Resident Evil: Afterlife is a 2010 3D science-fiction action film written and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson, and starring Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter, Kim Coates, Shawn Roberts, Spencer Locke, Boris Kodjoe, and Wentworth Miller. It is the fourth installment in a series of film adaptations based loosely on Capcom's survival horror video game series Resident Evil. It is also the first film in the series to be released in 3D. In the film Alice searches for and rescues remaining survivors in Los Angeles of the T-virus outbreak, who team up against Albert Wesker, the head of the Umbrella Corporation.

In May 2005, producers mentioned the possibility of following Resident Evil: Extinction with a sequel titled Afterlife. Extinction was released in 2007 and was a box office success prompting Afterlife to begin development in June 2008, with the script being written by Anderson that December. Elements from the video game Resident Evil 5 were incorporated into the film.

Chris Redfield, a primary character from the video games was featured for the first time in the film franchise. Other characters from the games and films who return are: Claire Redfield, Albert Wesker, and Jill Valentine. Filming took place in Toronto from September to December 2009 using James Cameron's 3D Fusion Camera System. The film was released in 3D and IMAX 3-D theaters on September 10, 2010.

Plot

After the events of Resident Evil: Extinction, the Alice clones (Milla Jovovich) attempt to kill Albert Wesker (Shawn Roberts) at his base in Tokyo. All present clones are killed by a purge bomb, activated by Wesker as he escapes the facility in a tiltrotor aircraft. The original Alice ambushes him, but Wesker injects her with a serum that neutralizes the T-virus in her system, eliminating her superhuman powers and making her human again. He reveals that his T-Virus powers have surpassed her own, but before he can kill her, the aircraft crashes and Alice escapes from the wreckage.

Six months later, Alice has commandeered a two-seater civilian propellor plane with which to follow repeating emergency broadcasts from a survivors' safe haven known as "Arcadia" in Alaska. Alice hopes to find her friends Claire Redfield (Ali Larter), K-Mart (Spencer Locke) and others who escaped from Las Vegas with her in the previous film, but has yet to find any sign of human life in her travels. At Arcadia, she discovers the helicopter the escape party used, and is then attacked by a crazed Claire, controlled by an Umbrella Corporation device attached to her chest. Alice removes the device; as Claire recovers, it becomes clear that it has damaged Claire's memory.

The two fly to the ruins of Los Angeles and find a small group of survivors living in a maximum security prison, surrounded by the undead. Luther West (Boris Kodjoe), a former basketball star and celebrity, leads the small band: Wendell (Fulvio Cecere), aspiring actress Crystal Waters (Kacey Barnfield), film producer Bennett (Kim Coates) and his intern Kim Yong (Norman Yeung), and Italian expatriate Angel Ortiz (Sergio Peris-Mencheta). With their help, Alice crash-lands her plane on the roof of the prison and learns that Arcadia is not a fixed place but actually a cargo tanker traveling along the coast. Instead of making repeated (and probably fatal) attempts to fly her new friends to it one by one, Alice and the survivors decide to find an alternate means to make it to the Arcadia. This route takes the form of a prisoner, Claire's brother Chris (Wentworth Miller), who was found locked in a maximum-security cell. He says that he is a soldier who fought the early outbreak, but was locked up by prisoners as a cruel joke when the mission failed. He also claims that he knows a way to escape the facility, but will not reveal it unless he is released.

The issue is forced with the advent of "Majini" zombies, who tunnel into the prison via the sewers and kill Wendell, and "The Executioner," a giant axe-wielding monster who begins to break down the front gate. He recognizes Claire and reveals himself as her brother, but she does not remember him. The group splits into three teams: Alice, Chris and Crystal raid a hidden arsenal for firearms, resulting in the latter's death; Luther and Claire attempt to reinforce the gate against The Executioner; and Bennett, Angel and Kim Yong break out a hidden armoured fighting vehicle, Chris' proposed escape route. Unfortunately, its engine was removed for maintenance; when Bennett discovers this, he shoots Angel, commandeers Alice's aircraft, and manages to escape to the Arcadia. The remaining quintet are forced to escape down the sewers opened by Majini tunneling; as they enter, Kim Yong is killed by the Executioner, whom Alice and Claire manage to defeat. Finally, the group reaches the actual sewers, only to lose Luther to a cave-in.

