Total nonsense - a ridiculous excuse for a movie.

Rating: 1/10 (11 November 2010)

I guess I have only myself to blame, but I watched this (mainly to look at Milla, although I should mention that I am a huge sci-fi fan, but knew going in that this would almost certainly be an awful example of that genre), and it was a whole new magnitude of nonsense. I was sure it couldn't be worse than the 3rd movie (which I generously rated a 2 out of 10), but it was.
***SPOILERS BELOW!***
This movie was the greatest potpourri of nonsense I have ever witnessed. Big plot elements of nonsense, steeped in little details of nonsense. The details are too numerous to mention, but here are a few of the howlers: First a bunch of Alice clones attack an Umbrella facility, and we never hear who sent them: Nonsense. These apparently have telekinetic powers, although only the last of the clones actually use them: Nonsense. The bad guy then self-destructs the facility, in the process *nuking all of Tokyo*!!: Nonsense. For no reason that is explained, the real Alice is aboard the escape chopper: Nonsense. She is turned human again, and seconds later mysteriously survive an explosive high-speed crash: Nonsense. The Umbrella corporation broadcasts a message leading survivors to one of their last secret bases: Nonsense. When our stalwart band get there, they first realize it's a trap and then promptly walk into it: Nonsense. Then they revive all the people there although they have no food or other resources and the entire world is a zombie deathtrap: Nonsense.
I could go on. Did I mention this movie is a bunch of nonsense? Of course, every scene and concept in it is utterly derivative, too. This writer/director, who is now forever barred from earning the tiniest smidgeon of respect from me, has achieved total suspension of belief. It is anti-art. Horrid, awful and contemptible in every way that matters. Absolutely the worst of the worst of meaningless commercial sewage. Crapdrivel.
1 out of 10.
