RESIDENT EVIL: AFTERLIFE.

Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D

T he fourth Resident Evil movie has 3D as its main selling point, and without doubt the 3D is of a very high quality. There are plenty of visually impressive scenes, with planes skimming over glaciers or examining the inside of huge, expansive white hangars. But as we have come to expect from this series, and this director, the films always look good and have well-staged action, but they don't have one iota of originality or imagination – to the extent of virtually recreating key scenes from The Matrix, Die Hard and The Descent. It matters not, though; if you've seen the previous three RE films, you'll know not to expect any surprises. Milla Jovovich is relaxed and at ease in her role; another dozen or so Resident Evil films and she might even be quite good.

Resident Evil: Afterlife Review

Resident Evil: Afterlife

10 Sep 2010

Resident Evil: Afterlife

The same again, in 3D. Paul W.S. Anderson, who directed the first film but only produced the last two, is back at the helm, and Milla Jovovich reprises her role as zombie-killing warrior babe Alice. It’s mostly set in a zombie-besieged prison in post-apocalypse Los Angeles, with the usual hard blokes, killer chicks, panicky deadweights and doomed bit-players taking hard knocks.

Anderson has a knack for uber-ridiculous, ultra slo-mo action scenes, which jolt some life into the picture, but an assembled-from-leftovers plot and dreadful speech bubble dialogue sink any involvement you might have with these drab, if buff remnants of humanity. This is ‘real D’, not a dodgy conversion job – but Anderson makes elementary mistakes with the process which suggest he got hold of James Cameron’s cameras but started shooting before he read the manuals properly.

Resident evil: afterlife 3d – movie review.

' src=

September 10, 2010

I woke up with excitement to finally see Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D, the fourth entry to Sony’s game-to-film franchise. By 3:30 pm, I patiently lined up and bought my ticket and grabbed my 3D glasses. I went inside the theatre, sat down, and anxiously waited for the movie to start. When the movie ended, I was left thinking what I just saw. To make the story short, I had two things in mind when I walked out of the theatre: awe and disappointment.

Please be warned that there might be some potential SPOILERS within this review.

Resident Evil: Afterlife is the first film in the franchise to be shot in 3D. Milla Jovovich(Alice) and Ali Larter(Claire Redfield) returns for another action-packed sequel. The film also features the debut of Chris Redfield, played by Wentworth Miller while Shawn Roberts replaces Jason O’Mara as Albert Wesker. Spencer Locke also returns to reprise her role as K-Mart. The film was written and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson.

The movie begins in Tokyo where we are greeted with an action packed opening  as our heroine Alice infiltrates an underground Umbrella facility. The opening sequences are really impressive as an army of Alice eradicates an Umbrella army except I didn’t like the matrix-esque scene where two Alice’s dives down backwards from a window. Also this part ends with a confrontation with Albert Wesker in an aircraft similar to that found in the recent Resident Evil 5.

Fast forward to Alaska where Alice tries to look for her friends but to no avail, she finds empty planes and no signs of life. While recording a video, she expressed a hint of giving up as she believes she might be the only person alive, that’s when she found Claire. Claire was apparently in the influence of a red device attached on her chest (another reminisce of RE5) and lost her memory. Alice removes the device off her and the two heads out for the ruins of LA where they meet a group of survivors taking refuge on a prison facility. Here we meet new characters that are mostly one dimensional and just makes potential zombie-foods for later.

This is where Chris Redfield finally makes his debut on the film. He is deemed untrustworthy by the other survivors. Things finally became interesting as we meet the new type of undead – the infected similar to the ganados and majinis from the recent RE games. Resident Evil 5’s Executioner also makes an appearance in a fight scene with Alice and Claire.

resident evil 3d movie review

I must say Resident Evil: Afterlife is a visually impressive film. Paul W. S. Anderson really made good use of James Cameron’s 3D technology and in the end it all paid off, Afterlife is one of the best 3D technology I’ve seen in a film. The 3D was really stunning and it overall made the whole movie experience a piece of art. Yes, it does have some of  those in-your-face things flying at you but the 3D was rendered very nicely.

resident evil 3d movie review

The films suffers a lot on the story department. It seems that the writing is somewhat confused or lost on where it wants to go. It also tends to drag in some parts. I wasn’t even invested with the Redfield siblings, they were there but there was not enough interaction seen between the two. It seem there was more connection to the characters of Alice and Luther(played by Boris Kodjoe). I must say that Milla had a strong performance with her character Alice. I wasn’t too fond of Shawn Roberts’ portrayal of long-time villain Albert Wesker and also felt that Wentworth Miller’s Chris Redfield was merely there for an extended cameo.

resident evil 3d movie review

This entry is one of the weaker entries among the rest of the films. The film just suffers from weak storyline, some slow parts and some unnecessary stereotypical characters. People looking for some bad-ass zombie killing fun will definitely enjoy this. The film has some few surprises that fans will definitely talk about (PLEASE STAY AS THE CREDITS STARTS TO ROLL) and hints at a bigger sequel. Overall, the movie was somewhat entertaining, although I think the movie is only worth a watch for the fans of the Resident Evil franchise (like myself).

Verdict: 6 out of 10

Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D

resident evil 3d movie review

Twenty years ago, the story arc of a video game existed almost entirely as a way to structure the action. The medium itself was such a novelty back then, at least as a home entertainment console, that people were looking for the most simplistic outline possible. It was harder to multi-task back when bands like Quiet Riot existed. Plus, there were four buttons to deal with, not counting the up, down, left and right arrows. Remembering details of why Bowser kidnapped the princess and how he recruited an army of oddly-shaped henchmen and cloud villains just didn’t seem relevant. You were good, they were evil, and as long as you could get a running start and grab the flag, it was all going to work out in the end. But then a funny thing happened on the way to Funcoland, the novelty wore off, and video game story arcs could no longer exist merely to structure the action.

Which brings us to Resident Evil : Afterlife , the first video game adaptation filmed with the 3D technology used in James Cameron ’s Avatar . In many ways, it’s strikingly modern. Falling three dimensional droplets of water perfectly bookend a few fight scenes, 300 -like slow motion nicely stutters breakneck action sequences allowing the viewer full appreciation of Alice’s samurai quickness, and hideous, CGI-ed beasts accentuate the fantastical, undead video game elements so many players fell in love with. But for all its twenty-first century camera tricks and eye-popping visual aids, Resident Evil: Afterlife doesn’t seem to comprehend that it’s not 1985. Story arcs can no longer exist merely to structure the action. We need real characters, we need real motivations and for God’s sake, we need a reason to give a shit.

