Maybe best served in 3D, but I saw it in 2D

Rating: Null/10 (14 August 2011)

I'm really surprised that so many people evaluate this movie as Great. They probably do refer the 3D version of it - slow motion sequences and lots of nonsense and illogical action indicate it was designed solely to impress in 3D. So basically this is meant to be a 3D Tech Demo.
I saw the movie in 2D and was not impressed at all. The Resident Evil series is not great, but first and third parts of the series are "good enough" and "clever enough" to be enjoyed on a lazy afternoon. This part begins nowhere (actually the begin is the ending of the previous part) and ends nowhere as well. The rest is slightly illogical way from start to end with some mostly irrelevant zombies and mess assembled from parts of better movies like Die Hard, Blade 2, Matrix, Pandorum and other favorite movies of the script writer. I think I saw even some parts of advertisements and music videos here and there. Is it enough to mix different scenes to create a "great" movie today? The Saw movie series was interconnected as well, but every part of it was reasonable stand alone story.
There is no need to describe silliness of the movie in detail - it has been done here multiple times. The problem I see is that the series is gradually changing from zombie apocalypse movie to something like Bourne series. The world may be in ashes with almost no survivors and no solution in sight, but Umbrella with its unlimited resources, choppers filled with fresh soldiers, always perfectly clean labs and really well dressed villains does not care. It is interested only in capturing Milla for some reason. It is not horror or apocalypse movie anymore.
Except for completely artificial action scenes the movie is illogical, uninteresting and boring. It is probably weakest part of series - worse that the second one and completely irrelevant. You may just skip this movie to the next one and you will not even notice it.
