Resident Evil: Afterlife (2009)

Resident Evil: Afterlife (R) - Review

"Do Not Resuscitate"

The Resident Evil franchise is rather fascinating, what with each iteration completely ejecting the previous films ideas just to make way for the new ones Paul W. S. Anderson has dreamed up.  In this one Milla Jovovich has conveniently lost her powers and must now fight the hoard in dilapidated (and flooded?)  Los Angeles.  She ends up in a prison where she must work with and rescue the people inside to get to the next red herring of an ending that the next movie will simply ignore and write whatever the hell they want to happen.  This is, however, one of the slowest and ploddingest of the RE movies and has the fewest tie ins to the video games that spawned it.
