stillsostrangeResident Evil: Afterlife
In the greater scheme of REs, this was not quite as godawful as the first one, but nowhere as good as Apocalypse or Extinction. And I think you understand the values of "good" I'm using here.
This movie raised so many questions I know I will never have answers for: Where does the makeup come from? How did Ali Larter contract the alarming pore-removal filter that Milla had in Extinction? Where the hell did the Executioner get his boots? But most importantly, who the hell told Shawn Roberts* to act like Agent Smith? Who told him he could? That was the most embarrassing piece of cinema I've seen in some time. Everyone watching him was embarrassed. Somewhere out there, Hugo Weaving is embarrassed and he doesn't know why.
I was rather furious when Luther appeared to be dead, and had composed most of a scathing post that mostly amounted to "Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you." But hey, not dead. But yanno, the fact that every other named non-white character died? Not cool, Paul Anderson, not cool at all.
*The high moment of his career appears to be falling into a coma after kissing Anna Paquin in the first X-Men.
