Resident Evil Afterlife Movie Review - The Matrix: Decomposed
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- The 4th movie in the Paul W.S. Anderson Resident Evil film franchise, Resident Evil: Afterlife directly follows Resident Evil: Extinction... by cleaning up the sequel bait as fast as possible, and massively course correcting on that power creep that's been going on in the series so far.
So it's practically a completely unrelated movie at this point, spare that it does follow the survivor's tale from Extinction. Sort of. The nature of the destination is warped to the point where details about it from the previous movie don't make sense anymore, but it's still... kinda there?

Having Clair win the fight against the axe guy but only letting Alice finish him is the Resident Evil version of "You are on this council… but we do not grant you the rank of master."
Well duh. No one else is allowed to be competent around the Mary Sue.
At least they gave her that moment. Do you remember how bad Jill was treated in the RE2 movie?
@@schibleh531 I know, right? I heard her actress even went out and bought a game console and a copy of the game just so she could study and replicate her character. So much effort, gone to waste.
Side note: my favorite line from her was, when meeting Alice, "Who the f*ck are you?" She was saying what we were all thinking. 😆
@@thegreatstoneddragon9432It's insane after all this time, they still haven't made a good Resident Evil movie.
@@neonicon8500The computer animated films aren't terrible.
"Gotta hand it to Umbrella: They always have the best tunes for their underground secret labs."
Their entire safety budget went into their soundtrack.
# Priorities
One of the funny things is that Alice losing her powers apparently makes no difference, as she is still able to do crazy stuff without them.
Only difference. Is her attempt at being deep. And maybe the film just got weirder
Fr it's so annoying. At least in the first Underworld they establish that Selene can get hurt & be vulnerable. That's why as the movie/series goes on, she keeps getting more powered up to deal with the increased threats she faces. Meanwhile Alice right from the beginning is a mary sue where absolutely nothing fazes her & is generally unaffected by events around her
@@benderbendingrodriguez420she doesn’t even seem all that phased by all the death around her, she literally loses her daughter between the fifth and sixth movie and doesn’t even bat an eye
@@mrcritical6751 the last 2 completely ignore the first 3 (even 5 forgets plot points from 4) so that doesn't surprise me
Yeah, all they do is take away her telekinesis, she still has action hero Captain America powers, plus, not sure even Captain America could kick a piece of glass mid air and slice through something and not break suspension of disbelief for him, that's a Spiderman level move.
Claire in game couldn't find Chris while going to his work, but movie Claire finds Chris in a random city that she never even wanted to go to.
By the most insane sequence of events and coincidence
The Wesker fight was inspired by the fight in RE5 which was most likely inspired by The Matrix
I'm loving Decker inserting himself into the film scenes!
Man, if you thought THIS movie gave the audience a big middle finger in regards to the sequel bait of the previous film, just wait until the last movie! I have never seen anything quite like it!
Side thing, I always remember these movies by:
1: The first one
Apocalypse: The Resident Evil 3 one
Extinction: The Mad Max one
Afterlife: The Prison Break one
Retribution: The one where they tried to bring a bunch of the game characters and creatures in very half-assedly
The Final Chapter: Oh god why
I must admit I love all these movies for how so bad it's good they are. Except for the last one which is just god awful. Retribution hyped you up with all the surviving characters going into an epic fight, only to show Alice emerging from the rubbles and everyone else is assumed to be dead. I hate that they didn't even bother addressing it. Wesker being defeated by a door is also very insulting. LOL
Rich Evans laughing at the last action scene pretty much sums everything up.
This is borderline experimental.
AIIIIIIIIIDDDDDSSSS
The one thing that bugged me in this movie was the fact that Jill had that thing on her chest and she said herself that even though she was not in control of herself she was still aware of what was going on and for Claire to lose her memory like that! Shit just irks my nerves
What only one thing bugged you.
@@casualpeace3956 lol right I just did not feel like typing out a whole dissertation.