Alice and the Redfields commandeer a boat and board the Arcadia, finding it functional but abandoned, even though the manifest lists more than 2000 survivors on board. As they explore its holds, Claire recalls what happened to her group when they arrived in Alaska: Umbrella ambushed their group when they landed on the beach and attached the devices to them, with only Claire managing to escape. She concludes that the ship is a trap, meant to lure survivors in for further experimentation. The trio begin releasing survivors, among them K-Mart, while Alice discovers a blood trail and continues deeper into the ship, finding more of the tiltrotor aircraft and purge bombs used in Tokyo. She also finds Wesker, who explains that the T-virus gave him incredible powers, but that he is constantly at war with the T-virus for control. In order to pacify it, Wesker regularly ate fresh human DNA, scaring the Umbrella employees into deserting the ship. He hopes to gain control of the virus by eating Alice, the only individual to bond successfully with the T-virus on a cellular level.

Chris and Claire arrive and attack Wesker while Alice battles two dogs and Bennett. The super-powered Wesker easily overpowers Chris and Claire, but Alice is able to defeat him with a little help from the restored K-Mart. Wesker regenerates and escapes by air, activating the purge bomb on the Arcadia in an attempt to destroy the ship and kill the remaining survivors... but, anticipating these actions, Alice had hidden the bomb aboard his plane, which explodes as everyone watches from the deck of the ship. Unknown to the heroes, a figure parachutes away from the explosion unnoticed, while Luther emerges from the sewers, battered but alive.

Alice resolves to turn Arcadia into a real safe haven and broadcasts its message for any other survivors. As Claire, Chris, and Alice decide how to proceed, they see an approaching Umbrella assault helicopter squadron led by Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory), who is under the control of the same Umbrella device used on Claire.

Cast

  • Milla Jovovich as Alice: A former Umbrella Corporation security officer whose exposure to the T-Virus granted her superhuman abilities. Since her escape from Raccoon City, she has been hunted by Umbrella, who intends to use her DNA in order to control the virus' mutation. Alice seeks to "settle her score" with Umbrella and its elusive chairman, Albert Wesker.[5][6]
  • Ali Larter as Claire Redfield: Chris' younger sister. She led a convoy of survivors who encountered Alice in the previous film. In Afterlife, Claire mysteriously finds herself alone in the woods and suffering from amnesia.[7]
  • Wentworth Miller as Chris Redfield: Claire's older brother. He is working with an unnamed military organization combating the infected. Chris and his unit were using a Los Angeles prison as a base of operations, before it was overrun and he was imprisoned.[8] When Miller first read the script he thought the association to Prison Break was a practical joke, with his imprisonment and his first line being, "I know a way out of here" but later came to see it as a chance to take the character to a different ending.[9]
  • Shawn Roberts as Albert Wesker: The Chairman of the Umbrella Corporation. He has been tracking Alice in order to discover means by which the T-Virus mutation can be controlled. His office is located in Tokyo, Japan, and he communicates with the company's other branches using holographic technology. Similar to his video game counterpart, Wesker possesses superhuman strength, speed, and regenerative capabilities.[8]
  • Spencer Locke as K-Mart: Named after the department store she was discovered hiding in, K-Mart was a member of Claire Redfield's convoy of survivors in the previous film.[8]
  • Boris Kodjoe as Luther West: A former professional basketball player and the leader of the survivors of Los Angeles. Kodjoe trained for six weeks to perform his own stunts. He dislocated his knee in the course of filming while trying to kick in a gate.[10]
  • Kim Coates as Bennett: A big-shot film producer who is strongly disliked by the group.
  • Kacey Barnfield as Crystal: A junior champ in swimming in her high school days. She came to Los Angeles to work as an actress.
  • Norman Yeung as Kim Yong: Bennet's former intern before the virus outbreak.
  • Sergio Peris-Mencheta as Angel Ortiz: A former military operations soldier.
  • Sienna Guillory as Jill Valentine: A former STARS operative who assisted Alice and escaped Raccoon City in Resident Evil: Apocalypse. Guillory, who portrayed the character in Apocalypse, reprises her role in the film.[11] She features briefly in a scene shown during the credits, setting up a potential sequel.
  • Ray Olubowale as The Executioner: A monster taken from the game Resident Evil 5.[12]

