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

3.0 out of 5 stars Extinction is the best of the 3 Resident Evil films just!, 27 May 2009
By Dragonlord (Cornwall) - See all my reviews
Resident Evil: Extinction is an big improvement on the 2nd film and on par with the 1st one or maybe just a little bit better, which I am pleased to say as I am a massive fan of the games. Milla Jovovich is fantastic at action films and proved this in the most excellent si-fi film called Fifth Element which must have got her the role for the Resident Evil films. The World has become a vast desert because of the T- Virus which gives the film a Mad Max feel. At one point in this zombie road trip film are heros get attacked by crows which is a nice little nod to an old classic called The Birds. Milla Jovovich has developed Jedi type powers and looks dead sexy when she kicks butt. All in all if you like action horror with a bit si-fi thrown in then you will enjoy this film its good fun but not great. The Blu-Ray transfar overall is good but not the best I have seen and, Resident Evil 4 the game is a PS2 classic the films can't touch that game in terms of quality.

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.
