TSI Five-O: If you love video games, you'll fancy this one

The fourth installment of 'Resident Evil, Afterlife' is an action packed graphically-sound sci-fi flick which is clearly not cut-out for critics. The movie resembles an ultra-cool video game, sadly giving no more depth to the characters or the plot.

Dressed in a sleek black leather suit, Alice (Milla Jovovich), the protagonist, and a number of her clones have taken it upon themselves to destroy the cruel company Umbrella Corp. A matrix-style fight scene in the Tokyo headquarters of Umbrella follows. The target man, Chairman Albert Wesker (Shawn Roberts) senses danger and flees from the 'bloody' mess in a super-jet. Mid-journey, Alice ambushes from nowhere and attempts to kill Albert, only to be injected by a serum which neutralises her super powers. As the two are busy exchanging dialogues, the plane crashes and burns to ashes. As fate would have it, Alice survives without a scratch and within months is flying around in search of survivors.

The irony is she is impeccably dressed and flaunts fabulous lipstick and make-up. Wonder who she's trying to impress with no one around!

After months of solidarity and speaking to her camera, she finds a rather savage looking amnesiac, Claire (Ali Larter) who she takes into custody. Further, they get lucky as they spot a few survivors residing on the roof of a high security prison which is surrounded by swarms of zombies.

The movie will impress a masala-action aficionado. Though the cinematography is visually appealing and the techno-metal score suits the nonstop action, the movie is no-brainer. It is also hard to ignore that the fight scenes share striking similarities with the ones in 'The Matrix'. The dialogues are below par and the sporadic humour raises laughter for its sheer stupidity.

That said, 'Afterlife' reiterates that there is a market for its kind and the producers are more than happy minting the millions guaranteed with each sequel.
