The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
Shot in actual 3D rather than being the latest example of the horrible post-shooting conversion process, "Afterlife" undeniably looks terrific.

The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
This witless installment features the usual ultra-slow-motion mayhem and helpful freeze-frames to allow us to admire the extra dimension. Fans will not be happy, however, to learn that Ms. Jovovich is more decently clothed this time around.

What fun there is to be had is undermined by drab 3D, hacked-out dialogue and rehashed plots.

Los Angeles Times by Michael Ordona
If you're interested in this movie, it's because you love either seeing zombies explode (check), the video games (major character included, check) or Jovovich kicking undead butt in every conceivable way (check and mate).

Really, the whole series would be unthinkable without the films of George Romero. In that respect, Anderson has taken another page from the Corman playbook for his superior B-movie: If you're going to steal, at least steal well.

It's a humorless movie of morphing zombies (they take on beastly attributes), phoned-in performances and trite dialogue.