Production

Development

In May 2005, producers mentioned the possibility of following Extinction with a sequel entitled Afterlife, to be shot and set in Tokyo, Japan and Alaska.[13] Despite Resident Evil: Extinction being billed on the official website and elsewhere as the final installment of the Resident Evil film series; on September 23, 2007, Rory Bruer, Sony's head of distribution explained, "It absolutely would not surprise me considering the success of the franchise that they find a way to come up with another. It's a real possibility".[14] Producer Jeremy Bolt also stated that while there was no intention of making a fourth film, that the third had been particularly well done and that Paul Anderson was talking with Sony about the possibility.[15]

In June 2008, Anderson noted that negotiations were underway with Sony for creating the film.[16] In December 2008, Anderson stated that he was working on the script.[17] The following year, it was announced that Sony was aiming to release Resident Evil: Afterlife by August 27, 2010.[18]

Casting and characters

Milla Jovovich speaking at WonderCon 2010 about the film.

In October 2007, reports indicated that casting for the fourth film had begun, with Jensen Ackles being considered for the role of Leon S. Kennedy.[19] Ali Larter confirmed that she would reprise her role "100% if asked".[20] At the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con, Jovovich confirmed that she would return in the lead role, and noted that the clones from Extinction would also be returning.[21] On September 22, 2009, it was announced that Ali Larter would indeed reprise her role as Claire Redfield,[7] and on September 30, 2009, it was announced that Shawn Roberts would replace Jason O'Mara for the part of Albert Wesker, with Wentworth Miller joining as Chris Redfield, and Spencer Locke returning as K-Mart. Kim Coates, Kacey Barnfield, and Boris Kodjoe were also cast.[8] In an interview with FEARnet, Roberts spoke about his character saying, "Chairman of the Umbrella Corporation. He is in a position of power. He pretty much runs the world, and Alice is an annoyance. It's a whole process: I get to set and wardrobe gives me this big, long black jacket, and props comes over and gives me the dark glasses and the gloves. By the time you are all dressed you stand a little straighter, you walk a little differently. He's got everything going for him—he's super fast, super strong, has the ability to regenerate—it's all the elements from the game. That was one thing we all agreed on from the start: this character has to be for the fans."[22]

The infected dobermans from the games and previous films return, but are more advanced. Producer Jeremy Bolt explains said it would be a combination of real dobermans and computer effects. In keeping with the game, Resident Evil 5 the dogs jaws flare open, with tentacles coming out of their mouths.[23][24] Other creatures borrowed from the fifth video game are the "Majini" and "The Executioner".[25][26] He explained that the other undead creatures have become more intelligent and will have mandibles and tentacles coming out of their mouths.[23]

Filming

With a budget of $60 million,[27] principal photography began on September 29, 2009, in Toronto, Canada,[28][29] and wrapped in December 2009.[30] Roberts began filming his scenes on October 10, 2009 and finished in about ten weeks.[22] Anderson used James Cameron's Fusion Camera System, or more specifically a Sony F35 camera.[31] Visual effects production manager Eric Roberston described the look of the film, "interesting contrasts, pure whites, which is a staggering look. It's so clean and tight along with some real darkness too that may evoke a bit of a feel of Silent Hill. So we've got the extremes, but it's definitely a unique look for this incarnation and it's been fun to see those looks".[25] The added size and weight of the 3D cameras meant the filmmakers were not able to use existing equipment such as Steadicam rigs. Instead the camera operator worked on Segway to achieve the look of a Steadicam shot.[32]