Alice ( Milla Jovovich ) is a genetic anomaly, living in a wasteland populated almost entirely by zombies. The nefarious Umbrella Corporation, led by Albert Wesker (Shawn Roberts), has been hunting her for years in an effort to harness her DNA, but all their vile aims, thus far, have failed abysmally. In return, Alice has devoted her life to finding other survivors and when the fancy strikes her, turning the umbrella inside out . Periodically, she’s joined on her quest by fellow human Claire Redfield (Ali Larter), but tragically, since we saw her last, she’s developed amnesia. This slight mental disability, thankfully, only proves a minor hiccup, and soon the pair commandeers a plane and hits up an old prison in an attempt to save a few fellow lost souls.

In a wild stroke of luck, one of those fellow lost souls turns out to be an ass-kicking machine named Chris Redfield ( Wentworth Miller ), who, wait for it, happens to be Claire’s long-lost brother. Along with the other survivors, Alice and company hatch a plan to escape and find Arcadia, a supposedly bristling utopia where disease-free people carouse. The plane initially seems like the right way to escape, but as it won’t hold everyone, the gang must forage through the sewer system to find a boat. We all know good things never happen in the sewer.

The problem with Resident Evil: Afterlife is not the story arc, it’s how that arc is compromised again and again in ways eerily-reminiscent of old, hollow video games. Take one of the side characters, a perky girl who may as well not have a name. The only real fact we learn about her is that she was a champion swimmer. How bizarrely handy when they need someone to dive into the water. Don’t worry about her though. She won’t be around after her skill is no longer needed. Take Claire’s amnesia. Why does she have amnesia? Because she can’t just start out cooperating with her brother. Then who would be left to triumphantly join forces? Take the hooded-goliath like creature who shows up to knock the prison walls down. Why, unlike the other zombies, is he able to use weapons and conceivably, powers of reason? Does he work for the Umbrella Corporation? Is he acting on his own agency? That’s right, he must be a boss, which means we must be at the end of a level.

In a lot of ways, Resident Evil: Afterlife is a product of this exact moment. It’s excited about its graphics, hung up on the new 3D technology at its finger tips, but in even more ways, in all of the important ways, it’s an adaptation which will soon feel decades behind its time. Just as the Spider-Man trilogy seemed trivial and surface-level after The Dark Knight , Resident Evil: Afterlife will lose all value when the luster of its new, cutting-edge graphics fades. Every day, new games like God Of War and Uncharted are being released that use violence to further the story arc. The novelty of cartoonish killing without well-developed backstory is over, soon the third dimension for third dimension’s sake will seem idiotic and outdated. What will that leave Resident Evil with? A few zombie fights in a sewer. We all know good things never happen in the sewer. Unless, of course, they involve Ninja Turtles or Andy Dufresne.

Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D (Movie Review)

Jeff s's rating: ★ ½ director: paul w. s. anderson | release date: 2010.

In every way that matters to the people responsible, “Resident Evil: Afterlife” is a resounding success. Thanks to the extra ‘3D tax’ on ticket prices, it had the strongest opening weekend and per-screen average in the history of Paul W. S. Anderson’s franchise. Though “Afterlife,” like 2007’s “Extinction” before it, was touted as the last film in the series, planning on a fifth film is underway.

In every way that matters to the fans, “Resident Evil: Afterlife” is as lifeless as one of the film’s many, many CGI zombie antagonists, equally as brainless, even more listless and completely inaccessible to anyone that hasn’t seen the previous three films recently enough to care. Perhaps the worst of this installment’s sins is that if feels dated in spite of the bleeding-edge technology - the Fusion Camera System used to film “Avatar” and the upcoming “Tron: Legacy” , is also used here.

After a flashback sequence showing a T-Virus outbreak in Tokyo’s Shibuya crossing (with a nod to the original Japanese title of the “Resident Evil” video game series: “Biohazard”), “Afterlife” joins Alice (Milla Jovovich) as she wages an assault on the evil Umbrella Corporation’s subterranean Tokyo headquarters. Heavily armed and facing overwhelming odds, the army of clone Alices that were introduced at the end of “Extinction” engage in an epic fifteen minutes of gunfire mayhem and massive explosions, ending with Alice-Prime (you can tell because her hair is different!) and Umbrella’s Chairman Wesker (Shawn Roberts) crashing a plane into the side of a mountain. Wesker injects Alice with a serum that cures her of her T-Virus imbued superhuman abilities and, just before impact, she thanks him for making her human again. People in the theatre groaned at the line’s delivery.

If “Afterlife” were only its prologue, it would be a much more entertaining film. Its fifteen minutes of mindless popcorn action made good use of the hi-def camera and the 3D effects. It provides some closure for the previous film in the series. In fact, grafting it onto the end of “Extinction” might make for a trilogy that feels unified and complete.

There are still about eighty minutes of movie left.

Following the other dangling plot thread from “Extinction,” Alice tries to find Arcadia, the source of a phantom radio broadcast promising food and shelter and no zombies. Instead, Alice finds abandoned planes and helicopters and is attacked by a mind-controlled, amnesiac Claire Redfield (Ali Larter). In search of the other survivors, Alice and a subdued Claire fly south along the coast, looking for signs of life. The closest thing they find is a group of survivors holed up in a prison. Led by Luther (Boris Kodjoe), the group is attempting to escape to a tanker ship just off the coast promising food and shelter - the ship is named Arcadia. The bulk of the film follows the survivors’ escape attempt and becomes briefly interesting again during Alice and Claire’s fight with The Executioner (which features the most gimmicky yet fun 3D shot of the film - the monster’s massive axe/hammer flying toward the audience).

Tonally, the prison sequence is a drastic departure from the synths and bullets extravaganza that was the prologue, aiming for a tense survival horror feel that doesn’t mesh with the overall aesthetic of the series. The characters other than Luther and Chris Redfield (Wentworth Miller) are barely cardboard and are only present to pad the runtime with their inevitable deaths. “Afterlife,” much like the other films in the series, is a vanity vehicle for Jovovich, written and directed by her husband, and it wastes little time and less energy trying to make you care about anything that isn’t Alice.

Is there a plus side? Do the words “Ali Larter wet t-shirt gunfight” do anything for you? Otherwise, there are two competently shot, above-average action scenes, the Executioner’s design is neat, evoking a bit of a “Silent Hill” vibe, and Shawn Roberts as Wesker inhabits the video game role so completely that he manages to be laughable and oddly compelling simultaneously. This is the video game Wesker, with all of his terrible voiceover dialogue and implausible powers and if the rest of the movie was as self-aware as Roberts’ portrayal seems to be, it would have been glorious fun.

Unless you’re a die-hard fan of the movie series and need to see what happens next, save yourself the cost of a premium movie ticket and don’t believe in an “Afterlife,” even if it's in IMAX. If you do go, stay through the credits for the surprise return of a character that hasn’t been seen since “Resident Evil: Apocalypse.”