Shhh don't (over)think anything at all. Subcome to the amnesia.
The best thing about this movie is how Paul Anderson seemingly forgot that mildly important plot point he put in the last movie where the T-Virus somehow turned the entire world into a desert.
I think he was banking on everyone being too distracted by his hot wife being badass to remember that.
@@thegreatstoneddragon9432"Look at my hot wife moment #24!" -Deusdaecon Reviews
@@benderbendingrodriguez420 Ah, a fellow man of culture.
He forgot it then remembered it randomly cause the world is back in desert mode in The Final Chapter
@@benderbendingrodriguez420 I love Deus's reviews. His Lovecraft month content was pure gold. If only he would start uploading again.
IIRC the fight between Chris, Claire and Wesker is taken straight from RE5 with almost no changes, except for Alice saving the day by the end, of course.
Forgot about that part, love that he throws his glasses in the fights.
Decker is back!
The most amazing thing is that after Apocalypse they found a title for what happens AFTER the apocalypse, and more than once!
That's nice suprise to have this review today My dear Decker... Thank you.
I keep forgetting, or want to forget that the RE movies carried on after Extinction.
I tell you after while all these Resident Evil movies just blur together.
that fight scene at the end was ripped from the game universe almost beat for beat
My favorite movie of the Milla Jovovich Resident Evil movies. Saw this one in the cinema twice (in 3D) and bought the 3D Blu Ray. It also has my favorite song of the franchise: The Outsider (Apocalypse remix) which was used to great effect in the trailer.
O wosh they had kept Crystal alive. She was actually my favorite character out of the new survivors (no matter how hard they pushed Luther)
Fun fact the shot of Alice shooting the Executioner Majini actually broke the protective glass on the camera, that’s why it’s such a quick cut because the second she fires the glass broke and they broke character
Didn't realize that but speaking about the Executioner. dude was scary in this one and in 5.
What a way to start the day. Funnily enough family decided to have a resident evil marathon over the weekend. So these movies are fresh for the reviews.
As someone who has played the games, the zombies with tentcles from their mouths or the guy with the giant hammer axe AREN'T creatures that developed from the T-Virus. Which just shows how much Anderson honestly cared about the series he was trying to adapt from.
Resident Evil
Resident Evil: Apocalypse
Resident Mad Max: Zombie Road
Resident Matrix: Afterloaded
Resident Evil: The One Where Barry Dies
Resident Evil: The Final Insult
that's how the series goes as far as I can see
I'll never forgive that 5th film for doing that to Barry. Even Resident Evil Welcome to Raccoon City didn't do that. Oh wait, Barry wasn't in it. Ugh.
Letttsss gooo, another great day when decker uploads! I love your content so damn much man and it makes my freaking day when you upload.
I second this statement
Definitely felt the change in Wesker's portrayal/actor was a HUGE!! upgrade to the last movie.
I like that because the algorithm just suggests the most recent Decker video other than the one currently playing, at the end of this video it's suggesting the video saying this video was coming
The bug thing was from resident evil 5 and it's what was controlled Jill
His name is Decker, and he didn't work for the Umbrella Corp...or does he? 🤔
Wonderful review, I can not stress enough how much the time and effort you must put in those reviews is greatly appreciated. I'm anticipating week 9 quite a bit, what do you have in store for us Decker ?
Funny how the plot of the next two films gets even more convoluted where even Phelous had a difficult time getting through it in his reviews years ago. These films tend to punish you for paying attention.
Especially the 6th movie surprised villain reveal. Which makes no sense when watching all the movies in order.
@@teddyfilli3079 exactly. Not only that but the 5th film did Barry Burton dirty.
@@EpicJasonX9000 oh shit I forgot about that. Probably because I choose to block that out of my head
I swear these movies get cheaper and cheaper looking with every release
Hell yeah Decker's new video finally beat RUclips's bullshit
People often say they like bad movies cause you can "turn off your brain" (something I never try to do), but this one you're gonna need all cylinders firing to comprehend that batshit things you are about to witness.
