Security, Safety, Shelter and Food
16 December 2010
After destroying the Umbrella Corporation's Headquarter in Tokyo, Alice (Milla Jovovich) heads to Arcadia, in Alaska, seeking for survivors and following the broadcast message that offers security, safety, shelter, food and no epidemics. However, the place has no one but Claire Redfield (Ali Larter) that wears a strange device on her chest and has no recollections. Alice withdraws the electronic device and flies with Claire to Los Angeles, where she sees a group of survivors on the roof of a prison asking for help and under siege of the undead. They land on the roof and they learn with their leader Luther West (Boris Kodjoe) that Arcadia is actually a ship anchored nearby the harbor that has stopped broadcasting the message a couple of days before. Alice and Claire team up with the survivors and they decide to move to the vessel since the crowd of zombies is menacing their fortress. But first they release Claire's brother Chris Redfield (Wentworth Miller) that is imprisoned in a cell. But in their journey to Arcadia, they have to fight against the legion of undead and also against a treacherous survivor.

"Resident Evil: Afterlife" is a pleasant full of action adventure, with two lovely heroines performed by Milla Jovovich and Ali Larter and a cool good guy, Wentworth Miller, in his first feature after "Prison Break". Despite the gross continuity mistake when Alice is ready to take a bath and depending on the angle, the shower is spraying water or not, the film is highly entertaining and supported by a good story and great special effects. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Resident Evil 4: Recomeço" ("Resident Evil: Restart")
