Let’s see how Resident Evil: Afterlife fucks this up! Continue reading “Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010)” → Categories 2010s, Resident Evil Sequel Month, Reviews I like the idea that there’s a chance the world can come back from the brink. There also appeared to be some glimmer of hope in the third movie’s conclusion that Alice (Milla Jovovich) is going to punch all the bad guys while Claire (Ali Larter) was going to lead as many survivors as possible to the supposedly infection-free area of Alaska.
Sure, we can debate exactly why Umbrella is still operating like a company when the world is apparently a total wasteland, or what they were still doing with experiments and so forth, but it was a different movie that mixed some good elements of Day of the Dead with Mad Max and so on. However, the third, Resident Evil: Extinction, despite it being the worst reviewed movie in the series, surprised me in a lot of ways. We’re at the halfway point of the month and I can say that while I didn’t like the original entry in the series, it wasn’t as bad as the second.
Resident Evil Sequel Month carries on here at B-Movie Enema. So, let’s take a look back at what’s happened before we press forward, yes? Continue reading “Resident Evil: Retribution (2012)” → Categories 2010s, Resident Evil Sequel Month, Reviews This movie still made a shit ton of money ($240 million on a $65 million budget – the most expensive movie of the series). This movie didn’t perform quite as well, but it’s kind of like saying that Scottie Pippen didn’t perform as well as Michael Jordan. Again, over the top action, but fun and kind of accessible to people who want to see a little bit of gore, a little bit of action, and both Milla Jovovich and Ali Larter lighting the screen on fire with their feisty sexiness. After watching it, I kind of understand why. Interestingly, Afterlife had a huge box office take. This movie came out in what would ultimately be the 10th anniversary of the first film.
But, here we are, the FIFTH movie in the series – Resident Evil: Retribution. Afterlife did have some really goofy action sequences but they were fun to watch. Oh, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel on Resident Evil Sequel Month here at B-Movie Enema!Īdmittedly, it really was only the first two entries of this series that I struggled with the most.