Wait for the Final Chapter
Not really, if you turn off your brain it makes complete sense. But that's because you aren't thinking about things like plot, story, characterization, cohesion, common sense, the laws of physics, pretty much anything deeper than "explosions pretty, sick moves".
These are not intellectual movies pretending to be action flicks, they are dumb action flicks that think they are pretending to be intellectual, and failing miserably.
Excellent job Decker. Cheers. Bloody-Hell, it took me 5 minutes before I realised I have seen this Film. A Totally forgettable movie. Upon checking, I still have the DVD. It sits among my collection untouched for years. Time to take it to the Charity Shop.
4:49 “The Original Alice!” Well………until it’s horribly retconned in TFC, which also completely ignores her original name: Janus Prospero.
Umbrella Company: "Well if this bioweapons 🧟🧟♂🧟♀thing does not work out at least we have a sick soundtrack". 🎵🎶🎵
I could never understand the fascination with Mila Jovovich. Even when people were swooning over for the "Fifth Element" I was more like Meh. At the most I barely tolerated the first two RE movies, with each sequel I would constantly think to myself "Why is Mila still being picked to be in this movie?" Then I learned she was married to the director, and I was like "there it is", she's not being selected for the role of Alice because of her acting prowess (she lacks any) and is instead getting rolls especially in Paul W.S. snore fest because she is sleeping with him. Whenever I see a movie and the name Paul W.S. Anderson attached to it, I wonder if Mila Jovovich is attached to it and most likely the answer is yes. I'm guessing cronyism is acceptable if you are married to the people in charge...
To be fair I believe Milla Jovovich and Paul W.S. Anderson met on the set of the first Resident Evil film. So she probably wasn't cast because of those two being married.
But everything else you said about all the subsequent films and how Jovovich turns up in pretty much every movie Anderson makes now is spot on.
Thank goodness his film adaptation of Monster Hunter was a flop otherwise we might have received another long and pointless movie franchise where the entire premise is Anderson trying to convince people his wife is sooo cooooool! 🙄
Also I do agree with the weird obsession with Jovovich. I like her well enough but she's really not that compelling a lead, especially in cheesy action flicks where charisma is an important trait for the lead actors in order to make the movie enjoyable.

Great video. Keep up the great work, Decker!
I hope your week was as great as mine !
Good review as always, Decker. Love your work.
For me the best thing about this movie was the use of a perfect circle's The Outsider apocalypse remix
I'm sorry, but the RE film series has always been one of those "Are you SURE Uwe Boll wasn't involved in this" series I always have to ask that about. Like, we're told in 3 that the virus dried up the oceans, so wtf is that boat floating on? Crisco, Engine oil, Baby whale placenta, LUBE?! Granted, hard to shoot a scene by the ocean and there NOT be water, but then you either choose a different scene or find a dried up lake bed. Or why not say because of infected animals falling into fressh water bodies, the water is not POISONOUS. Or maybe INFECTED. Makes the world seem more dire to me, and doesn't need to be as much of a "THEN WHAT'S THAT ANDERSON!" situation.
Decker, there ain’t no way in hell anybody’s going to mistake any of the resident evil movies for high class films
I just realised... they probably had to slip in some ultraviolet somewhere, and did it in this film.
Judging by how much Milla's daughter Ever looks like her mom... i'm actually starting to believe she was cloned
Man the clone plot line... maybe don't introduce it in the first place
Maybe not. Especially since they go all out on using it as a plot device in the next two films. And not in a good way.
What was umbrella’s plan? To destroy the world and fill it with clones or zombie monsters. To control what the 5000 real people left in the world. Also what happened to the places unreachable by any creature. The coldest of area would still freeze any Zombie solid, (side note- why is that not shown in Shows or movies. The zombies would freeze solid with as slow as they move. I mean mountains are a thing, thousands of little islands no one even heard of would be un-touched. Even in the Waters around the Americas have thousands of small islands.
