  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 Felipe ★★½

  An improvement over Apocalypse. The action is better and I like the visuals. But It's just kinda average.

  It doesn't have the mystery or tension that the first one had (and I didn't really love that one) so while it's better than the second one, it just feels like it exist to keep the series going and not much else.

  Once again the characters are very uninteresting, but the Mad Max-like postapocalyptic desert is pretty cool.

  The part when the guy spliced Wesker's words to make a new sentence was fucking hilarious.

  Review by Sean Gilman ★★★★ 6

  Russell Mulcahy does action better than Alexander Witt did in the last film, but it's too much of the smear and jumble variety for my taste. The Road Warrior desert dust and grime gives this film the most tangible environment in the series, even as it dives headfirst into CGI land, with the Hitchcock crows and mutant Ser Jorah Mormont. I admire PWSA's decision to just skip over the end of the world in an opening voiceover. The end of the last film has Alice joining a well-organized resistance group fighting a PR war against Umbrella. But never mind that: the earth is dead!

  Review by Esther Rosenfield

  I love that this series can just pivot into Mad Max without blinking. Action is much better than its predecessor, the direction in general feels more confident (if less stylish). Also this has cinema's greatest sequel tease ever.

  Review by Jake Cole ★★★½

  With Anderson back everywhere save right behind the camera, the franchise gets back on track, developing Umbrella's motivations past a Weyland-Yutani ripoff into something altogether more unfathomable as it continues to pursue the profit motive even in a world where money will never have value again. It's here that the seeds are sown for the metatextual edge that would creep into the second half of the franchise, suggesting that Umbrella and the remaining human survivors are all, in their own ways, acting out cycles of behavior in the hopes of maintaining a sense of purpose in a broken reality. Those cycles are manifested physically in the reveal of the Alice clones, which is somehow more horrific than anything in this apocalyptic zombie series to this point, and the start of the franchise considering its characters as video-game protagonists and NPCs to be recycled in a charnel house of destruction for the amusement of rudderless players putting them through the ringer.

  Action!: Anderson, Anderson, Anderson.... Andersson? - The Nerdy Paul

  So this was the first (and only) movie from the franchise I ever watched on theaters and I remember liking it, though differently to the original I barely remember a few fragments of this movie and that’s not much of a surprise, because even when this is above the second one in terms of action and actually memorable action sequences (the entire crow sequence with the badass ending and the whole Las Vegas showdown), most of the movie is very forgettable.

  WS Anderson still remains as a writer/producer on this one and he comes up with some interesting ideas I believe will get fully fleshed out on the latest entries when…
