Amazon.co.uk Review
A barrage of 3-D effects enlivens Paul W.S. Anderson's Resident Evil: Afterlife, the fourth entry in the seemingly endless action-science fiction horror franchise based on the popular Capcom video game series. Plot, dialogue, and character development all remain secondary considerations; what's key here are the set pieces that allow Milla Jovovich to unleash maximum damage to virally infected zombies, villainous henchmen, and just about anyone else who stands in the way of her stopping the shadowy Umbrella Corporation. Jovovich retains the blend of grit and pulchritude that have made her a fanboy favourite (though said viewers may decry the film's bit of shower-scene interruptus), and she's well supported by returning cast members Ali Larter and Boris Kodjoe (Undercovers) and Prison Break's Wentworth Miller, who, as Claire's brother, is back behind bars in a postapocalyptic jail overrun by plague zombies. And the 3-D effects are impressive and give a shot of adrenaline to the already hyper-driven action and CGI elements. Those looking for more than what the Resident Evil franchise is designed to provide--souped-up, B-movie thrills--are advised to lower their expectations; franchise devotees should be pleased, especially by the film's final scene, which (naturally) sets up another sequel. --Paul Gaita

Format:Blu-ray
Thought it would be worth leaving a review to say I've just tested this 3D disc on my PS3 connected to standard 2D HDTV and it works perfectly fine, including all features. Picture and sound are lovely too :)

Firstly, id like to say that this movie has both a 2D and 3D option on the main menu. Im also not reviewing the movie as thats what IMDB is for: [...]
Now the movie itself was shot in 3D so takes full advantage of the technology. Without giving too much away, i would say that nearly all of the movie is shot so that your looking in to give it depth (i forget the techno jargon for that as opposed to things flying out at you), which i like, as (funnily enough) it adds another dimension to the movie! It also doesnt give you any headaches, or doesnt give me any, as your eyes arent working as hard to recognise things flying out at you.
I dont want to spoil the movie, so i wont, but their are a number of scenes where there are lots of zombies on the screen and the depth is amazing. One of my favourite scenes is at the beginning in a corridor....the 3D effect looks awesome.
Anyway, highly recommended to showcase your shiny new TV!!

In Resident Evil Afterlife we continue the revenge of Alice against the evil bio-weapon manufacturer The Umbrella Corporation. A company whose accident has turned most all of the worlds population into zombies. As Alice notes in the prologue - the T-Virus took hold and killed the world - only it didn't stay dead. The films short 97 minutes see Alice travel to Tokyo, Alaska and Los Angeles - and despite the lack of budget the apocalypse looks pretty good.
Shot with the James Cameron Fusion Camera system we find that they have been used to good effect. Thankfully they producers avoided the temptation to poke you in the eye (mostly.) A lot of the time you don't notice anything special the film just has more depth. In the action though they have clearly taken care and in 3d they look especially good. In the tried and tested way of summer blockbusters there is little in the way of plot; beyond trying to destroy what remains of Umbrella; so the film relies on the action to carry the plot forward. Its lightweight and but sometimes that is all you need for entertainment; though Zombieland is still my favorite of the genre.
The Blu Ray comes with a fair selection of bonus features with the directors commentary being particularly interesting and there are the usual making of's and outtakes features. There is also a very early trailer for the next CGI Film Resident Evil: Damnation. Its the Best 3d blu-ray I have seen; and second only to avatar in terms of its presentation.

Goood picture and sound quality
A must have 3D movie with full of action and thriller. Fantastic sound for this kind of action movie and off course good quality 3D production.

Incomprehensible
Story: It lurches drunkenly and inexplicably from one rip off set piece to another - mainly awful Matrix rip-offs, before ending in the middle of the story. It's just awful. Read more
