Milla Jovovich is back with a vengeance as amnesiac, genetically-altered zombie ass-kicker, Alice, in this sequel to the 2002 hit film, which is based on the video game. This time around the sinister Umbrella Corporation sends a team of investigators into their destroyed underground lab (the ground-zero of carnage in the previous film) and unwittingly unleash the still-staggering zombies and monsters out into the population of Raccoon City. Soon Umbrella has evacuated all of their own key employees and has shut everyone else inside to be devoured. A mastermind chemist's daughter gets left behind in the confusion, and she is the one ticket out for Alice and a handful of dwindling survivors, including the almost-as-tough lady cop, Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory). There's some nifty motorcycle riding, plenty of bullets and splattering blood, and even a new monster--the hulking, heavily-armoured, seriously ugly Nemesis. Comic actor Mike Epps is great as a pimped-out hustler who handles the whole dead-coming-back-to-life thing with cool nonchalance. In some ways, this non-stop creep show is even an improvement over the original, with a pervasive mood of nihilistic corporate dehumanisation adding extra concern about the future of civilization to the mix of shooting, dying, punching, and munching.

1 & 3 were better

Chantal from , 15th October, 2008

This is the most OTT of the 3 films and the least exciting.

Initially I wasn't looking forward to viewing this film, but once it started I was hooked. Being subtitled did not spoil the enjoyment. Exciting, well acted and well directed, I highly recommend this film.

Bit of a mess

A Customer from Manchester, England, 15th August, 2008

Bit of a mess, this one. There is nothing new here but it does keep (reasonably) closely to the computer game. As a film though it's pretty poor and has a messy storyline which never really gets going. This film could have been so much more (never great, but enjoyable) but even fans of RE will think that this film was just 'acceptable'.