Really hope we get a review of Close Encounters of the third kind!
This is where the Resident Evil movies start to go down hill, the first three movies were questionable adaptations but at the end of the day they were solid films, for the last three the quality takes a nose dive.
Hello decker 🎉
my issue with this one was always there is so much slo-mo action that if you sped it all up to normal time the movie isn't even an hour long and thats why the plot feels so paper thin cause it was barely a hour long tv episode worth of movie
Jovovich powers. True. She’s a Mary sue. But amazing written and fun. Not boring like recent female protagonists tend to be. With the girl power message. Milla shows off her powers. Doesn’t preach it. Proves her worth.
Alice was never written anything close to "amazing" or "fun".
There is one thing I can say about Milla Jovovich, she is a badass.
3:25 -- Man. Ever since I noticed it, I can't un-notice it in every movie. Whenever you have a protagonist that uses melee, the enemy always runs up to the protagonist with their guns. They don't just shoot their guns, no. They _charge_ the hero, holding their gun, only to get stabbed/punched/kicked/whatever. Over and over. Every movie.
Decker is a great buffer to watch these movies through. Anymore than 10 seconds at a time and i might lose my sanity
Ooo i waz nervous about this when i realised you would do the resident evils as its one of my favourite series of films (as messy as it gets sometimes 😂) but as always m8 another great review Decker, thank you my man.
I don't comment often so i would like to say a massive thank you for being brave enough to actually show the exciting bits with the gore every so often and i understand how much it cost to do that , so thank you mate😊.
Im afraid that i can't afford the £5 JOIN on here but i am happily a proud patreon member .
One last thing your awesome buddy keep up the amazing work.😊
Decker Shado...
You are the literate version of Weird Al of reviews
And I love it!
Decker Shado, keep doing your reviews!
I love watching your content!!
When I first saw this movie I thought Chris was played by Jensen Akles
This was where i was thinking "So they jumped the shark here?" Than a year later i was wrong
They jumped the shark after the second movie
This was the apogee of the shark jump begun in 2 before the bumpy fall back to earth & cratering of 5&6.
They didn’t jump a shark they jumped a megaladon
@@mrcritical6751 yup just like every fast and the furious movie
In another timeline, I hear Wesker can’t get enough of those unlimited Olive Garden breadsticks.
Technically, that crater at Japan Umbrella is the same place it all ends at in RE6 Final Chapter
The whole throwing away sequel bait thing, which is really annoying, is even weirder with this series since they were all written and most were directed by Paul W. S. Anderson.
I can't wait to see how this continues! a huge epic helicopter battle on a ship with all them survivors!? What will Chris and Clair do? And how will Jill and S-Mart factor into the next movie! i am so hyped, so excited, and i can't wait to see who the new big bad is too?! who will replace Wesker! All this questions and i can't wait for the inevitable answers
Great work Decker
This Resident Evil film is a doozy. Its the last one of the Paul Anderson films Ive seen. It starts out cool, with an army of psychic ninja clones fighting japanese soldiers...and then it switchs to something totally different. It becomes a combination of the Prison Break tv series, Resident Evil 5, and whatever else they could add in.
Within the film it really makes no sense that the T-Virus Undead Zombies from the majority of the early games/films suddenly become the Las Plagas Parasite Zombies from specifically Resident 5.
The Resident Evil Games didnt take long before they just started swapping different kinds of viruses. Resident Evil 4 dropped the zombie virus for a new parasite infection. That was great at the time, but then they also made the Ouroborous Virus in Resident Evil 5, C-Virus in Resident Evil 6, the Mold in Resident Evil 7, and with lots of other viruses in side games.
