Movies based on computer games generally aren't well respected, but just because they aren't high art doesn't mean they can't be highly enjoyable. The only catch is that you need to be a fan of computer games to appreciate them. Resident Evil: Extinction is the third movie in the massively popular Resident Evil franchise, and it's probably the best one yet.

Between Resident Evil: Apocalypse and Extinction, the zombie-creating T-virus has spread far beyond the doomed Raccoon City; now the human race is almost extinct (hence the title). When a convoy of survivors meets up with the genetically-altered Alice, the shadowy Umbrella Corporation does everything in its power to take them down and reclaim her; but Alice isn't giving up without a fight...

Resident Evil: Extinction is part zombie movie, and part post-apocalyptic survival yarn. The big set pieces use CGI that doesn't look anything like reality, but does look very much like a computer game, which is possibly intentional--since this is a sequel to an adaptation, Resident Evil: Extinction does tend to assume a built-in audience which is already familiar with the various quirks of the franchise. If you're a fan of the games, you'll enjoy the various references to game characters and events; if not, you might feel a bit left out. It's not the best entry point to the franchise if you're a complete newcomer, but if you've seen the other films, it's a hell of a lot of fun. -- Sarah Dobbs



Synopsis
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Popcorn Pleasure, 13 Jan 2008
By R. Fisher "entertainment lover" (west midlands uk) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I wasn't expecting much from this after the abysmal RE: Apocalypse so I was pleasantly surprised walking out that I had just seen one of the best game to film adaptations yet, not because it remains faithful to its source material (because it doesn't) but because its an adrenaline fuelled Rolla-coaster of a movie that's highly entertaining.

A few years have passed since the events of RE:A and the world has become a wasteland overrun with the undead, a small group of remaining survivors stick together in conveys trying to stay alive traversing the desert, meanwhile the few umbrella scientists still alive attempt to produce a serum to reverse the affects of the virus but to do so they require the blood of Alice, a genetic experiment who currently survives off the grid trying to help whoever she can, when the convoy is attacked she intervenes and pops into Umbrella's view to again.

The film does 'borrow' a fair bit from cult favourites Mad Max & Day of the Dead, but when the actions sequences kick into gear coming thick and fast (helmed by the director of `Highlander') you will become lost in the excitement. The standout scene without a shadow of a doubt takes place on the Vegas strip when super zombies attack the survivors, it's an assault on the senses and easily rivals any zombie action sequences from that of the action heavy dawn of the dead remake.

Due to the films fairly short running time the plot zips along as fast pace. Resi fans will be pleased to see the addition of Claire Redfield played by Ali Larter, (TV's Heroes, Final Destination) and that of infamous Tyrant.

It may be dumb and loud but its handled so slickly that you wont care the perfect popcorn movie easily the best of the three but don't expect the trilogy's loose ends to be tied up as the ending leaves it open for a fourth.

However this could well be the last live action installment in the franchise as Resident Evil Degneration is now in production (a CGI movie Final Fantasy Advent Children style)so if this brings the live action film series to a close they go out on a high

4.0 out of 5 stars 4 out of 5 S.T.A.R.S, 4 Mar 2008
By KM (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
Milla Jovovich returns as Alice in the third installment of Paul Anderson's Resident Evil series, following straight on from the previous film. Alice is on her own and aware that she has become a liability and could endanger those around her, she is struggling to survive and bring down the Umbrella Corporation led by the sinister Albert Wesker and head researcher Dr. Isaacs. Meanwhile, traveling through the Nevada Desert and the ruins of Las Vegas, Carlos Olivera, L.J., and new survivors K-Mart, Claire Redfield, and Nurse Betty (with the unmentioned absence of Jill) must fight to survive extinction against hordes of zombies, killer crows and the most terrifying creatures created as a result of the deadly T-Virus that has killed millions.

If you've read my other review for Resident Evil: Extintion (standard DVD) which I wrote after seeing it at the cinema a few months back, you'll see that I wasn't all that keen on it (giving it 3 stars) but now after watching it again on Blu Ray, my expecations were lower and for some strange reason, I enjoyed it a hell of a lot more the second time around. Ok the action is ridiculously over the top, the acting is cheesy and isn't all that great, but if you watch it as the brain-less, action/horror that it is, it is extremely enjoyable and I now even think that this is my favourite of the three. My advice would be turn the lights off, crank the volume up high and sit back and enjoy 90 minutes of zombie killing entertainment.

4.0 out of 5 stars Third time lucky, 3 April 2008
By G. Thomas (Canterbury UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm not entirely sure whether I liked this because of the film itself or because it was my first experience of watching a Blu-Ray film.

I certainly think RE3 is better than the first film in the series and almost infinitely better than that "number-two" of a sequel. No longer trying to recreate the game atmosphere was a very good move although admittedly it does revert to type in the final sequence.
To be honest I found both of the previous films reasonably dull and barely cared who lived or died or if they would even escape. Somehow the whole zombie/desert/Mad Max 2 scenario gives the franchise a real adrenaline kick which it sorely needed.

The reproduction on interiors was little different to the visuals on my old upscaling DVD player but the outdoor scenes are a real testament to the power of Blu-ray. I particularly enjoyed the desert vistas, the small detail of the shifting sands blown across the dunes and the truly gob-smacking "crow scene" (Somewhat borrowed from Hitchcock but still amazingly well done)

If you're going to see one of the RE films then make it this one and preferably make it high-density if you can.
