Walking around without a soul....

Rating: 3/10 (14 September 2016)

The Umbrella corporation is one of the most powerful companies in the world. Unknown to the world, it's success is due to a secret underground lab where viral weapons are tested and made.
A new virus that the company created escapes, turning hundreds of scientists into flesh hungry zombies.
The main computer shuts down the labs for risk of infection. A special task force is sent in to shut down the main computer and quarantine the deadly virus.
What awaits them is beyond ordinary procedure......
After seeing this with fresh eyes after nearly fourteen years, it's a wonder just to how this franchise has lasted for six, that's six movies.
Aside from the admittedly impressive laser defence scene, the film consists of nothing more than incoherent flashbacks, terrible techno dance music that we all had to endure from films like this back in the late nineties/early Noughties, Rodriguez acting tough because of that films about cars, and dogs covered in jam.
And then there is Jovovich, whom on hindsight does nothing more than scream, pout, run around in slow motion, and let her clothes fall off.
It's a teen boys dream, but for everyone else, it's nothing more than a noisy, irritating mess, with a silly CGI beast at the end with a big tongue.
It's a shame really, because I thought I like this when I first saw it, and I'm not looking forward to going back to the sequels because I thought they were silly, but had some camp value to them.
Will there ever be a decent video game adaptation that isn't a guilty pleasure?
