3. Resident Evil: Afterlife

Resident Evil: Afterlife is one of my personal favorites from the franchise.

For starters, we finally see Claire Redfield actually look more similar to her video game persona red-haired and donning a red jacket. This movie offers so many incredible and iconic moments throughout. One of the moments that stood out the most for me was the fight scene featuring the towering axe-wielding zombie against Claire Redfield and Alice.

Shot in Anderson’s slo-mo style, the fight was just as awesome as it was ridiculous but keeps your eyes on the screen for every second of it. Anderson seems to really enjoy using slo-mo for many of his action sequences.

Sometimes they work great other times it does feel a bit repetitive and at times lazy. That and many other choices made here are so wild and ambitious that you gotta hand it to Anderson for taking us along for the ride and seeing his vision for his absurd version of the Resident Evil stories.

Afterlife may be hated on by many but I personally enjoyed the hell out of it. It’s far from perfect but it offers some amazing moments that have a high rewatch factor in my opinion.
