So this is another reboot, for the money. They got that right, there’s a Jill Sandwich joke in the first minutes.

More derivative Resident Evil films. Yes Paul, I have seen The Matrix, Children of Men, and The Island. It’s called afterlife because the cast comes back even though they died.

Biohazard: The Road Warrior. A particularly crummy Mad Max ripoff, with final boss fight setting up the next film.
