Resident Evil: Afterlife

I'll try to keep any spoilers out of this, so you shouldn't have any concern there.

I'd say 3D didn't really add anything to this film, although it didn't take anything away, either. As long as you focus on where the director wants you to focus, you can avoid any headache. I came out of Avatar with one, but that's because I kept looking into the background, to pick up more detail. You just can't do that with 3D.

There were a few 'throw something at the audience' moments, but thankfully they were kept at a minimum, and weren't jarring, being in context for where the camera was. No yoyo in the face, for example.

I was wondering how they'd deal with the super powered Alice, and thankfully the answer is 'well'. Very little 'puny mortals watch Alice save them', which I had been a little afraid of.

While there is set up for the next film in the credits, if you decide to ignore that scene, the film is nicely self contained. Just enough exposition to fill newcomers in, and not too much to annoy people that have no idea what is going on. There is /one/ thing a little explanation would have helped with, but it's fairly minor in the context of the film.

One thing to be grateful for. This isn't post production 3D. They used the proper cameras. So there's nothing in there where you could take off the glasses and see no difference. Far less jarring to the senses. I enjoyed Clash of the Titans a lot less, because of that.

Being honest, 3D doesn't add much for me. Poorly done 3D takes away so much. Do it right, or don't do it at all.
