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…

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…

I just don't understand the hate for this movie franchise. Its actually awesome!

I have seen the first 3 movies in the space of 3 days (1 a day) and I have enjoyed all of them. There is so much fun to be had and Milla Jovovich is a true action star.
I gave the original movie 4 and a half stars, the second film (Apocalypse) 3 and a half stars and now I'm going to give this one 4 stars.

The ideas in this film are awesome. I love the idea that the Alice character we've been following is part of something bigger and crazier than she- and the audience- could ever have imagined. The writing here is smart…
