Ranking EVERY Resident Evil Movie From Worst To Best

Paul W.S Anderson returns to the director's chair for the first time since 2002, and by now the name Resident Evil was nothing more than a marketing ploy to get audiences in seats. This was the first film that decided that the plot of the last one didn't matter, other than to service a mildly cool opening monologue before changing things on a whim.

Remember when Alice had superpowers that let her manipulate fire and crush peoples brain with only her mind? Well, forget it because Wesker fixes that before he and Alice smash headfirst into a mountain, with both of them leaving without a scratch. Now sure, we receive exposition later that the T-Virus brings Wesker back, but what about Alice? She literally walks this off.

Among that the world is no longer a desert wasteland like something you'd expect to see out of a Mad Max film. Nope, now oceans are back and it seems that the plant life is doing fine, but these are Resident Evil films and continuity barely matters.

There are some elements lifted from the then most recent game in the series, Resident Evil 5, but this basically went as far as "what would be cool to stick in Afterlife?" Wentworth Miller plays Chris Redfield so of course, this means he has to be locked up because, well, Prison Break. The final confrontation from the 5th game is lifter for this film, but as you'd expect is laughably underwhelming with a serious overuse of slow motion.

One of the saving graces for Afterlife is the unexpected end stinger which almost helped forget the final fight.
