My latest watch: Resident Evil Afterlife
I have always been a fan of the Resident Evil series I personally think Milla Jovovich could kick anyone's ass. However, this was the first one I did not go see in the theater (not a big fan of everything being in 3D). But I got it on Netflix and watched it while I worked on some homework, FYI zombies plus scary math homework not a good mix. Anyhow, I liked the new one. The story was still in line with the series and the time line of the story. But if you are looking for zombies everywhere I would try elsewhere. True there are new creatures to deal with and there are some attacks by mutated infected people there is not the whole being chased by large numbers for the most of the movie. This installment is more of a lets wrap up a little bit about what in the hell the Umbrella Corp is up to kind of thing. And they do still kind of leave it open ended at the end so we may be seeing another one in future. But what I liked about it the most really was the story they went back and explained things and showed how the Alice character is dealing with the Apocalypse. Plus you get some crazy hand to hand combat it this one. So my recommend is if you like the Resident Evil movies go rent it but if you are a first timer I would back up and watch it from the beginning so your not left with a lot of questions.
I'm one of those strange people that will generally stop and watch a zombie film. I stumbled across the Resident Evil series after being familiar witht the video game. I gave it a chance and got hooked. Moments of the series could get a bit lame, but I'm usually much more lenient in my judgement of this particular genre. That, and I've always been a sucker for creature-features. I haven't this latest installment of Resident Evil and I am, at this very moment, sending it to the top of my queue. And just like Jess, I'm a big fan of Jovovich. She is the best female action-star I've ever seen, because she is so believable. She kicks ass and is less campy than Lucy Lawless (whom I also adore). Lovovich and zombies, in my opinion, is simply a great match-up.
