They're all pretty much garbage. The movies suffer from wanting to do too much, always. Reisdent Evil spoilers ahoy!
I watched Afterlife a few weeks ago and my general thoughts are, movie did not need that stupid 15 minute opening with the clones. The effects were awful and everything looked cheap. I don't like how Jovovich's character flew to Alaska, then flew to LA within like ten minutes. I liked how they ended up in the prison building and met up with Wentworth Miller's character, I liked how their objective became "get the eff out of the prison" because that was the most cohesive part of the whole movie. A little like the Walking Dead at that point. I liked how the "safe haven" was a super tanker, but I absolutely hated that it was an Umbrella Corp. trap and resulted in s***** bullet time fights. I think Paul WS Anderson has now killed bullet time for me, because I went back and watched The Matrix and got frustrated every time there was a slow mo sequence.
The sci-fi Umbrella Corp. aspects are the worst parts of the RE movies. Doesn't really do the games any favours, either, but it's just insufferable in the movies.
