Review of Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010) by Stephanie Z — 01 Aug 2015

Probably would give it more of a 2.75, but thought I'd be generous. The beginning was a little too weird for my taste, but I love pure action movies. This one was one of those and just kind of fun, dark, goth, good stuff.

I actually liked the main actor more than I thought I would. I liked that her character was plain and simple, a badass. She wasn't a slut, she wasn't your typical bitch female, wasn't too cocky, and not too over-the-top, stupid flashy and I actually found myself rooting for a female character for the first time in a long time.

I personally just like simple movies that aren't difficult to follow and do not require over-thinking. I watch movies as more of a form of relaxation than puzzles. The writers knew what they were doing and did not over-dramatize the death of characters no one really cared that much about anyway; they just moved on with the story.

That is the type of writing that keeps me interested. Smart. This was a fun, industrial film I would not mind watching again and perhaps watching more of the series.
