Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D - Blu-ray + 3D

I am a huge fan of the Resident Evil movie series, but I must be honest and say that "Resident Evil: Afterlife" makes the other installments look like garbage by comparison. The budget was much higher, and thus allowed for longer, more explosive battles, and a huge number of visuals, which range from Alaska, to Toyko, Los Angeles, inside of a maximum security prison, and on a boat. The movie opens with a huge scene in the Umbrella facility headquarters, where Alice and her clones proceed to annihilate the entire facility. She literally kills almost everyone, taking down a sort-of hive at least ten times the size of any other in previous films. Albert Wesker escapes though, in a plane with the original Alice, and blows up the entire facility. He injects Alice, making her human again, before they crash. And this only the beginning. Alice flies in a plane, and eventually reaches Alaska, trying to find "Arcadia." There is no one there, just many planes. She is eventually attacked by Claire, who has a mechanical, parastic like device on her chest, and causes her to fight Alice. Alice wins, because she still is very strong even without her special powers from 2-3. They move on, and head over Los Angeles, where they land the plane and meet up with new survivors, who are living in a maximum security prison. This is where the movie slows down a little, taking time to get Claire back to herself as she is suffering from memory loss, and meeting Chris Redfield. Huge spoiler!: Arcadia is a ship, and they can see it. So it's time to leave, and get there. Unfortunately the "Executioner" shows up, and this is after evolved zombies dig holes and get inside. THey decide to use the tunnels they made as a means to escape, but not before the Executioner shows in the showers. Water shoots everywhere as he takes Claire and Alice on in the best part of the film. And, keep in mind, we are about half-way through at this point. They get on "Arcadia," which is supposed to be a safe ship for survivors. Unfortunately, it is not. It is a huge trap concocted by Umbrella itelf. On it are 2, 000 prisoners, people they have collected to experiment on. This is a pretty messed up scene, which involves Alice confronting Wesker again. The people are released. This entire scene is very unique looking in that the entire interior is bright white. What follows is the ultimate battle, with Wesker having two evolved dogs who go at Alice, while Claire and Chris go at Wesker. Cool Matrix style moves ensue (ones that look and feel far better than the movie that came out like ten years ago), in which Wesker is "supposedly" taking down. In case anyone wonders, the Perfect Circle song titled "The Outsider (Apocalypse Mix)" is used in this scene, as it was in the trailer. They shoot wesker many times, but he still manages to get up and take off. He goes to detonate the boat, but the bomb is planted on his plane, and he explodes, presumed dead. They seem to have won but...tons of planes like Wesker's show all around. It is obvious Umbrella is planning what may be a huge "final stand." And just when you think it cannot get any better, Jill Valentine, with one of the mechanical parasitic devices on her chest, is taking charge, and seems to directly address the audience about a huge battle coming. Things that must be ackowledged further is the 3-D. Unlike the stupid cheap conversions used in many recent movies, they used the same system James Cameron used for Avatar, the real 3-D system, filmed with it. It is astounding, from the rain, to some simple blood splatters, glass, and the executioners weapons. Another draw is the excellent score, composed of explosive rock/industrial sound music. I would say it was either up to par, or better than the composed soundtrack for the original, and hundred times better than the scores used for Apocalypse or Extinction. Also, Chris finally came into the mix. I will now go onto game similarities. A huge draw is the Executioner from RE4, but a lot of movie is composed from Code Veronica, from the prison situation mainly. More is definitely borrowed from "The Umbrella Chronicles" as well. In fact, in context to the games, I would say this movie is more faithful than 1 or Extinction (2 being the most faithful which was exactly like 3: Nemesisis in many cases). Another plus point would be the growing number of heroines, hopefully the likes of Leon Kennedy or Rebecca Marshall will be added next time around. So, all in all, this was an excellent movie. It outdid the entire franchise, and should easily outgross them as well. Be sure to see it in theatres, as one should not miss an actual, true 3-D experience.