‘Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D’

By Jeannette Catsoulis

Eight years, three movies and now a third dimension have added little to the video-game-derived saga of Alice (Milla Jovovich), scourge of zombies and lust object of teenage boys. In “Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D,” our well-armed heroine is now on her fourth attempt to best the dastardly Umbrella Corporation and rescue remnants of spandex-clad humanity from the slobbering victims of the deadly T-Virus.

Opening in a Tokyo bunker and closing on a becalmed supertanker — with a brief detour to the Alaskan wilderness — “Afterlife” spends most of its running time in a Los Angeles prison surrounded by hordes of pustular flesh eaters. Hoping to locate the source of a mysterious rescue transmission, Alice and a small band of survivors — including a sexy basketball player (Boris Kodjoe) and a gimlet-eyed G.I. (Wentworth Miller, who must be sick of incarceration after four years on Fox’s “Prison Break”) — fight off the infected and finally head for the sewers. The script follows.

Written and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson (who has yet to encounter an idea he deems unworthy of repurposing), this witless installment features the usual ultra-slow-motion mayhem and helpful freeze-frames to allow us to admire the extra dimension. Fans will not be happy, however, to learn that Ms. Jovovich is more decently clothed this time around: when zombies disturbed her shower scene before she even had time to remove her machine-gun harness, the disappointment around me was palpable.

Cannibalizing John Carpenter’s “Thing” and much of the sci-fi-horror canon, “Afterlife” is more moribund than its thronging undead. “When I first got the script, I thought it was a practical joke,” Mr. Miller says in the film’s press notes. He’s probably not the only one.

“Resident Evil: Afterlife” is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). Memory-sucking scarabs, mutating pie-holes and zombie hounds.

RESIDENT EVIL: AFTERLIFE 3D

Written and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson; based on the Capcom video game; director of photography, Glen MacPherson; edited by Niven Howie; music by tomandandy; production designer, Arv Grewal; costumes by Denise Cronenberg; produced by Bernd Eichinger, Samuel Hadida, Don Carmody, Robert Kulzer, Jeremy Bolt and Mr. Anderson; released by Screen Gems.

Stemming from the most successful survival-horror game franchise, the film adaptations of Resident Evil has become one of the highest-grossing film franchises based on video games. The films follow the character Alice (Milla Jovovich) and stories created specifically for the films, with staple game characters appearing here and there.

Spanning nearly two decades, the Resident Evil movies vary in quality but the review site Rotten Tomatoes allows potential viewers to choose the best-received films to watch. What's the best Resident Evil movie? Looking simply at the scores, Rotten Tomatoes gives a very clear answer.

Updated on October 19th, 2022 by Mark Birrell: With the upcoming Resident Evil Re:Verse game enticing long-time fans of the franchise with the prospect of playing as their favorite characters from the series online, now is a great time to revisit the best Resident Evil movies to help rekindle that zombie passion before the game releases just in time for Halloween.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) – 19%

Available to stream on netflix.

The second film in the original run of live-action Resident Evil movies, Resident Evil: Apocalypse follows Alice as she awakens from a coma and attempts to escape the locked-down Raccoon City with Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory).

The writer and director of the original film, Paul W.S. Anderson, returned as a writer for this installment but was unable to take on the role of director due to his work on Alien vs. Predator . With a 19% score on the Tomatometer, many critics have the same opinion of the movie: it's just boring. The BBC called it "A zombie movie as dead-eyed and soulless as its walking dead villains."

Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010) – 21%

Available to rent or purchase on amazon prime video.

Anderson returned as writer-director of the fourth installment in the series, Resident Evil: Afterlife . Following Alice, as she once again tries to find a haven in the zombie-ridden world, this entry was filmed in 3D with the technology developed by James Cameron and Vince Pace for the 2009 film Avatar . Unfortunately, this movie didn't receive nearly as many good reviews as the sci-fi epic.

Standing at 21%, this Resident Evil movie had mixed reviews, with some calling it good B-movie fun and others commenting that it doesn't bring anything new to the franchise. For some, the movie barely made a mark in their mind. As The Last Thing I See put it, "As soon as I walked out of the theater it was completely gone from my consciousness."

Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) – 24%

Resident Evil: Extinction was the third installment of the original live-action Resident Evil movies. The introduction of clones and psychic dream powers brought some interesting new elements to the action of the film, but little else was done to make it stand out from its predecessors.

The film received mixed reviews, with some commenting on how the director Russell Mulcahy brought a new vision to the franchise. As one review puts it, "It blends the zombie and post-apocalyptic genres in a reasonably interesting way, and benefits from Mulcahy's well-rehearsed filmmaking style." Others weren't so impressed, with Gone With The Twins calling it "Ridiculous, nonsensical, and grossly unnecessary."

Resident Evil: Retribution (2012) – 28%

The fifth installment in the series, Resident Evil: Retribution saw the return of characters like Rain Ocampo (Michelle Rodriguez) from the first film, as well characters from the Resident Evil video games making their debut. Captured and interrogated by the Umbrella Corporation, Alice has to fight her way out with the help of her fellow survivors.

The movie was greeted with lukewarm reviews, with critics continuing to comment on the skin-tight outfits and over-the-top action sequences typical of the franchise. For all of its flaws, the film is still decently liked for its combat sequences and gore. Fanboys of The Universe said, "Sometimes you just need to turn off your brain and enjoy some good old-fashioned ultraviolence. Mmmm...brains..."

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021) – 30%

Available to stream on starz.

The most recent Resident Evil movie made a determined effort to take the live-action films back to basics and try to adapt the plots of the earlier games with characters that longtime fans would recognize. Though its critic score is essentially par for the course on Rotten Tomatoes, it's worth mentioning that Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City 's audience score on the site sits at a much more robust 65%, which is one of the highest of the franchise.

Reviews were mixed for the film and it was a modest box office success thanks to its focus on being less excessive than previous live-action Resident Evil movies, with many critics taking a much softer tone with this installment. In a review counted as "fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes, Peter Bradshaw wrote for The Guardian that Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City is "a reasonably entertaining, unpretentiously gory horror exercise, although clearly a bit distended with an excess of characters that need to be incorporated into the plot, many of whom feature in older RE lore."

Resident Evil (2002) – 35%

The original Resident Evil film was released in 2002, with fans of the video game series excited to see their favorite characters on the big screen. What they got, however, was brand new characters introduced to the world that the games established. Alice–a security operative for the Umbrella Corporation–has to escape an underground facility and the zombies chasing her.

Having little to do with the source material, the first film in the franchise saw poor reviews from disgruntled fans of the games but generally decent reviews from fans of shoot-em-up action films. Hogan Reviews calls it "firmly 'okay', it's a cheesy survival horror story with cliché characters that knows it's a cheesy survival horror story with cliché characters."

