I thought it might be Jill Valentine because she looked like she did in the game, but was confused because in Apocalypse she had dark hair.Michele (TheGirlWhoLovesHorror)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03309044766117909683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717349721694216715.post-22977537510310758352010-09-19T12:42:03.955-04:002010-09-19T12:42:03.955-04:00Okay I got around to seeing this the other day and...Okay I got around to seeing this the other day and re-read your review - you give the film WAY too much credit! I know that's not saying much, but I thought Afterlife was a huge disappointment. I'm starting to really see your point about this whole series that I thought I really liked. <br /><br />Taking Alice's powers away could have been an interesting plot development but you're right - the rest of the movie she just acts like nothing's changed and she can still kick ass just the same.<br /><br />Seriously, THAT'S who they got to play Chris Redfield? What a freaking pansy, he doesn't do SHIT in the movie to make him as cool as he's supposed to be.<br /><br />Executioner Majini was cool and had a great entrance, but the slo-mo fight was extremely annoying. Where does he come from and how did he get there? Who cares, we don't have to 'splain nothin'!<br /><br />I was all excited for the final battle with Wesker and that was a letdown. He does use the superspeed powers from the game (such a pain in the ass when you're trying to shoot him) to fight Claire and Chris and that was cool but then some thing just comes out of his mouth and they shoot him but he's not really dead and then he sneakily gets on a plane that they rigged with a bomb and he blows up? Really? That's it?<br /><br />Argh! I'm so pissed off. I should have gone to see the new Night Shyamalan... even if it's as crappy as Signs, it's still better than Afterlife!<br /><br />I'm having a blonde moment - who is the woman at the end?Michele (TheGirlWhoLovesHorror)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03309044766117909683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717349721694216715.post-51919101491476698672010-09-15T18:19:32.495-04:002010-09-15T18:19:32.495-04:00@TGWLH - You would think being human would allow h...@TGWLH - You would think being human would allow her to express her emotions more. She does emote a drop more, but it's still basically the same performance.<br /><br />As for the axe, I do believe it gets thrown towards the screen. The slow motion ruins the tension of the fight, but it's still a pretty cool moment.<br /><br />@Pete - Yeah, I should have added spice. And it's pretty much the same crap, except with a 3D layer which helps the film's entertainment value.Fred [The Wolf]https://www.blogger.com/profile/03208803636786210066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717349721694216715.post-65302980786850825862010-09-14T00:08:33.849-04:002010-09-14T00:08:33.849-04:00I warned you to take some salt and pepper with you...I warned you to take some salt and pepper with you to see this one, lol. Now we have the awesome combination of bland and wooden performances. So it's like Pinocchio before the Blue Fairy waved her wand and said, "Little puppet made of pine, wake, the gift of life is thine". Maybe she should have done the same for some of the actors in this so there would have been some life in their performances. <br />I know I won't go see this, but if it comes to redbox, then I might rent it. sounds like more of the same, which is getting tedious to be honest. <br />Dreaded Dreams<br />Petunia ScareumAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717349721694216715.post-64590750784031598182010-09-13T17:43:24.436-04:002010-09-13T17:43:24.436-04:00Haven't gotten to this last one yet, but I got...Haven't gotten to this last one yet, but I gotta say I was hoping Milla wouldn't suck as much as did through the last two films. Sounds like her monotone, emotionless acting still lingers. I guess it's because her character has had to become harder after all this zombie crap but it makes it really hard to see her as a human rather than a robot.<br /><br />Does the Executioner's axe come at you in 3d? Cause I'm realllly looking forward to that.Michele (TheGirlWhoLovesHorror)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03309044766117909683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717349721694216715.post-68945253010582986752010-09-13T03:11:20.411-04:002010-09-13T03:11:20.411-04:00Yeah I think the main problem was the director and...Yeah I think the main problem was the director and he should of took better control over it.

The fact that it improved upon EXTINCTION satisfied me. At least it seems like they're moving towards somewhere, even though it probably happened 2 films ago. But it should have been a lot better. And I dug Wesker in this film. And I didn't hate the actor either. I kind of blame the director for what happened here.Fred [The Wolf]https://www.blogger.com/profile/03208803636786210066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717349721694216715.post-4770736731918866402010-09-12T23:41:51.622-04:002010-09-12T23:41:51.622-04:00I feel the same way!

Even though I adore Milla Jovovich I thought she was mono tone and needed more personality. Wesker was my favorite in this movie and he was really nice to look at too. I go for the bad guys in movies :D Great review!Jenny Kruegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00380254017784609692noreply@blogger.com
