If you're looking for subtle nuanced characters and complex well-rounded story then Resident Evil Afterlife (in 3D) will disappoint you in all aspects. Whilst everything else is in 3D, the characters are strictly two-dimensional (and even that is going too far for some of them) It would also be wrong to say that this film is full of plotholes. You have to have something resembling a plot in the first place to have plotholes. What it does have is enormous, spectacular setpieces (stunts, explosions, shooting, zombie hordes, lots of slo-mo) and it makes great use of it's 3D. Bullets, water droplets, glass shards, knives, zombie body parts, and in one truly over-the-top moment, a 10-foot axe/hammer combination, all fly out of the screen at the audience. If you like completely gonzo horror/action flicks and aren't worried that absolutely nothing will make sense then this is one to see at the cinema. Even with a large HD TV I can't see the experience being the same at home.

A thread most controversial, that’s what I want to start
Full of impassioned arguments, of posting from the heart
And for this stimulation all will be thankful to me
On come on everybody it won’t work if you agree
