RESIDENT EVIL : AFTERLIFE 2010 (SONY)

The 4th in the series.

Alice (Milla Jovovich) continues her fight against the Umbrella Corporation and the world wide plague of the walking dead created by the T virus.

She leaves Alaska after not finding Arcadia, which is a promised land of non infected people and lands in Los Angeles where a group of survivors are trapped in a prison surrounded by the walking dead. They too have received messages from Arcadia which promise safety and security.

While Alice was in Alaska she found Claire Redfield (Ali Larter) with her memory erased. Slowly laire begins to recover while everyone tries to find a way to escape.

They discover that Arcadia is a ship off the coast of California, and when they arrive they are attacked by soldiers belonging to the Umbrella Corporation.

The plot kind of drags a bit and I really don't like the slow motion action sequences made to look like "The Matrix", but it was still an ok movie. It's a small disappointment after the 3rd installment, but as I have always said, the more sequels you make, the worse they become.

The acting is fine despite what some reviews say and Jovovivh is always a pleasure to see as well as Larter, but it seems that the film lost it's way about half way thru and then found it again as the ending sets up for the next film, which will be reviewed here soon.

Resident Evil fans will find this one somewhat enjoyable, but not up to par.
