Another worthy addition to the series

Rating: 9/10 (20 September 2012)

Attempting to lead survivors to safety after becoming trapped in a prison overrun with the dead, Alice and her friends stumble upon the latest mutants sent by the corporation to take her down for exposing their past projects involving her.
This is just a lot of fun with a lot of good stuff going for it. Among the best aspects here is the insanely frantic pace here that runs throughout the film which comes from the impressive encounters here. From the opening attack on the headquarters that devolves into a vicious gun-battle across multiple floors and rows of armed guards as the clones rip through the building, to the vicious brawl with the drugged associate at the airfield and the later scene in the prison all come packed With tons of action, shoot-outs, explosions and much more which is a good time here. That sets up the later scenes here with the mutants and zombies overrunning the prison from the showers which causes the flurry of gun-fighting and barricading to hold them off, the battles in the armory as well as the need to keep the main fence up before showing the big, explosive battle on the roof-top which is a great battle full of fine stunts and action so prominent in the franchise. The battle with the behemoths in the shower is fun as well, though there's plenty of fun here in the finale as the scenes in the ship where the big battle occurs between the ravenous mutant dogs and the transformed agent all make for quite a great time overall fighting with plenty of high-quality action, lots of gore, a fairly inventive monster and much more throughout here that keeps this entertaining. As well, there's a lot to like here with all the different beings and creatures found here, as the zombies look fantastic with the addition of their new tentacle-lined mouths, the new masked, hulking monstrosity that towers over everything is a great addition to the franchise and the various mutants featured here provide this one with a really nice mix of monsters to fight off here which is quite enjoyable. The last positive going on here is the rather strong storyline about the need for safety and being duped into becoming part of their plans which would be a logical follow-through to the rest of the series and makes this a lot of fun. There's really only one problem area here, which comes from this one having a lot of lengthy time waiting around in the prison before the escape which puts a halt to the action for a long period of time before it gets going again being the only thing that really hurts this one. While the CGI for the 3D gags isn't all that great either, this one turns out to be another fine addition to the series.
Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.
