The most unrealistic action hero of all time (with the possible exception of Summer Glau in Serenity) is back! Resident Evil: Afterlife has its first teaser poster, which comes to us from the Ultimate Resident Evil fansite.
Doesn’t it look like someone went “Wait a minute! People won’t get this whole ‘dimension’ hint! Stamp a 3D on there!”?
In case you haven’t been following the (ahem) exciting Resident Evil franchise so far, this one will once again feature a butt-kicking Milla Jovovich fighting the Umbrella corporation, who’s turned the whole world into zombies. She’ll head to LA this time to bring an end to them with a few new companions (including Jill Valentine once again) and fight one of those big dudes from the game with the giant hammer. Most likely things will happen in slow motion in sad effort to make the action look more badass than it really is, like that abso-fucking-lutely hilarious dog-kicking scene from the first film.

I haven't minded the Resident Evil movies. Somehow, they have managed to churn out good video game movies. That said, the movies plots, style and theme are completely different from the games. I think the studios have used the name as a creative license to make zombie flicks with hot women with a science/government conspiracy bent.
Terrible terrible movies. And yet I've watched them on TV…why did I do that? Even that shot of Milla's puss was the least exciting presentation of a potentially awesome subject.
Hey alex, Summer kicked ass in T:SCC…
Alex, MORE films should have dogs being kicked in slow motion.
I enjoyed the first one for a popcorn zombie flick (having never played the game). The second one was atrocious. Never bothered with the third, and probably won't with the fourth either.
Yes, because someone possessing the RL coordination, agility, focus, and grace of 1.5 decades of dance could never translate those skills to something like fighting. Alex, I hope you were just trolling for fun and aren't truly that much of a couch nerd to not understand the connection.
No, I just genuinely find the idea (and execution) of Milla Jovovich needlessly bouncing off walls to kick zombie dogs absolutely hysterical. Oh, the coordination, agility, focus and grace! BEHOLD THE POWER OF DANCE!
You know what? I'm actually looking forward to this shit storm. I have no problems with seeing hot chicks with guns mowing down zombies/critters/cgi made things, especially if the 3D effects are good.
Riviello, you must have shat yourself with hysteria while watching The matrix.
It's trendy to piss on Anderson but the first RE flick is a decent action movie. It's not like the games had high quality writing associated with them or anything. A couple of BOO scares and zombies. Big fuckity whoop.
The dog scene must have been hilarious to film. Coaching the slime and latex covered dog to run into Milla's foot must have been a fantastic experience for the dog & dogs trainer alike!
As bad as these movies are they have a car wreck type effect on me, I can't seem to turn away once I start watching them.
#6 LD, you pretty much summed up the truth of it. Glau's fight scenes in Serenity not have been the best fight scenes ever, but they were some of the most fluid. Dance background translated well there.
These lame ass movies aren't even about zombies anymore, they literally have nothing to do with the game, except using some of the character names. They should just start calling these
Milla Jovavich: Fighting a bunch of extras.
The idea that anyone would go about defending these movies makes me sad. Especially the idea that you would defend them as a dance exhibition. Jeeezis.
These movies are large steaming turds laying on your tongue, if you even try to argue then stop talking with your mouth full.
It's a silly series with zombies, rubber monsters, and girls doing kung-fu. Why do you people hate fun so much?
The games might not have great writing but they have some great concepts and much opportunity for a filmmaker to transfer into an enjoyable movie experience. All of which PWSA somehow managed to avoid making decent use of. @#15: We don't hate fun. We hate not-fun, which these movies are.
How many different extreme death-related subtitles are they going to come up with? What could the next one possibly be?
