Resident Evil: Afterlife

The quality of the Resident Evil series takes a serious nose dive with this film.
The beauty of the first three films in the series was that they were realistic. They had a simple plot they followed through, and at least a tiny bit of believable story development.This film, while it does advance the story, goes a completely different direction to what I expected, and a direction that isn't too great.
But it does keep the Resident Evil tradition of awesome action scenes well and truly alive.
Our heroine Alice (Milla Jovovich) kicks this film by infiltrating an Umbrella Corporation with no less than four clones in an effort to kill Albert Wesker (Shawn Roberts). A few kickass and completely unrealistic action sequences later all Umbrella employees are dead except for Wesker, who escapes in a helicopter and activates a bomb that destroys the base, killing everyone (and all Alice clones) inside.
The real Alice managed to get onboard the helicopter, and engages Wesker in a fight until he injects her with a serum, removing her powers.
She travels to Alaska where she bumps into Claire Redfield (Ali Larter) who is being controlled by a device and attempts to kill her. The device's destruction frees Claire of mind control and they shoot off to LA to find her brother Chris (Wentworth Miller) who, like Miller's most famous role, is imprisoned and knows an escape route.
The story doesn't sound too bad and the action scenes are fantastic, but there is so much CGI in this film it makes it hard to keep interest. The acting is substandard and the ridiculousness of some of the situations takes away from the enjoyment level.
The final scene features a cameo from Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory) which sets up Resident Evil: Retribution, and that is defnitely not a good thing.
