Good movie, in that it does exactly what it sets out to do.

Rating: Null/10 (16 January 2011)

In the words of the Beatles, "Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about" in the lyrics from "Strawberry Fields Forever." And that is an appropriate description of this movie, a continuation of the others, inspired by the video game. Nothing is real, it is all fiction, it doesn't matter if any of it can happen or not. We watch it and appreciate it for the two female action heroes.
As the last one ends we see the hero heading for Alaska, where it is believed that the area is safe, virus-free. They receive periodic radio transmissions from Arcadia.
Milla Jovovich (now married to the writer/director Anderson) returns as Alice, super fighter and able to survive any situation. She gets a plane and flies to the coordinates in Alaska, only to find many other abandoned planes but no settlement, no 'Arcadia.' So she flies south along the coast, past Vancouver, past San Francisco, but she comes upon something in Los Angeles, a 'HELP' sign painted on the roof of a tall building. With a bit of ingenuity she lands the small plane on the roof, barely avoiding going over the edge, down to the masses of undead zombies. Congratulated on her landing she replies, "That was a crash."
Her female sidekick Ali Larter returns as Claire Redfield. She really looks like an action hero, with her nice shoulders and athletic build. Also in it are two of my favorites, Wentworth Miller as Chris Redfield and Sienna Guillory as Jill Valentine.
They eventually find that the 'Arcadia' is a ship, and it is moored offshore in Southern California, so the climax of the action happens there, after a very narrow escape from the zombies.
There is no end in sight to the series, Jovovich and Anderson can retire making "Resident Evil" movies and live very comfortably from residuals.
