Resident Evil: Afterlife

[valtyr]

Passed and how. It was FILLED with women, talking to each other about all kinds of stuff, and generally being awesome.

I actually wasn't really looking forward to it; a friend wanted to see it, so I went along. Oh, but it was great. Four named female characters, including the protagonist and her sidekick, and they got the vast majority of the badass fight scenes and moves.

I will say I was amused at the prevalence of tweezers and waterproof mascara in the zombie apocalypse, but I was pleasantly surprised when the protagonist actually got dirty.

It was also a pretty good movie, although the final scene was ludicrous. The story was decent, it ratcheted up the tension well, and the fight scenes were beautifully shot. (Maybe a little too much bullet-time, but I can't see 3D so it may be better for people who can.) I really recommend this for people who like women-focused action movies.

The movie series as a whole pass's the test. And that's why I love it! I don't care how silly and mindless it can be, at the end of the day it's got women kicking ass, taking names and talking to each other about what they're going through.

I remember seeing the first one, but I missed the second and third for some reason, so the amount of kickass women was a wonderful suprise! I'm going to have to watch the rest of them. Aside from the last scene, it was a genuinely good movie, too.
