For so long, I thought you were the future; I was wrong, I am the future.
-Dr. IsaacsSomehow Resident Evil: Apocalypse managed to surpass the original at the box office and that was the sure fire sign that another sequel would come along. Even though Paul W.S. Anderson would again only write the script for the sequel, Alexander Witt was thankfully not asked to return as director. Replacing him is Russell Mulcahy, the director of the Academy Award Winner for Best Movie Ever Made. In all seriousness though, I love the original Highlander.
The direction in this film is so infinitely superior to the last that I don't know where to begin. Oded Fehr and Mike Epps who basically…

This 'zombie movie' does absolutely nothing to expand upon the zombie genre, simply sitting back and going through the cliched undead apocalypse motions. There is a 5 minute bit which is pretty much lifted exactly from Day of the Dead. The plot is awful. There are a few good action scenes, but there are equally as many terrible ones, and hats off for making the worst fire-explosion effect I HAVE EVER SEEN.

The Resident Evil movies are a lot like sex. The first time is dark, unsure, shaky, and in the end you really don't know what to think. Extinction is the 3rd film in the Resident Evil movie series and it really finds its stride here. The setting is no longer a sterile lab but an apocalyptic desert. The film begins like your average Mad Max fare, but turns into a wacky parallel of the video game series. Not a totally satisfying experience, but watchable if you absolutely have to see all the films in the series.

the cinematography of this film makes works of kubrick look like babby's first home video

I'm at home. I've been sick. What shall I watch? Resident evil! I chose this as the one I have seen the least.
It's a bad movie. What saves it from being a one star movie? 1) Milla jovovich is like my dream woman. 2) the desert shots for the first hour are fantastic.
I enjoy resident evil movies but they are an acquired taste. My taste...yes. Good film...no.

Russell Mulcahy replaces Alexander Witt for a marginally better but still poor sequel to Paul W.S. Anderson's underrated original genre workout. Only worthy moments are the several set-piece sequences where Milla can run around and do things like throw knives at people and kick dogs in the face. Deleted scenes on the disc suggest a missed opportunity for a post-apocalyptic three-hander sitcom: mad doctor, hologram girl, domesticated zombie.

how the fuck did they make a worse movie

The last Resident Evil film I'd ever bother to watch. They're just not for me.

Jovovich is one of my favorite people in film, and I like a zombie just as much as the next movie goer, but this was the last of the Resident Evils I've seen. I. Just. Couldn't. Go. On.

Starting to enjoy this series much against my better judgement! Each one so far is getting better. looking forward to the next one.
-
Extinctions most distinct feature is the surprisingly good cinematography, with the film being primarily set in a desert. The setting adds to the film as a whole and is a huge improvement over the bleak and dark Raccoon City of Resident Evil: Apocalypse.
Location aside this is more of the same, though Alice has become even more of a badass even if her haircut is seriously awful. Whilst I can see that this franchise isn't particularly groundbreaking or well made, if you watch the series with low expectations (as I have) its extremely possible to have a good time with them.

More action, scares, and zombie headshots than the first two movies put together... but sadly lacking in Jill Valentine.
-
It's still not good per se, with no plot at all, but that Stevie joke made me laugh more than any joke I've seen in a while. 2.5/5
-
I enjoyed it. Milla Jovovich is still hot (it's nice to know that crazy hot military surplus yet stylish clothing will be readily available when the world is taken over by zombies.) Still lost of crazy aesthetic violence. Ridiculous, of course, but I love it. The Umbrella Corporation employees are particularly delightfully evil in this one.
-
Some good action but not as consistent as the earlier two but still good. Its getting a little too mystical about Milla’s abilities. I think this is a mistake because even though this is far out sci fi - it was still based in science – now they’re taking it in weird directions. Some really scary moments here – especially in the zombie training.
