Amazon.co.uk Review
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 too. 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 Suprisingly good, 3 Dec 2007
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 the fourth and if it can maintain the standard RE:E has set then bring it on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even more brainless brilliance! , 22 Mar 2008
By D. Jackson "DJ" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
The Resident Evil series has never really been very popular- that's why I'm so glad the third installment has enjoyed a surprising amount of mainstream success.

Alice is back- the kickass b***h, now with added super-powers! The world has been overrun with a deadly zombie infection, and again, we focus on a small band of 'lucky' survivors on their way to safety.

Cue plenty of action, gore, awesome special effects, and Milla Jovovitch.

Please, do not watch this film expecting intelligence, a mind-bending plot, realistic characterization and whatever else. People degrading the film in those departments: Go away and watch something else, because this film isn't about all that.

After an OK original and a sloppy second, Extinction has brought the Resident Evil franchise to a whole new level, and now I really cant wait until number 4!

4.0 out of 5 stars Action no brainer flick - that's actually not that bad, 6 April 2008
By Richard Jagdhar "radolphin entertainment" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Zombies, guns, martial arts and slow mo camera shots - what more can you ask for? And this is precisely what you get.

Again this 3rd installment in the Resident Evil saga sees the story unfold around Alice (Milla Jovovich). She's been in hiding for years, but re-appears to help a convoy of survivors and helps them on their mission to get to a safe haven. At the same time she's discovering her own special abilities and elements of her past that come to light.

Admist the hoards of zombiles, the infamouse Umbrella coorporation and some gruesome monsters, this gun blazed movie works well and has you betting on who would kick the bucket or escape.

It's a pretty easy to follow story that has a great Las Vegas desert scene. Definitely a popcorn movie, that you can watch without concentrating. Great fun all around.