Believe me, the fifth movie is worse, it’s one of the most insane things ever and ends with one of the worst pieces of sequel bait ever put to screen
in RE5, the "robot bug thing" is attached to the body of the person it control (Only Jill Valentine) and it's a painful long process (and fight) to remove. Here, you just wonder how that thing mind control the person he's onto.
Also godamnnit Andreson, theses scenes in the Wesker fight at the end are straight up the RE5's cutscenes... At least that scene doesn't happen on a plane crashlanding into an active volcano.
You're my favorite internet critic! hope you're doing well
3:31 I'm no expert in Japanese medieval weaponry but usually a Katana is more than half a foot long... I mean was it not a sword right when she threw it?
I never liked the "Captain Confederacy" they swithced out O'Mara with to play Wesker.
Dont know why but the "and they blow the fuck up" line got me 😂
I wonder if she's called Kmart as a reference to Zoolander? 😂
10:50 love that Cold Train reference .
Great, now I have to wonder why Decker has a red pillow out of sync with his grey bedding!
What the hell was chris doing in LA and not raccoon city? If stars never explored the spencer mansion in the movie world, chris shouldve never left the city to investigate umbrella and he woulda been in raccoon city in its final days
Looks like Decker’s forgotten how to pronounce Boris Kodjoe’s last name in the years since he reviewed Starship Troopers 3. 😅
Another great video Decker! I love your after movie skits, even if it is just saying to like and subscribe and watch another video, you always make it fun.
Dude the way you did the intro
This movie was "based" on the 5th yet Chris did not punch one boulder and its upsetting.
*The ONLY cool scenes I I love from this in this movie is a the Executionor Fight and the end fight with Albert Wesker.*
Also ill give this a W for doing a Resident Evil 5 Wesker pretty well, minus the eating other's part.
Quaters are too big to be used in your standard 12 gauge. You use dimes instead, 18 of them which we used to call "buck 80" shot. I had some fun times shootin used appliances and TV's with my friends.
The movies had been stupid fun for me up to this point. But the clone army getting wiped out in the beginning was when I lost whatever interest I had left for the franchise. Decker is absolutely right about sequel bait bullshit.
Best weapon in Resident Evil shotgun with quarters and that's the damn truth
“ITS KMART BITCH” 😂😂😂😂 poor thing didn’t even get a speaking line, and immediately dies at the beginning of the next movie 😭
"...Olive garden!" Hahaaa as wonderfully corny as ever, Deck. Great work - you're a youtube mainstay.
Didn't mythbusters show that coins pretty much such as shot for shotgun rounds?
Decker always manages to get me to do several spit takes...!
Keep up the good work decker..great video
Only positive of this series is Ada Wong is seriously gorgeous
the constant restarting of the plot made me drop these movies after the third, cant belive why since they are all written by the same dude
Angel in this movie looks so aggressively like RE3 Carlos it hurts
Wow! What an unexpected surprise 😮 ! A new video on a Sunday! I'll take it! Great video and keep up the good work!!
Hey dude, do you ever do any extra work in movies? I just saw Landscape with Invisible Hand and I swear I saw a guy that looked like you in the background.
You’re covering RE movies I have zero interest in… but have a comment and like as sacrifices to the algorithm gods! Hehe
Look forward to future vids!
Decker how do you work so hard and make so many videos! Amazing!
Decker, is really having a lot of fun with this review.
One thing that got me about this movie is the short little fight between chris, claire and wesker. Its almost the same fight scene in resident evil 5 with chris, sheva and wesker so they took that from the game as well🤔
Coming soon, Decker Shado's Resident Evil Dance playlist 🎧
Decker have you seen the video of the redlettermedia crew trying to watch all (at the time) resident evil movies and it literally breaking them to where they can't stop laughing during the end of this movie.
Your the best decker. Keep it up. God bless
Funny how it never explains how or when Umbrella caught Jill Valentine after part 2 and turned her into a mind-controlled assassin.
