I love watching movies. It’s my favorite pastime. So out of ALL of the movies I’ve watched- which is my favorite? This is one answer I’ll never be able to give. There are movies that I can fully recite from memory, Twister, being one of them. But I’m not sure if that’s my favorite. I don’t know what my ultimate favorite is, but I do know what my favorite movie I’ve seen this past week. I figure that I watch so much television that I can post a weekly favorite movie [or show, whichever I feel like posting]. I recently went and saw Resident Evil: Afterlife in 3D, and I have to say, after being sucked into the franchise when the first movie came out, this one is by far my favorite of the foursome. It is by far the most entertaining movie I’ve seen for a while now… compared to the last disappointing movie I saw in theaters [Eat. Pray. Love.]. I easily get in the mood for an end-of-days movie, and my recent view of The Book of Eli didn’t quite curve my craving. Resident Evil: Afterlife, however, did just that. Milla Jovovich is one of my favorite actresses. She can do it all. From her action movies to serious thrillers. From The Fifth Element to The Fourth Kind and The Perfect Getaway she always captivates me.
In this flick, Jovovich returns as Alice, who was manufactured by the Umbrella Corporation to be the greatest military asset. The story resumes from the previous movie Extinction with returning casts like Ali Larter. After unexpectedly finding survivors atop a building in the destroyed L.A. metropolis, she attempts to rescue the people to a ship in which the team has been receiving safety broadcasts from. The story is simple. The movie is great. And the 3D affects are amazing. One spoiler though, the movie does have a cliffhanger. So I can only hope that they continue with another. According to Associated Press, this 4th installment has grossed more than the other three movies combined, so hopefully that will bring light to a fifth movie. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
