"Resident Evil: Afterlife" is the fourth film in the franchise and marks the glorious return as Paul W.S. Anderson as both writer and director, and it shows! This films feels more like the original in terms as a horror film with a sense of desperation and being trapped by a horde of zombies. The film's pacing is a bit slow at times, more so than needed, but it still has plenty of action scenes that keep the movie going forward. The issues about Alive being overly powerful and cloned are quickly dealt with in the beginning of the film, a perfect way for the proverbial "reset" button to be pushed in a very satisfying fashion.
The film opens with an exciting showdown between Albert Whesker and the Alice Army. Both Albert and a power-stripped Alice survive.
Later, Alice finds the helicopter that the survivors from Las Vegas used to fly to Alaska. She is attacked by Claire, who is under the control of a mind control device. Alice is able to disable the device and Claire is left without any memory after finding the Arcadia. The two travel to LA where the Arcadia has traveled to (it's a ship) and find more survivors. Together, they fight zombies, find the Arcadia, fight Whesker, fight more zombies, and claim the Arcadia as their own. And then the Umbrella air force arrives and the credits begin to scroll.