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016) – 37%

Available to stream on tubi.

2016 saw the release of Resident Evil: The Final Chapter . Anderson's goal with the film was to bring the story full circle, ending it in the same setting as the first film. Set back in the underground facility beneath Raccoon City, Alice must end the fight with the Red Queen (Ever Anderson), and save what remains of humanity.

Despite Anderson's desire to tie up loose ends and finish storylines, only four characters from the previous films returned for the final film, leaving many to wonder what happened to the characters fans didn't get to see and the plot itself failed to suck in critics. The Irish Times wrote: "The film comprises 20 percent boring plot talk and 80 percent even more boring action."

Resident Evil: Vendetta (2017) – 43%

Available to stream on youtube.

Written by Makoto Fukami and directed by Takanori Tsujimoto, Resident Evil: Vendetta is the third entry in the animated Resident Evil series . Bringing in staple characters such as Leon S. Kennedy (Toshiyuki Morikawa/Matthew Mercer) and Chris Redfield (Hiroki Touchi/Kevin Dorman), the movie takes place between the events of the sixth and seventh games.

Fans of the game series flocked to see the film, but reviews from critics were mixed. For some, the voice acting was flat, and the animation couldn't save the bland story. South China Morning Post says "the film's stilted dialogue, relentless exposition, and 'uncanny valley' animated performances prove far more unsettling than the virus-infected gouls lurking in the shadows." For others, however, the movie was a fun foray into the game's universe, with Lyles' Movie Files calling it "an amazingly intense and action-packed thrill ride."

Resident Evil: Degeneration (2008) – 67%

Released in 2008, Resident Evil: Degeneration was the first full-length CG animation film in the franchise and was met with decent reviews. Following Claire Redfield (Alyson Court) and Leon S. Kennedy (Paul Mercier) as they attempt to contain the outbreak of the deadly G-virus, fans were excited to see the pair reunited for the first time since the second game.

A far cry from the Anderson adaptations, this film received far better reviews than its live-action counterparts and ranks as the second-best Resident Evil movie on Rotten Tomatoes. According to Más Gamers , "It tells a story full of tension and blood that ends up being really faithful to the games." Although, some thought it felt more like an extended cut-scene than a movie. Regardless, it's puzzling why it took so long to come out with an animated film when the live-action ones were so different from the tone of the games.

Resident Evil: Damnation (2012) – 100%

Available to stream youtube.

Sitting at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes from 5 reviews, Resident Evil: Damnation is the sequel to Resident Evil: Degeneration , and a prequel to the sixth game. Released in 2012, the movie follows Leon S. Kennedy (Toshiyuki Morikawa/Matthew Mercer) as he tries to stop deadly bio-organic weapons from being used in a civil war.

Highly regarded by fans also as one of the best Resident Evil movies, IGN calls it "the best Resident Evil film to date." Others agree, with Lyle's Movie Files claiming that "If you're a fan of the series, this is finally the 'Resident Evil' experience you've been waiting on." Although, for those unfamiliar with the franchise, this might not be the best place to start as there's not much introduction given to the characters before jumping into the story.

Resident Evil: Afterlife - 3D

While still out to destroy the evil Umbrella Corporation, Alice joins a group of survivors who want to relocate to the mysterious but supposedly unharmed safe haven known only as Arcadia.

Storyline: Our Reviewer's Take

I have no problem admitting that I love the 'Resident Evil' film franchise , despite its flaws in every entry. It's odd, really, since I literally wanted to break the game discs in half every time I'd try to play them, but I'm not one of those fans who holds the movies up against the games and years worth of expectations. I see this series as a cutting edge sci-fi horror series, featuring my favorite horror creature, the undead, reanimated humans who now hunger for flesh. With the bipolar, yet still scary (to this day it gives me the creeps), claustrophobic original standing as the high note, a horrid misfire of a sequel with the least intimidating villain ever (seriously, Nemesis looks like a human-pug hybrid), a fun third entry that ended on such a bad note that I wrote the live action series off as being unrecoverable, and a CGI survival tale set early on in the outbreak, tying in some of the more popular video game characters, the 'Resident Evil' film franchise surely could have been retired. It would have been somewhat graceful, considering the difficulties that would surely arise due to the finale of 'Extinction,' where the special effects budget to make the twist believable in future volumes would have cost as much as the original did in its entirety.

I won't say that 'Resident Evil: Afterlife' pulled off the impossible and made a bad situation good...because it didn't. It is a 97 minute live action video game, complete with gimmicky effects, too many moments that felt like boss battles, and an ending that not even a mother could love, as it would rather blow the doors off for another inevitable sequel, rather than offer any sort of hope. By the time the twists and turns are over, viewers may leave wondering why this film blew its load too early, gave us the worst villain in the series, and forgot its own plot devices in lieu of convenience for the sake of some pretty sweet looking, though utterly unbelievable, special effects shots.

Four years after the Umbrella Corporation "accidentally" "unleashed" its deadly T-Virus on the world, creating a host of zombie-like creatures that soon overran any vestige of humanity, Alice (also known as Project Alice, or Milla Jovovich) and her *spoilers* clone army invade the underground Tokyo Umbrella headquarters, taking the fight to the company that destroyed the world, and is living without a care for its actions. Her target? Albert Wesker (Shawn Roberts), a fellow human injected with the T-Virus in order to become superhuman.

Soon after, Alice begins to search for signs of life, somewhere, anywhere, hoping that the rumored safe haven known as Arcadia is as safe and infection free as the emergency radio waves declare it to be. What she finds instead is a desperate group of souls who have locked themselves into a Los Angeles prison, surrounded by zombies, that are beginning to tunnel their way under those amazingly thick walls. With Claire Redfield (Ali Larter) and the mysterious Chris (Wentworth Miller) in tow, Alice is seeking to regain her humanity by ending the biggest threat to her kind.

'Resident Evil: Afterlife' isn't so much a bad film as it is one that requires brains to be turned off in order for any enjoyment to take place. It's a film that focuses so much on style above substance that it lacks the ability to bridge larger action sequences together, creating an experience that would have made for an amazing video game, but still a disappointing movie experience.

Without Jovovich, there would be no 'Resident Evil' film series, so it's nice to see the underrated female action star again kicking zombie ass and taking it to the man. However, it's lame that, after throwing her kit off so casually in the first few films, Alice is constantly surrounded by more clothes than the prison is by zombies. And let's just say that prison has itself an entire city's worth of zombies keeping it surrounded. We get teased with the allure of a shower scene, but it's quickly thrown away for an action sequence before we even get that nice, needed break from the constant negativity. Since when was this film series so above the simple exploitation of nudity? It's so full of random kills (that focus more on originality than practicality) that demand the most dedicated suspension of belief, and sequences that continue to offer that last ditch escape route, that I just found the sudden chastity to be a bit of a turn off, if you'd appreciate that irony.

