Resident Evil: Afterlife
dir. Paul W. S. Anderson · 2010
Alice navigates the ruins of a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, where the undead roam and survival is a daily battle. As she seeks refuge for her group, the stakes rise with each encounter, revealing both allies and hidden threats. Watching this film is like being thrust into a relentless chase, where every moment is charged with tension and the fight for survival is both exhilarating and harrowing.
In a world ravaged by a virus infection, turning its victims into the Undead, Alice (Jovovich), continues on her journey to find survivors and lead them to safety. Her deadly battle with the Umbrella Corporation reaches new heights, but Alice gets some unexpected help from an old friend. A new lead that promises a safe haven from the Undead takes them to Los Angeles, but when they arrive the city is overrun by thousands of Undead - and Alice and her comrades are about to step into a deadly trap.