Release

In August 2009 it was announced that the film would be released on August 27, 2010,[33] but in December it was set back to January 14, 2011.[34] In January 2010, it was announced that the release date was moved again, this time to September 10, 2010.[35] The first 3-D trailer was shown to a limited number of WonderCon 2010 attendees at Metreon in San Francisco, on April 2, followed by a non-3D version on April 3.[36][37][dead link] The first teaser trailer was released on April 3, 2010 by MySpace in the Film Trailer Park.[38] Paul W.S. Anderson narrated and presented his teaser trailer on April 4 at San Francisco WonderCon 2010.[39] Theaters ran the teaser trailer as part of the premiere release of A Nightmare on Elm Street, on April 30, 2010.[40] The film also runs in IMAX theaters.[41]

Box office

Resident Evil: Afterlife opened in 2,904 theaters in the United States—2,203 being 3D-equipped—along with 141 IMAX openings. It opened in additional 250 theaters in Canada.[42] The film opened at number one and took in $10,738,962—$3,353 per theater on its opening day and $26,650,264—$8,320 per theater on its opening weekend.[43][44]

The film has grossed $60,128,566 in the United States and Canada, and $233,985,429 in international markets for a worldwide total of $294,113,995.[4] becoming the highest-grossing film of the series.[45] The higher gross was attributed to the ticket price inflation of the 3D presentation, and the film had the lowest opening weekend attendance of the series.[46] On November 23, Resident Evil: Afterlife became the most successful production in Canadian feature film history.[47]

Reception

Resident Evil: Afterlife was not screened for critics.[48] The film received mostly negative reviews from critics. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 25% based on 84 reviews, with a rating average of 4.1 out of 10.[49] From Rotten Tomatoes' selected top critics, the film received a score of 33%, based on sample of 9 reviews.[50] Metacritic, which assigns a normalized score out of 100 reviews from film critics, has a rating score of 37% based on 14 reviews.[51]

Phelim O'Neill of The Guardian gave the film two stars out of five praising the use of 3D, while stating that The Resident Evil film series "always look good and have well-staged action, but they don't have one iota of originality or imagination".[52] Jeannette Catsoulis of The New York Times gave the film a negative review, saying "Cannibalizing John Carpenter’s Thing and much of the sci-fi-horror canon, Afterlife is more moribund than its thronging undead.[53] David Edwards of the Daily Mirror gave a negative review of the film, comparing it to Resident Evil: Extinction stating that the "results are even less impressive, which is saying quite something" and "only fans of the series will care with the film looking suspiciously like a series of barely connected action scenes and unimpressive 3D welded to a who-the-hell-cares? plot."[54] A particularly scathing review came from Brian Orndorf of Dark Horizons, who said it was "[p]erhaps the first 3D motion picture to simulate the experience of watching paint dry, 'Resident Evil: Afterlife' is a dreadful bore that only occasionally comes to life. Even then, it’s still a tedious mess of half-realized ideas, guided by a filmmaker who really shouldn’t be allowed to make movies in the first place."[55]

Home media

Resident Evil: Afterlife was released on DVD, Blu-ray, and Blu-ray 3D 28 December 2010. Special features on the DVD will include a filmmaker commentary and 2 featurettes ("Band of Survivors: Casting Afterlife", "Fighting Back: The Action of Afterlife"). The Blu-ray releases will include that, along with deleted and extended scenes, additional featurettes ("Back Under the Umbrella: Directing Afterlife", "Undead Dimension: Resident Evil in 3D", "Vision of the Apocalypse: The Design of Afterlife", "New Blood: The Undead of Afterlife", "Pawning the Undead: Gamers of the Afterlife"), and outtakes.[56]

Sequel

At the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con International, Anderson and Jeremy Bolt told ShockTilYouDrop.com that a fifth Resident Evil film would be possible, saying: "We always take it one movie at a time. We put so much effort into them and it is a family affair. It is all about making the best possible movie now and then promoting well and getting it out there. Making sure it is seen in the right way. When the dust settles then you think about something else. For us, it is not a business, it is a passion. You don't want to start talking about the next baby until you make sure this one is okay."

Jovovich told New York Magazine that Anderson had started work on a sequel. She explained, "We've been talking to a lot of fans on Twitter and stuff, so it's probably going to be one of the first movies where we really talk to fans to see what they want, and what characters they want to see. It's going to be a more interactive process."[57]