The opening sequence in Japan had potential, but it's botched, as the overly-' Matrix '-y battle sequences (and they get even more 'Matrix'-y in the final battle, never you worry) with the army of fodder Alices failing to deliver any sense of connection to the character. We get so few words out of the head of the facility, our main baddie Wesker, that it just seems tacked on so the rest of the film has some sense of continuity with the segment. Worse yet, we see Alice have her superhuman powers stripped of her, yet later on in the film, she still has that amazing speed to easily dodge and weave her way through hordes and hordes of flesh eaters that have been chomping at the bit for months, if not years. She also has some damn amazing stamina, fighting off some of the bigger nasties she's had to face. Odd.

The prison sequence has to be the highlight of 'Afterlife,' despite its heavy flaws. Sure, the new survivors are annoying, and are most certainly just there so we can have some entertaining deaths, but we finally get to see the humans stay in place to try to fight, as 'Extinction' featured roving bands that failed to hit home. Being trapped in prison, with the danger on the outside, rather than the inside? That's one of the best ideas this series has had yet. Still, we get a botched handling in the way we meet the Chris character, and we get too little human drama, despite the way we are kept on our toes due to the increasing threat, particularly due to the appearance of the Axeman (referred to in the supplements as Executioner), a horrible mutant giant with a burlap sack covered head and the Biggest. Axe. Ever. That fight sequence has to be the pinnacle of the film, and yet, the film has a ton of time left. Uh oh. Arcadia. To progress without spoiling the plot points to the film is impossible, but needless to say, the final act of the film is the most heinously silly, over-the-top, stupid as sin mishmash of action sequences, trying to capture the great mysterious feeling of the opening of the Hive in the first film, and delivering foes that just don't give us reason to root for or against anyone. Everything feels like a foregone conclusion. There's no tension. The film is over, yet it drags on, pretending it still has something to show us.

Claire is handled as poorly as Chris, with the all-too-cliche convenient "amnesia" effects that wear off right when they need to, and Larter is far removed from the days when she was an entertaining, believable actress. She's just window dressing in this film, anyways, let's be frank. Everyone is window dressing in this film where Alice, and only Alice, is worth paying attention to. This is a film that has far too many "comin' at ya!" moments intended to take advantage of the 3D it was filmed with (which was, by far, the biggest hype this film had coming for it, as the trailer advertised its use of the ' Avatar ' camera system), to not be distracting and silly in 2D. It features instrumental music that's far from relevant or even remembered (A Perfect Circle? Isn't that side group about as forgotten as Zwan these days?!?), and cookie cutter cardboard cut out characters that fail to do anything but take up valuable screen time. This isn't the worst zombie film, or video game film. It's not even close. But it is still far removed from the original, too convoluted for its own sake, and it is only getting messier by the minute. If you haven't been keeping track with this series, this is not the one to start with, as it requires extensive knowledge of the previous entries to be even a quarter of the way coherent. It's just a big dumb compilation of big dumb action sequences. Keep an eye out for an early Biohazard reference, that being the name of the game series in Japan.

It still puts garbage like ' Resident Evil: Apocalypse ' to shame, though.

The Disc: Vital Stats

The 3D release of 'Resident Evil: Afterlife' arrives on a Region A/B/C BD50 Dual Layer disc, housed in a transparent eco-vortex case. Like other retail Sony Blu-ray 3D releases, the liner art inside the case helps create a quasi-3D effect that looks pretty damn nice, a bit better than those lenticular slipcovers.

This release contains both versions of the film, both 2D (playable in 2D players), and 3D. The menu matches whatever type of television/player combo the disc is being played on: 2D or 3D. There is no $5 off coupon for other Sony titles included in this version of 'Afterlife,' oddly enough.

I have to complain about the menu for this film, as it spoils a major plot point in the final act of the film. It made me see the sequence coming a mile away, ruined plenty of suspense, and made most of the film just a big stop before "getting there." Way to go, Sony. Way to spoil your own damn film.

Video Review

The Full HD 3D version of 'Resident Evil: Afterlife' is, in my opinion, the best looking Blu-ray 3D release available, either on shelves or in bundle sets. ' Avatar ,' good as it looks, just cannot compare to the technical prowess and constant 3D utilization that this film boasts from start to finish. The amount of miscues and goofs on this release is by far the least for a full length feature film in this new format, and it may take some time for any film, live action or animated, to one up this absolute beast of a release.

Colors retain their strength versus the 2D release, while detail levels are just as sharp as they were before. Textures are a bit improved, really, as countless walls and set pieces reach that point where they come as close to reaching photorealism as any film can. Black levels are amazingly rich, whites are clean, and shadow detail is strong, with nary a moment of real crush. Contrast is un-freaking-believable, and the wow factor from the constantly sharp, rich picture never seems to get old.

The 3D? Outstanding. Marvelous. Generic adjective expressing praise, you name it. I can't begin to express how frequent and seamless the 3D is on this release, as it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb, with sequences tacked on to get that awe factor. The entire film is that way (of course, that's easy when the film has so little substance, but that's besides the point!), from the moment the credits hit until the end credits roll. Even the most mundane of scenes, meant solely to piece together weak story points, are planned in a manner that give it some sort of visual pop, as even the silly exposition in the opening raid can be ignored by staring off into space in the underground Umbrella facility. The burning city of Los Angeles is an absolute sight to behold, while the first moments of the boat landing are absolutely astonishing and so sharp and deep they really do feel like real life playing out in front of you. Slow motion sequences, like those found in the shower fight scene or a few of the prison escape moments, are so layered they easily become instant demo material, even if retail stores cannot play the film to do such due to its content.

Depth is absolutely unrivaled, as this film, which was planned to be an immersive 3D experience, using the 'Avatar' camera system, doesn't ever disappoint, or bring a single flat shot into the mix. From the early sequence featuring Japanese Umbrella Corporation snipers, we know what kind of treat we're in for, as the shots, through the faux scopes, leap with intense realism that puts any 3D first person shooter (FPS) to shame. Reticles, as well as display icons (like those found on Alice's recorder) constantly leap forward from the picture, without distracting or feeling gimmicky.

As deep as the picture is (and in the infinite Arcadia corridors, deep doesn't begin to describe it), and as detailed as the backgrounds are, it seems almost secondary to one of the more silly aspects of 3D films, those moments where effects seem to come out of the screen towards the viewer. I'm not a fan of this type of effect, at all, but I couldn't help but get a gleeful kick out of every random moment and shot that was obviously planned for such an effect long in advance, as ninja stars, bullets, quarter-laden shotgun shells, and even the world's biggest hammer come crashing through the screen, retaining their detail and clarity rather than becoming a blur that's difficult to see like this effect creates on some other discs.