Another classic Alice! These films have made that name famous again. The creativity and special effects and story line too are a great watch. Rent or buy, you will love it.

I originally saw Resident Evil: Afterlife in the theaters in 3D and it was a very enjoyable experience that I will never forget. I wish that I could have seen it on the big screen once or twice more but as fate would have it, I was not able to. So I was very much looking forward to seeing it again when I bought it on DVD. Although this review is for the standard DVD only, from what I remember, the 3D for this film was awesome on the big screen. I hope to someday see it again in 3D. But the movie is still very good on its own even without the 3D effects. Update: I finally obtained Resident Evil Afterlife on Blu Ray in 3D and let me tell you, this movie looks AWESOME in 3D at home. If you have a 3D TV and a Blu Ray player that can handle 3D disks then do not hesitate to get this movie, it looks amazing! I give it the highest rating and recommendation possible. Paul W.S. Anderson wrote and directed this installment and he did a fabulous job. He is one of my favorite directors and I love most of his films from Mortal Kombat, to Death Race, and this one is one of his best features yet. It is loaded with great action scenes, lots of suspenseful moments, and beautiful slow motion visuals. It also features one of the coolest movie monsters yet in the form of the giant lumbering Executioner monster which carries and swings a ridiculously huge hammer/axe thing at his victims. The Executioner looked awesome in 3D, especially when he would swing and throw his big hammer/axe at the viewer! This movie is a Horror Action/Thriller movie fans dream come true. If you loved Resident Evil Extinction, you will definitely enjoy this film as well. I can't wait to see what they do with the next installment!

I never played resident evil game and not a fan of it by any means.Movie Resident evil is thriller not horror,not single scare was created by gore or amputations that was good for a mass appeal.So far its the best 3D movie i watched in theater and Home. it share same camera technology as used by James Cameron.Resident evil makes you realise that you are watching 3d version by intermittenly rotating caremas,gun shots or debris throwing towards you.Many people `ll hate it but they are mostly the ones who didn`t invest in 3D tech but those who did`ll mostly like it.There is more feel and involvement in movie even if it is at sake of wearing big glasses.This movie delivers it all and makes it best movie so far to show off your 3D home theater.Its not like Movie UP (Great movie for 2D viewing)and many others who are great for viewing in 2D but why 3D? You are carrying burden of glasses whole time for basically nothing.These cheap tactics to make quick bucks for studios in theater are not helpful for 3D adopters of present or future.

To mój pierwszy film w 4K HDR, była okazja poniżej 40 złotych. Film taki sobie, ale obraz dobry. Za tą cenę może być.

I am a huge fan of the Resident Evil games and films and was excited to learn that that Afterlife was going to feature 3D. The opening shots of the film on the streets of Tokyo together with the powerfully atmospheric music created a very strong start to the film. The action sequences throughout the film were great and strongly enhanced by the use of the 3D. The music was brilliant and added to the dynamic nature of the action sequences. Milla was great again as Alice, but I was a little disappointed that her clones were killed off so quickly. It was interesting that Chris Redfield featured in this film, but I think he could have been given more screen time. It was also good that Jill Valentine made a return to the film as she was a strong and likeable character in the second film. Like another reviewer, I thought this was definately the strongest sequel to the original Resident Evil film and would thoroughly recommend it. I loved it so much that I saw it twice!!!!

Tres bon film. J’ai due le racheter car l’autre que j’avais dans le coffre collection a cesser de fonctionner,,, content d’avoir pu le trouver en français

迫力満点で気に入ってます。

La spedizione è stata perfetta, arrivato in breve tempo e in un ottimo imballo in modo da non rovinare la custodia. Il blu-ray è di ottima qualità, con scene 3D fatte molto bene. Pur essendo un film che non è pienamente coinvolgente, al tempo stesso non è nemmeno stancante. La cosa che coinvolge invece è la colonna sonora che è ben congegnata e si adatta in modo perfetto al genere del film. Nel complesso però sono rimasto soddisfatto, infatti metto 5 stelle.
