Starring: Milla Jovovich, Ali Carter and Wentworth Miller
I saw this movie last night via Netflix DVD. I've seen the previous ones and found each one to be a little more silly each time. The first one, maybe even two, were great. I've watched them more than once. Afterlife is just goofy. A zombie movie is still a zombie movie. No one expects to believe it, but it should still have that certain ability to make you forget that you're not supposed to believe. A few moments spattered in there that make you gasp or jump a little in your chair. They did get me a few times. Like the first time the zombies make their obligatory suprise appearance. However, there is just an edge of "I don't think so" that won't be denied about 1/2 way into the movie. Milla still does an awesome job as the action hero. This is a sequel movie based on a video game that I've never played, so perhaps that is where the breakdown of communication occurs.
I watched this movie with my son, a Resident Evil movie fan, and my cat. My son gave it two thumbs down and my cat fell asleep in the first 10 minutes, but that's what cats do. I give it one thumb down for the imagination and possible appeal to little boys that should be too young to be watching movies like this anyway.
