It's three years after the action of Resident Evil - Apocalypse and the world has turned to desert in this third film based on the now-classic video game Resident Evil. Survivors of the zombie-making T-virus are few and far between, but Alice (Milla Jovovich) treks her way across the desolate landscape, fending off zombies and fighting the Umbrella Corporation. Not only is the company responsible for the virus and the state of the world but their experiments also turned Alice into a super-human fighting machine. She reunites with Carlos (Oded Fehr) and L.J. (Mike Epps) when she joins with a caravan of people led by Claire Redfield (Ali Larter, Heroes). Together, the band battles the undead as they make their way to the promised safety of Alaska.
The zombies of Resident Evil - Extinction have more in common with the fast-moving fiends of 28 Days Later than with the lumbering creatures of George A. Romero's classic Night of the Living Dead. However, this film doesn't limit itself to human zombies; instead, there's horror to be found in undead dogs and crows. But none of these are any match for Jovovich's Alice. Whether clad in chaps and shorts or a slinky red dress and boots, Jovovich is dressed to kill as she takes down the zombie hordes with a lethal combination of guns, knives, and a powerful pair of legs. Just as in Ultraviolet and The Fifth Element, the actress has perfected the role of the dangerous beauty, and this film's blend of butt-kicking action and horror-movie scares provides the perfect opportunity for her to shine.

Resident Evil - Extinction

A Customer from London, 3rd March, 2008

I'll qualify this review by saying that I have never been a great fan of the game or the movies - Ithe first was watchable, the second mediocre at best. This third instalment successfully continues the downward trend. There are some good visual effects, some interestingly sinister concepts and a fair share of watchable action scenes, but overall not much to remember it by. Some of it looked quite good in HD, but that's not reason enough to rent this. If there's a fourth, I won't be rushing to watch it. I am sure that true Resident Evil fans will enjoy it more than I did, whoever they are.

BEST OUT OF THREE

OnlyOneKenobi from from Nottingham, 11th April, 2009

This was without a doubt the best Res Evil movie so far. The 1st was original, the 2nd was predictable, but this one has the best acting, most violent action & the most believable special effects. WAS SO GOOD, I WATCHED IT TWICE.
