What to Know

Critics Consensus

As dim-witted and lifeless as its undead antagonists, Resident Evil: Afterlife is a wholly unnecessary addition to the franchise.

Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader 12/20/2010
True to series form, plot is nearly indiscernible, but this fourth installment in the sci-fi/horror/action franchise created by writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson is the sleekest so far, thanks to 3D and star Milla Jovovich's body-hugging catsuit. Go to Full Review
Jim Schembri The Age (Australia) 10/15/2010
3.5/5
Bound to please the legions of Milla fans who have doubtless poured over the extras-rich DVDs of the first three Resident Evils, as well as her please-sequel-this gem Ultra Violet. Go to Full Review
David Stratton At the Movies (Australia) 10/13/2010
At least you know what to expect with this sort of film, and you don't get anything more. Go to Full Review

Resident Evil: Afterlife is a moderately watchable sequel, exactly what you expect from a "part four" movie. Go to Full Review

Frankly, this is unacceptable. Go to Full Review

Hopefully, the most faithful of fans will find the nods to the game amusing, even if the story, characters, sets, and boss fights are all laughably obnoxious. Go to Full Review

bob t Oct 4 When the screen fades to black as a transition, I feel like I'm watching a tv show from the early 2000s. See more Sep 9 I ripped the whole franchise. 1 was ok. 2 was unwatchable- I hated it. 3 was pedestrian but alright. This is the 4th. It's got some really nice Looking scene's- very similar to a sub-Matrix style. Again with the weird mutants that come out of nowhere and people who have powers seemingly at random but of the first 4= this one was the best and a somewhat enjoyable watch. I don't know if 5 and 6 can ever be good enough for me to save them to my collection but going to give them a go. Frankly, you'd be better off watching it from 3 on, so far. See more Derek S Aug 22 Wanted to turn this off within the first 5 minutes. When the opening scene is a woman with knives defeating 60 armed mercinaries, you know you should have watched toxic avenger for a better experience. How can this excremental discharge of a movie take itself seriously? See more Pedro Henrique C @Pedro2005 May 26 This fourth Resident Evil film is the most predictable of all, the action sequences take a long time to happen, most of the time it drags on a lot with very bad dialogues. In addition to these characters uninteresting. See more Guilherme F Mar 2 O PIOR DE TODA FRANQUIA COM TODA CERTEZA, A IDEIA DAS COPIAS É MUITO RUIM, TUDO NESSE FILME É RUIM. See more Ralph R Feb 3 Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010) is a movie built entirely around its 3D experience, and that is both its strength and its downfall. The story takes a slightly better direction than the previous sequels, benefiting from W.S. Anderson’s return as director, but it still lacks depth. The movie leans fully into action and spectacle, with a focus on flashy sequences rather than strong storytelling. Watching it in 3D, the visuals and effects shine, giving a level of immersion that helps mask the flaws, but in 2D, it loses much of its impact and starts to feel more like a video game cutscene than a cinematic experience. The cinematography and editing are more controlled than in the last two films, making the action at least watchable without feeling overly chaotic. Slow motion is used heavily, almost excessively, but in the 3D format, it works as intended. The film’s standout moment is the chained hammer attack, which delivers one of the most memorable uses of 3D, making it a rare scene that actually evokes a reaction. While the direction is better, the script remains simplistic, offering just enough to move the story along without any real depth. Milla Jovovich once again carries the film, keeping it entertaining with her presence and well-executed action sequences. The supporting cast is there, but nothing particularly stands out. The soundtrack keeps the industrial rock vibe going, fitting well with the movie’s style. Overall, Afterlife is all about the 3D spectacle. If watched in its intended format, it is an enjoyable action-packed ride. In 2D, however, the flaws are much harder to ignore, making it a much weaker film when stripped of its biggest selling point.
