Resident Evil: afterlife


I saw Resident Evil when it got out back in 2002, and was impressed by the tension and action and, by Milla Jovovich, of course. Although flawed, the second installment of the franchise found more room to expand to than i could've ever imagined. And though it was logical, the third one provided the goods as well with more action and a bigger picture, as well.
Now, Alice is back, once again. I wasn't sure what to expect, because the series were strong and solid so far, but it isn't easy to keep up the good pace. So, at first, i thought it wasn't going to be easy to match the prequels, especially the scale of the last installment
But then, the news about the 3D came around, and followed by the fusion system technology announcement, the infamous Cameron creation, that will be used almost ruthlessly often in the future, it was all clear. I saw it getting better and better, the development of the movie was incredible lately and, though the trailer wasn't saying much, i was kind of hoping to cover the best parts, and i luckily hoped right and this was the best part-i wasn't expecting even half of the action and battle sequences i saw
And i must say that the cast is the best that could've been assembled. Ali Larter is great, she's grown so much to the series that fits her perfectly well. Wentworth Miller is cool, a little bit Scofield-like, but that's normal. After all, he was great as a con. The only thing i missed was Oded Fehr, who has portrayed a very likable and convincing character in the 2-nd and 3-rd installments
And, surprisingly, the script had more in common with the videogames than the prequels had. I mean, that's a fresh take, and the 3D makes it better.
