I am a huge fan of the Resident Evil movie series, but I must be honest and say that "Resident Evil: Afterlife" makes the other installments look like garbage by comparison.The budget was much higher, and thus allowed for longer, more explosive battles, and a huge number of visuals, which range from Alaska, to Toyko, Los Angeles, inside of a maximum security prison, and on a boat.The movie opens with a huge scene in the Umbrella facility headquarters, where Alice and her clones proceed to annihilate the entire facility. She literally kills almost everyone, taking down a sort-of hive at least ten times the size of any other in previous films. Albert Wesker escapes though, in a plane with the original Alice, and blows up the entire facility. He injects Alice, making her human again, before they crash. And this only the beginning.Alice flies in a plane, and eventually reaches Alaska, trying to find "Arcadia." There is no one there, just many planes. She is eventually attacked by Claire, who has a mechanical, parastic like device on her chest, and causes her to fight Alice. Alice wins, because she still is very strong even without her special powers from 2-3.They move on, and head over Los Angeles, where they land the plane and meet up with new survivors, who are living in a maximum security prison. This is where the movie slows down a little, taking time to get Claire back to herself as she is suffering from memory loss, and meeting Chris Redfield. Huge spoiler!: Arcadia is a ship, and they can see it. So it's time to leave, and get there.Unfortunately the "Executioner" shows up, and this is after evolved zombies dig holes and get inside. THey decide to use the tunnels they made as a means to escape, but not before the Executioner shows in the showers. Water shoots everywhere as he takes Claire and Alice on in the best part of the film. And, keep in mind, we are about half-way through at this point.They get on "Arcadia," which is supposed to be a safe ship for survivors. Unfortunately, it is not. It is a huge trap concocted by Umbrella itelf. On it are 2, 000 prisoners, people they have collected to experiment on. This is a pretty messed up scene, which involves Alice confronting Wesker again. The people are released. This entire scene is very unique looking in that the entire interior is bright white.What follows is the ultimate battle, with Wesker having two evolved dogs who go at Alice, while Claire and Chris go at Wesker. Cool Matrix style moves ensue (ones that look and feel far better than the movie that came out like ten years ago), in which Wesker is "supposedly" taking down. In case anyone wonders, the Perfect Circle song titled "The Outsider (Apocalypse Mix)" is used in this scene, as it was in the trailer. They shoot wesker many times, but he still manages to get up and take off. He goes to detonate the boat, but the bomb is planted on his plane, and he explodes, presumed dead.They seem to have won but...tons of planes like Wesker's show all around. It is obvious Umbrella is planning what may be a huge "final stand." And just when you think it cannot get any better, Jill Valentine, with one of the mechanical parasitic devices on her chest, is taking charge, and seems to directly address the audience about a huge battle coming.Things that must be ackowledged further is the 3-D. Unlike the stupid cheap conversions used in many recent movies, they used the same system James Cameron used for Avatar, the real 3-D system, filmed with it. It is astounding, from the rain, to some simple blood splatters, glass, and the executioners weapons.Another draw is the excellent score, composed of explosive rock/industrial sound music. I would say it was either up to par, or better than the composed soundtrack for the original, and hundred times better than the scores used for Apocalypse or Extinction.Also, Chris finally came into the mix. I will now go onto game similarities. A huge draw is the Executioner from RE4, but a lot of movie is composed from Code Veronica, from the prison situation mainly. More is definitely borrowed from "The Umbrella Chronicles" as well. In fact, in context to the games, I would say this movie is more faithful than 1 or Extinction (2 being the most faithful which was exactly like 3: Nemesisis in many cases).Another plus point would be the growing number of heroines, hopefully the likes of Leon Kennedy or Rebecca Marshall will be added next time around.So, all in all, this was an excellent movie. It outdid the entire franchise, and should easily outgross them as well. Be sure to see it in theatres, as one should not miss an actual, true 3-D experience.
