Despite the choppy editing, the final scene where Alice looks at the camera and says "My name is Alice. This is my story" is surprisingly emotional.
A fun, messy, early-2000s time capsule. It knows it’s a B-movie and owns it. 3. Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) – Mad Max with Zombies The Vibe: Post-apocalyptic desert road trip.
Alice using telekinesis to explode a thousand zombie birds. It’s ridiculous, but visually stunning.
Here is where the franchise goes full slow-mo , bullet-time , sunglasses-indoors mode. Filmed in 3D (the post- Avatar era), Afterlife is the most video-game-like of the series.
The laser hallway. You know the one. It turns soldiers into cubed meat and still holds up as one of the most tense sci-fi horror sequences of the 2000s.
