Review by Arielrocks5 ★★★½ 16

Now this! This is more like it! While not nearly as fun to watch as the original, "Resident Evil: Extinction" is a massive improvement from the lackluster "Apocalypse". Actually, come to think of it, why wasn't this one called "Apocalypse"? Because, you know? THIS ONE ACTUALLY TAKES DURING THE APOCALYPSE! Aw, who cares anyway?

Taking us as far away from the bland blue city of Racoon and instead heads for the sandy deserts of Las Vegas was probably the best choice to make, since it makes for a much more fun setting for our characters to play around with it.

Another stellar choice was to replace whatever the fuck his name who directed the second one with Russell Mulcahy of…
Review by CJ Probst ★★★ 5

This is the best one so far. From the opening moments it looks better than the previous movies, set in a desert landscape that is appropriate for its title, besides deserts always look awesome on film. In Resident Evil: Extinction they basically forego any plot and instead go with a simplistic ‘trying to get from point A to point B’ narrative. Thank you. If you aren’t going to write a compelling story in the first place you might as well abandon it all together, wise choice. A few characters from the last one return in addition to a new band of vagabonds including Claire Redfield, another slight nod to the games which by the way they have entirely given up…

52/100

Resident Evil: Extinction is a definite improvement over Apocalypse, not only in filmmaking competence but in world-building and franchise progression. Led by Russell Mulcahy, director of Highlander, The Shadow and the twisted brilliance that is Razorback, Extinction is a Resident Evil installment told through action, even more so than Anderson's original. Desolate, barren landscapes are evoked not though exposition but by the movements of bands of survivors and loosely connected set-piece moments. Buildings, structures, and monuments are remnants of a world lost, with diseased zombies populating it not only out of hunger but out of habit. Alice as a character is fascinating in this outing, mainly because of her added Telekinetic powers and the way she utilizes them to…

Review by ristubasan ★★

Underwhelming zombie apocalyse plot further undermined by the unblemished looks of all the main characters. But I'm giving it a star for the blatant rip-off from 'The Birds', just for the sheer nerve of it, and for acknowledging quality elsewhere.
Review by JBarcomb ★★

Lacking in plot/character development, despite being the most visually impressive movie in the franchise. 4.5/10
Review by Numbercrunch youtube/RetroHorror ★★★½

The third in the franchise is a more story driven post apocalyptic tale. The CGI is still annoyingly bad at times , but a much better film than the initial two.
7/10
Review by Jason M ★★★

Think this one might be my fave as it’s got a Resident Evil/MadMax thing going on.
Review by Muhmmdfdl ★★½

the less fun of the series yet the prettiest one to look at.
Review by DrStrangeblog ★★★

Damn you Milla Jovovich and your sexy red dress, you have seduced me into watching the third of these movies. T-virus zombies have now taken over the world so it's Apocalypse-as-usual, stealing ideas and scenes from The Road Warrior and the modern Dawn of the Dead among others. Milla's haircut gets an 'A' for Awful but the intense action returns to the level of the first film (with many callbacks to that picture) plus some decent effects, a nifty ending, and that unsurpassable little red dress.

Review by Mickey J. Brijandez ★★★★★

La mejor de la franquicia, o sin duda mi favorita después de la primera. Claro, pueden aventar Mad Max rip-off todo lo que quieran pero si alguien tenia derecho a "homenajear" el post-apocalipsis desértico y motorizado del Dr. George Miller, era su co-paisano Russell Mulcahy, ambos forjados en la explotación australiana a.k.a. Ozploitation. Quizás mas famoso por su parteacuático trabajo en los videoclips de MTV que definieron los ochentas, Mulcahy tiene unos cuantos títulos intrigantes en su filmoteca; The Shadow, Highlander y, mi preferida, Razorback.
