In a world overrun with the walking dead, Alice (Milla Jovovich) continues her battle against Umbrella Corp., rounding up survivors along the way. Joined by an old friend, Alice and her group set out for a rumored safe haven in Los Angeles. Instead of sanctuary, they find the city overrun with zombies, and a trap about to spring.
As dim-witted and lifeless as its undead antagonists, Resident Evil: Afterlife is a wholly unnecessary addition to the franchise.

The plot is not original and the 3D is quite bad. And since we've literally seen all this before, it's only occasionally entertaining, and rarely interesting. |
| 245435 | Steve Newton | Georgia Straight | Rotten | 1.5/5 | 2013-02-15T19:07:32.000Z | 2013-02-15 19:07:32 | Resident Evil: Afterlife sees Anderson returning to cinematic dreck with a stunningly tedious exercise in 3-D CGI wankery. |

| 245440 | Tim Brayton | Antagony & Ecstasy | Rotten | 3/10 | 2012-09-17T22:03:59.000Z | 2012-09-17 22:03:59 | The action, however spirited in its manic creativity, is so relentlessly repetitive that it ceases to be as cool as the director plainly imagines it to be a very long time before the end of the movie . |

Anderson is the sleekest so far, thanks to 3D and star Milla Jovovich's body-hugging catsuit. |

The primary source of inspiration for the screenplay seems to be Alien 3 -- the very worst of the Alien films -- in both its content and incomprehensibility. |

Anderson makes particular use of sets and locations to wring out more bang for the stereoscopic buck. |

| 245492 | Frank Swietek | One Guy's Opinion | Rotten | D- | 2010-09-12T12:14:14.000Z | 2010-09-12 12:14:14 | The improved sheen of 'Afterlife' doesn't compensate for the feeling that the franchise has really run out of the little steam it ever had. |
| 245493 | Jeffrey M. Anderson | Common Sense Media | Rotten | 2/5 | 2010-09-11T21:11:06.000Z | 2010-09-11 21:11:06 | All in all, it's not particularly smart or original, but it's also not all that bad. |

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me five times? I don't think so. |
| 245495 | Susan Granger | www.susangranger.com | Rotten | 2/10 | 2010-09-11T08:17:13.000Z | 2010-09-11 08:17:13 | Gory, pointless, pretentious and tedious, ending in a splattering cliffhanger, so you can expect this survival horror series to continue if it resonates at the box-office. |
| 245496 | Mike McGranaghan | Aisle Seat | Rotten | 2.5/4 | 2010-09-11T08:01:58.000Z | 2010-09-11 08:01:58 | While the movie itself is no great shakes, the 3D is awesomely fun. |

Milla Jovovich commands the screen and makes all the RE films a fun ride. If you hate the series, this won't change your mind. |
| 245499 | Marc Lee | Daily Telegraph (UK) | Rotten | 2/5 | 2010-09-11T05:15:09.000Z | 2010-09-11 05:15:09 | Milla Jovovich sashays through the ludicrous mayhem once more, this time in 3D. |

| 245501 | Eric D. Snider | Film.com | Rotten | C+ | 2010-09-10T22:22:32.000Z | 2010-09-10 22:22:32 | Like pretty much all of Anderson's films, this one is half-baked. The half that's baked isn't too bad, though. |
| 245502 | Bill Gibron | Filmcritic.com | Rotten | 1.5/5 | 2010-09-10T22:02:25.000Z | 2010-09-10 22:02:25 | like a poorly made cream puff -- fancy and somewhat rarified on the outside, as empty as an airhead's thought process on the inside |

| 245504 | Sara Michelle Fetters | MovieFreak.com | Rotten | 2/4 | 2010-09-10T19:14:15.000Z | 2010-09-10 19:14:15 | It's a lot of whiz with very little bang, and by the time the forgone cliffhanger conclusion rolled around I was teetering on the edge of boredom so fully that the incredulity of the last scene didn't bother me near as much as it should have. |
| 245505 | Thomas Leupp | Hollywood.com | Rotten | 1/5 | 2010-09-10T17:59:41.000Z | 2010-09-10 17:59:41 | If there is an afterlife, I hope to God this movie isn't playing there. |

| 245507 | Jeannette Catsoulis | New York Times | Rotten | 1/5 | 2010-09-10T17:11:29.000Z | 2010-09-10 17:11:29 | This witless installment features the usual ultra-slow-motion mayhem and helpful freeze-frames to allow us to admire the extra dimension. Fans will not be happy, however, to learn that Ms. Jovovich is more decently clothed this time around. |
| 245508 | Nathan Rabin | AV Club | Fresh | B- | 2010-09-10T17:03:13.000Z | 2010-09-10 17:03:13 | Resident Evil's appeal as a series is almost exclusively rooted in Jovovich's charisma. She combines the enigmatic magnetism of a silent-movie siren with the bravado of an action hero. |
| 245509 | Jeff Labrecque | Entertainment Weekly | Rotten | D | 2010-09-10T16:56:31.000Z | 2010-09-10 16:56:31 | Afterlife is slow-moving but relentless, and judging from a post-credits teaser that promises at yet another sequel, it has an unquenchable appetite for your brain cells. |
| 245510 | Teddy Durgin | Screen It! | Rotten | — | 2010-09-10T15:45:00.000Z | 2010-09-10 15:45:00 | On the plus side, here is an action franchise that features two strong women as its main protagonists. On the minus side - well, there's pretty much the rest of the movie. (Parental Review also Available |
| 245511 | Maitland McDonagh | Film Journal International | Rotten | — | 2010-09-10T13:37:39.000Z | 2010-09-10 13:37:39 | Zombies and Jovovich in goryous 3D, unencumbered by plot and character development. |

| 245515 | Joe Lozito | Big Picture Big Sound | Rotten | 2/4 | 2010-09-10T10:19:07.000Z | 2010-09-10 10:19:07 | Like one of its lumbering undead, this video game franchise is hard to kill. The fourth entry is less about zombie mayhem than about progressing a larger story arc - if anyone still cares. |
| 245516 | Paul "Nomad" Nicholasi | Dread Central | Rotten | 1.5/5 | 2010-09-10T09:20:59.000Z | 2010-09-10 09:20:59 | No matter how soulless the films, the video games still provide excellent story lines, monsters and creeps that excite horror fans with each release. I pray, one day, someone will do them justice. |

| 245522 | Brad Miska | Bloody Disgusting | Rotten | 2.5/5 | 2010-09-10T04:20:59.000Z | 2010-09-10 04:20:59 | Instead of engaging us with a good plot, Anderson turns Afterlife into a visual and audio showcase. The film is literally an hour and a half music video jam-packed with uninspired Nine Inch Nails riffs and drumbeats. |