Please note, that while I do feel a five star video score is necessary on this release, it isn't perfect, as no Blu-ray 3D release to this point has been. Ghosting is not a major issue, at all, but there are a tiny, tiny handful of shots that have this problem, like one shot of the torches inside the prison, a few columns in Wesker's helicopter room, a single Alice clone, and the final shots of the Luther West character (not spoiling these moments by explaining their circumstances) all have fairly minor, but visible miscues (as does the opening credits Constantin logo, but that I absolutely will look past). There are a few moments where edges feel a tiny bit jaggy, particularly on the Umbrella logo in the opening raid, but they're very few and far between. Banding is not a frequent issue, but in the underwater sequence, which has odd lighting to begin with, some bands seemed inevitable, and they're thick, though brief.

Take all that as a hint. We're talking about a jaw-dropping 3D experience, easily the new standard bearer for this relatively new format. The positives outweigh the few negatives dramatically. Throw in the fact that this release has the 2D version of the film to boot, there's no real reason, other than store availability, that any other version of 'Resident Evil: Afterlife' should be considered. If you have a 3DTV and don't have this Blu-ray 3D release, I feel confident in saying you just wasted a few thousand bucks.

Audio Review

The audio for the 3D release of 'Resident Evil: Afterlife' mirrors the 2D edition in most ways, so let's let what was already said do the talking for me:

The movie may not have a point. The video may have its flaws. But damn if the audio isn't wall to wall awesome. If you aren't impressed by this DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix, then you're dead to me. Maybe undead.

This one is worth more than the sum of all parts. It's an immersive experience, that pulls you into the experience so accurately and frequently that it helps the shortcomings of the film become less of a concern, as you wait for the mind-numbingly ridiculous action sequences to go above and beyond what they already have, in a film that constantly tries to raise its own bar. The soundtrack separates through the channels throughout the entire film, and despite its bravado at some points, never drowns out the rest of the goods. Of course, usually spiked soundtrack volume is accompanied by an exponential rise in the amount of firepower in use, but it all mixes together brilliantly. Dialogue is sharp and accurate, though occasionally a tad unnatural (due to some probable ADR work), despite otherwise amazing room dynamics. Rears get more movement and localization in this film, per capita, than any other film I've heard. It's damn near constant, and literally stunning. The undead horde outside the prison sequence literally fill the room with the sound of a half-a-mile wide army groaning with the hunger for fresh flesh. The film has an appropriate sense of weight, amazingly unchecked range, and one of the coolest sounding explosions in film history in the first act.

Amazing audio. Stupendous audio. Demo material, for sure. Much like the way this film was one of the biggest reasons I wanted a home 3D set up, after reading this review, I hope any homeowners without a high end surround set up realize that discs like 'Resident Evil: Afterlife' also make that a necessary splurge. This is one film experience that just cannot be told through the television speakers or an outdated last generation home theater in a box. Ever.

In an interesting note, the 2D release had a Portuguese lossless audio dub track, whereas this 3D version does not. Additionally, there are more European subtitle tracks this time around that weren't offered on the 2D release.

Special Features

Final thoughts.

Well, I can't say I feel any different about the film this third time viewing it in less than a month. In fact, I have more and more questions, and noticed more and more missed opportunities and curiosities (for example, where exactly does this roaming axe man come from, why did it take him so long to join his undead brethren, and why does it take so many headshots to kill this beasty? Doesn't that redefine the zombie rules just a tad?!). Still, the mindlessness can be explained due to the fact that certain depictions of zombies like to eat brains. That's my story on why this film lacks any semblance of intelligence, and I'm sticking with it.

This 3D release is the way to go. Yes, the 2D version can be had in a Steelbook at Wal-Mart, and numerous stores have the 2D version for a mere $20, including a $5 off coupon for other Sony Blu-ray titles. That's all well and good, but with a demo-worthy 3D video track, the same demo-worthy audio track, and a nice heaping of extras for just a few bucks more? Go this route, folks, even if you don't have a 3DTV just yet. You're going to have to rebuy this film when you do upgrade, since it looks that damn good, so why not just spend a few more bucks now to save even more money down the road?! Buy it. Don't rent. Don't borrow. Buy.

Despite the fact most games in the series stand alone, Resident Evil has maintained a strong sense of continuity and chronology since the PlayStation original. The average fan isn’t here for the story, but the fact of the matter is that Resident Evil is a decades-long franchise that stretches across multiple different mediums: from video games to books and even movies.

How Many Resident Evil Movies Are There?

Resident Evil movies have existed since the 2000s. But exactly how many has there been?

Unlike the live-action movies which are loose adaptations of the main games, Resident Evil’s animated films are firmly canon and often star Leon. Whether they’re any good is another matter entirely, but Resident Evil’s animated movies offer interesting insight into the franchise’s world that can’t be gleaned from just the games alone.

Updated on February 26, 2024, by Dennis Moiseyev: The animated CG Resident Evil movies are nothing but a zombie action romp featuring the beloved characters from the games with stories that don't take themselves too seriously and are canon as well. 2023's Death Island marks the latest in the lineup of CG outings, and there are plenty more that came before it, so if you don't know where to begin, look no further.

Additionally, this article was updated to include the list of voice actors and even more images that highlight the most important parts of each film.

7 Biohazard 4D-Executer (2000)

Before Resident Evil: Degeneration, there was one of the first animated entries into the Resident Evil universe in 2000. It's a short 19-minute animated feature called Biohazard 4D-Executer, with new characters outside the canon who go into Raccoon City on a search and rescue mission to recover Umbrella scientist Dr. Cameron.

Their search leads them to a warehouse where a T-Virus creature has the parasitic ability to attach its parts to other organisms and mimic their biology, almost like John Carpenter's The Thing . There's a cool first-person POV shot of a cockroach and some amazing animations and visuals for its time. And if you miss the series' traditional pure terror and survival horror roots, this is a good one to check out.

6 Biohazard 4: Incubate (2006)

Although the title sounds fancy and like it's a brand-new entry in the animated catalog of Resident Evil films, Biohazard 4: Incubate is merely one of the earliest official "video game movies" ever made. It cuts together certain cutscene sections and partial gameplay from Resident Evil 4 to make a complete 90-minute-long animation movie.

Resident Evil 4 Remake: All Main Characters And Their Voice Actors

The beloved characters are back in Resident Evil 4 Remake, but the voice actors are all new.

