''Resident Evil: Afterlife'' is a 2010 3D science fiction action horror film written and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson. It stars Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter, Kim Coates, Shawn Roberts, Spencer Locke, Boris Kodjoe, and Wentworth Miller. The film marks Anderson's second time to direct in the series, the first being the first installment. It is the first to be shot in 3D and fourth installment in the ''Resident Evil'' film series, which is based on the Capcom survival horror video game series of the same name. The film follows Alice searching for and rescuing the remaining survivors in Los Angeles after the T-virus outbreak, and teaming up against Albert Wesker, the head of the Umbrella Corporation. Chris Redfield, a primary character from the video games, was featured for the first time in the film franchise. Other characters from the games and films who returned are: Claire Redfield, Chris's sister who has lost her memory prior to the film's events; Albert Wesker, the film's main antagonist; and Jill Valentine, who made a cameo appearance. In May 2005, producers mentioned the possibility of following ''Extinction'' with a sequel titled ''Afterlife''. ''Extinction'' was released in 2007 and was a box office success prompting ''Afterlife'' to begin development in June 2008, with the script being written by Anderson that December. Elements from the video game ''Resident Evil 5'' (2009) were incorporated into the film. Filming took place in Toronto from September to December 2009 using the 3D Fusion Camera System. The film was released in 3D and IMAX 3D theaters on September 10, 2010. The film grossed $60 million in the United States and Canada on an estimated $60 million budget, and made $236 million in other markets surpassing the previous film's overseas total in the second week of release. Grossing a worldwide total of $296 million, ''Resident Evil: Afterlife'' became the highest-grossing entry of the series with the overseas total almost equaling the previous films' overseas total combined. ''Resident Evil: Afterlife'' was released to DVD, Blu-ray, and Blu-ray 3D on December 28, 2010 in the United States. ==Plot== A year after the events of ''Extinction'', the Alice clones (Milla Jovovich) attempt to kill Albert Wesker (Shawn Roberts) at the current Umbrella Headquarters, Tokyo. The clones manage to kill the entire branch, but Wesker makes his way to his private charter tiltrotor plane and escapes before activating a bomb, leaving a massive sinkhole. However, the real Alice boarded his aircraft beforehand. As she pulls a gun on him, Wesker injects her with Anti-Virus before the lack of a pilot makes the aircraft crash in the mountains outside Tokyo. Only Alice emerges from the crash alive. Six months later, Alice travels back to the United States in a Russian airplane Yak-52 following emergency broadcasts from a safe haven known as ''Arcadia'' in Alaska. En route, Alice locates the helicopter in which Claire's (Ali Larter) team escaped the Umbrella facility, and is attacked by her. Alice destroys a spider-like device on Claire's chest, giving her amnesia and pacifying her. They travel to the ruins of L.A., where they find survivors living in a prison surrounded by the infected. Luther West (Boris Kodjoe) leads the small band which includes Wendell (Fulvio Cecere), Crystal Waters (Kacey Barnfield), Bennett (Kim Coates), Kim Yong (Norman Yeung), and Angel Ortiz (Sergio Peris-Mencheta). With their help, Alice lands on the prison's roof and learns ''Arcadia'' is not a fixed place, but a cargo tanker traveling along the coast. However, ''Arcadia'' has stopped broadcasting and has remained still for 4 days; since the prison is surrounded, there is no safe way to reach the ship. Claire remembers arriving at the ''Arcadia'', but nothing else. As they need to reach the ''Arcadia'', Luther takes Alice to the last inmate, Chris Redfield (Wentworth Miller), who insists he fell victim to a prank from the other inmates, and will reveal an escape route for freedom. Luther guides Alice to the showers to clean up, but she discovers Wendell, who was trying to peep. They are attacked by a group of Majini infected that tunneled into the prison, and take Wendell; she manages to kill them all. Out of options, they free Chris, who explains Claire is his sister. Chris reveals the prison keeps an armored car they can use to escape. However, a giant axe-wielding monster begins breaking down the gate. Alice, Chris and Crystal go deeper into the prison to get guns from the armory. Luther and Claire reinforce the gate to keep the undead at bay. Alice, Chris and Crystal make it to the armoury, but zombies kill Crystal. Angel informs Bennett and Yong the car is missing its engine and it would take a week to fix. Desperate to live, Bennett shoots Angel, abandons Yong, and heads for ''Arcadia'' in Alice's airplane. The Axeman breaks down the gate, allowing the zombies into the facility. With no other choice, the group decides to use the zombie-dug tunnels to escape into the sewers. Yong is slashed in half by the Axeman, whom Alice and Claire then face. Alice is knocked out; Claire defends Alice and just before it can kill her, Alice awakes and shoots a hole in its head. The two meet up with Chris at the end of the sewers, but lose Luther to a zombie that drags him back into the tunnels. Alice and the Redfields board the ''Arcadia'', discovering it functional but abandoned. Claire then remembers that ''Arcadia'' is an Umbrella trap to get test subjects; they release the survivors, among them K-Mart (Spencer Locke). Alice follows a trail of blood from an empty holding cell deeper into the ship, where she finds Wesker. The T-virus revived him, but it battles Wesker for control, something he believes fresh human DNA can pacify; the Umbrella staff fled when he began eating test subjects. Alice's DNA is superior to his, since she retained control despite bonding with the virus at a cellular level; he believes eating her will give him back control. The Redfields fight Wesker while Alice battles Bennett, who now works for Wesker. Wesker easily overpowers Chris and Claire, but Alice is able to defeat both Bennett and Wesker with help from K-Mart. They lock Bennett in the room with Wesker's corpse. Bennett is devoured by Wesker when he revives. Wesker then escapes in an aircraft, activating a bomb on the ''Arcadia''; the plane explodes instead as Alice placed the bomb there beforehand. Unbeknownst to them, Wesker parachutes away from the explosion, while Luther emerges from the sewers, battered but alive. Alice resolves to turn ''Arcadia'' into a real haven and broadcasts a new message for any other survivors. As Alice, Clarie and Chris watch over from ''Arcadia'', it is approached by a military squadron of Umbrella aircraft. During the post-credits scene in one of the aircraft, Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory), who went missing after ''Resident Evil: Apocalypse'', is dictating the attack wearing the same mind control device used on Claire. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Resident Evil: Afterlife」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