This was made to summarize the events of the original Resident Evil 4 game in a movie-type way and could serve as a good refresher before heading into the 2023 remake . The levels and cutscenes flow really well, and there are some excellent camera angles used for the gameplay sections.

5 Resident Evil: Degeneration (2008)

The first full-length feature animated movie in the series, Resident Evil: Degeneration, was released in 2008 and is set one year after the events of Resident Evil 4. Notably, Degeneration establishes Tricell as an in-world presence before Resident Evil 5, offering some context into Chris’ future plight in Africa. And there’s definitely a charm to seeing Leon and Claire together on-screen for the first time since the original Resident Evil 2 .

Degeneration is the most grounded of the animated movies, albeit Leon still gets so much action that any tension stemming from the zombie outbreak all but vanishes before the halfway point. Not helping matters is how poor the animation has held up, with character models simply not fit for human emotion. If nothing else, the references to Resident Evil 2 and 4 are enough to keep longtime fans engaged.

4 Resident Evil: Damnation (2012)

Taking place between the events of Resident Evil 5 and 6 while (slightly) setting up Leon’s campaign in the latter, Resident Evil: Damnation was released in 2012 and is marginally better than Degeneration. With a few years of technological improvements on hand, Damnation doesn’t suffer from the same stiff character movements and expressions that plagued Degeneration.

The action is far more engaging to watch and Damnation also manages to juggle a stronger cast, trading Claire for Ada and throwing Leon up against a host of new characters. It also features references to Resident Evil 2 , Resident Evil 4, and Resident Evil 5 that help flesh out their respective stories, and it’s an entertaining movie that uses its setting and virus enemies well.

3 Resident Evil: Vendetta (2017)

Released in 2017, Resident Evil: Vendetta is set between the events of Resident Evil 6 and Resident Evil 7 . While often referred to as a prequel to Resident Evil 7, the movie arguably features the least amount of build-up for its subsequent game. Along with bringing back Leon, Vendetta marks Chris Redfield’s debut appearance in the movies and Rebecca Chambers’ first appearance since Resident Evil 0, period.

Resident Evil Tyrants, Ranked By Design

We all love zombies, but Tyrants are one of the most gruesome and fun creatures in the Resident Evil series. We rank them in this list.

Arguably the movie’s greatest strength is having proper character arcs for its leads, and the interactions between Leon and Chris make Vendetta worth watching. Vendetta leans into where the animated movies shine the most: action, with its animations being some of the best yet.

2 Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness (2021)

Set between the events of Resident Evil 4 and 5, the episodic Infinite Darkness explores Leon's time working as a government agent along with following up on what Claire has been up to since Code Veronica/Degeneration. The Netflix series received quite a bit of pre-release hype, in large part due to Leon and Claire's remake actors reprising their roles, and the very premise for Infinite Darkness feels like a retread of Degeneration.

Infinite Darkness falls victim to the same problems and disappointments as the other Resident Evil films, if not even worse for the established character relationships. The miniseries notably ends with Leon and Claire parting ways on bad terms, killing their dynamic entirely . To make matters worse, Claire barely feels like a member of the supporting cast in Infinite Darkness, let alone the main character.

1 Resident Evil: Death Island (2023)

Resident Evil: Death Island takes place one year after the events of Vendetta and still doesn't fill in the blanks to the seventh game – Biohazard.

You have plenty of references and callbacks to previous installments like Resident Evil 2, 4, and 5. Jill Valentine is still reflecting on being under the control of Wesker, Dr. Taylor invokes the Harvardville Airport incident from Degeneration, Leon clears the aquatic Lickers in the sewers by shooting a gasoline canister to blow them up like the alligator boss in RE 2 and has a knife fight with Jill similar to the one with Krauser, and the team is slowly turning from the new virus form.

The main villain is Dylan Blake, still somehow one of the most chaotic and chilling antagonists with his constant tendency to put a gun to his head with one bullet in the chamber and play solo Russian Roulette. However, his motivations don't make any sense and ruin what would've been a compelling character.

Other than that and some cringe writing for the characters, especially Chris' dialogue and Leon saying things like "U.S. of A," or Jill keeping count of Lickers, there were many great moments between the cast, the best being when Chris and Leon confidently proclaim in unison: "We got Jill" as an affirmation that everything will be alright.

The pacing of the action scenes felt just right, and they were choreographed well with seamless animations (particularly the cell block sequence and the fight between Leon and Maria Gomez in the lab).

Overall, Death Island is Resident Evil's most memorable and entertaining film media in a long time, astronomically better than Infinite Darkness, Welcome to Raccoon City, or the 2022 live-action show. Dylan's boss form also proved immensely gigantic, fusing with a zombie shark to become something akin to Lady Dimitrescu's mutation from RE Village with feet the size of an elephant's.

Why Is Resident Evil Called Biohazard In Japan?

There is a reason why Capcom's iconic horror series has two names.

All Resident Evil Remakes ranked

C apcom has been remaking a few of their classics from the Resident Evil franchise since 2019. The games have been received well by fans for breathing new life into the survival horror gems from older generations using the RE engine. This engine has helped in remaking the older Resident Evil games for a younger fanbase.

There are rumors of the first Resident Evil being remade by Capcom in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Resident Evil franchise . While the title was remade in 2002 to critical acclaim, we might see another remake, but this time in the RE engine. Before that happens, we will rank all the Resident Evil Remakes that have been released from worst to best.

Note: This ranked list is subjective and reflects the author's opinions.

Resident Evil Remakes gave new fans a taste of nostalgia

4) resident evil 3 remake.

Resident Evil 3 Remake released in 2020 as a reimagining of the original Resident Evil 3: Nemesis from 1999. While the first game was a classic, the remake failed to live up to the expectations of fans. Not only did the remake leave out several sections from the original game, but it also didn't replace those sections with new content, which made the game shorter than the original.

Nemesis was portrayed as a mere scripted event rather than the menacing stalker enemy in the original game. His role as a pursuer of Jill Valentine is short-lived in the remake, disappointing many fans. Although the RE Engine greatly enhances the game's visuals and controls, the significant changes from the original version are off-putting for some fans.

3) Resident Evil Remake

The first Resident Evil that started it all received a remake back in 2002. The developers updated the graphics and applied modern controls to it. This remake was originally released exclusively for the Nintendo Gamecube, which is why the game did not sell as well as it should have. A few years later, the Resident Evil Remake was ported to other consoles as well but the damage was already done.

While the controls for the game were impressive at the time, they don't hold up too well by today's standards. This remake improved on the original by adding more gravitas to the dialogues and storyline, without disrespecting the legacy of the original. Resident Evil Remake also added new sections to the game and improved upon the existing ones by making the environment creepier.

2) Resident Evil 2 Remake

Resident Evil 2 Remake, released in 2019, was called a masterpiece at the time. The game was received extremely well for remaking the classic from 1998. It not only improved the original visually, but it also changed the camera perspective from fixed camera to third person. Long gone are pre-rendered backgrounds, as Resident Evil 2 Remake used fully 3D environments.

While the atmosphere and horror of the remake are appreciated for being improved since the release of the original, some die-hard fans still prefer the original. Resident Evil 2 Remake breathes new life into Mr. X, as he stomps around the Racoon Police Department, pursuing you relentlessly. While the game is fun to play, people often complain that the B scenarios of both Claire and Leon seemed more of an afterthought.

1) Resident Evil 4 Remake

People were skeptical when the remake of Resident Evil 4 was announced. Fans had their doubts thinking Capcom might mess this up after the failure of Resident Evil 3. Fortunately, Capcom proved everyone wrong by making the Resident Evil 4 Remake just as great as the original. Not only does the title improve on the original, it adds more to make the game feel immersive.

This remake keeps the original storyline intact by improving dialogues and giving justice and more screen time to characters like Luis Sera. A new parry system and crouch mechanic are also introduced, which adds to the gameplay. Separate Ways and Mercenaries mode was also released as DLC for the game. Resident Evil 4 Remake is a masterpiece just like the original was.

Resident Evil: Retribution Reviews

resident evil 3d movie review

The degree to which this fast-food movie and its predecessors are completely forgettable is counteracted by Anderson’s usual clip-show recaps at the beginning of each new sequel.

Long running franchises tend to suffer from the same ailment -- the latter installments eventually lose sight of the better aspects of the series.

Paul W.S. Anderson makes lively, unpretentious mid-budget genre movies fixated on video-gamey "cool" and distinguished by their leanness and their inventive-and sometimes even poetic-use of space.

It's a funny thing about Jovovich as Alice: she gives the character just enough personality, but not enough to break the somber apocalyptic mood.

"Retribution" has actually got some very decent action and 3D effects. The story is still razor-thin. But, by the end of it all, I was ready for the next sequel, the presumed finale.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Oct 8, 2012

resident evil 3d movie review

For those of us who know what we're in for with the series, the fifth installment is for better or worse, more of the same - albeit with the familiar levels of ridiculousness from its maddeningly inconsistent director/writer

You can put as much gloss on top of the shaky foundations and wooden acting as possible but as soon becomes apparent - you can't varnish a turd.

‘Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery’ Comes to Netflix in 2025

' src=

Rian Johnson’s hit Knives Out Universe expands with a third movie next year, and we’ve learned this morning it’s officially titled Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery .

Additionally, we’ve learned that Daniel Craig will be back as Benoit Blanc, the character he first played in Knives Out and then later sequel Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery .

Wake Up Dead Man is coming to Netflix in 2025. Rian Johnson is back to write and direct, and the film is said to unfold “Benoit Blanc’s most dangerous case yet.”

Rian Johnson tweets, “I love everything about whodunnits, but one of the things I love most is how malleable the genre is. There’s a whole tonal spectrum from Carr to Christie, and getting to explore that range is one of the most exciting things about making Benoit Blanc movies.

“We’re about to go into production on the 3rd one, and I’m very, very excited to share the title, which gives a little hint of where it’s going,” Johnson’s tweet this morning continues.

Watch the title reveal video for Wake Up Dead Man below and expect more soon.

Knives Out  was a massive hit for Lionsgate in 2019, pulling in over $300 million worldwide at the box office. Glass Onion arrived in 2022, first in limited theaters and then on Netflix.

Leon is the lead for Resident Evil 9 claims rumour as Resident Evil 1 remake leaked

Share this with

Resident Evil 1 HD remaster

Multiple sources claim a new remake of the original Resident Evil is underway but there’s confusion as to how far along Resident Evil 9 is.

Back in February, it was rumoured that there are five new Resident Evil games currently in development, but apart from the inevitable Resident Evil 9 it’s never been clear what any of them are.

The most prolific Resident Evil leaker is AestheticGamer, aka Dusk Golem, who recently claimed that Resident Evil 9 could be out as early as January 2025 . But he now claims that information may be outdated and that the game is going to take longer than that.

At the same time, two different leakers claim that one of the other four games is a remake of the original Resident Evil, that Capcom is currently preparing for a 2026 launch.

Capcom has previously indicated that they want to do more remakes, but it’s never been clear what games they could be, since they’ve already skipped past Code: Veronica and it’s doubtful many fans are interested in seeing Resident Evil 5 or 6 again.

The current series of remakes began with Resident Evil 2, because the first game had already been remade in 2002 for the GameCube and then remastered for more modern consoles.

It’s always been assumed that there would be a new remake at some point though and DanielRPK , who is best known for his movie leaks, claims that it is now in development and aiming for the series’ 30th anniversary in 2026.

A lot of publishers missed important anniversaries during the pandemic, including Capcom with Resident Evil’s 25th, so this would certainly make sense.

As for Resident Evil 9, Dusk Golem admits that his previous information about the game was based on information that may now be over three years out of date. He insists that the game was supposed to be based in a rural town on a fictional island in South East Asia, but that he cannot confirm that is still the case.

He is adamant that the game is still set to be revealed this summer, but beyond that he says that he has no up-to-date information.

At the same time, a new source named PRE_Alarabiya has suggested that the South East Asian setting is still accurate and that the protagonist will be Leon S. Kennedy, who hasn’t had a game to himself since Resident Evil 4.

The same source also claims that there is a Resident Evil 1 remake in development, although there’s no indication from anyone as to when that might be unveiled.

A Super Mario 64 mod may be as close as we ever get to Mario Maker 3D

You can use mario builder 64 to create and share levels with ease..

Super Mario Maker   and its sequel are terrific games that let fans create and share their own Mario levels with ease. But it was a bit of a disappointment that Nintendo only factored in the 2D Mario games. None of the plumber's 3D incarnations have made it to a Mario Maker title to date. So thank goodness for modders.

A pair of modders named Arthurtilly and Rovertronic have released an open-source Super Mario 64 mod that aims to make it a cinch for players to create and share their own levels. You'll need your own (legally obtained) Mario 64 game file and a separate piece of software to infuse the mod into it. It's even possible to use Mario Builder 64 on a Nintendo 64 if you have a supported flashcart .

You'll have more than 100 parts to build your levels with. The creation tool includes some custom parts from a previous mod, so you have extras like permanent powerups at your disposal. To share your creations and find those made by others, the recommended places to look are a website for Mario level modders and Rovertronic's Discord server .

It'll be interesting to see if ridiculous 3D kaizo-style levels start popping up, while the mod could allow speedrunners to create custom training grounds where they can practice strategies. Personally, I'm hoping for creators to build levels that rely on half-A presses to beat.
