Surprisingly good sequel than improves greatly over "Resident Evil:Apocalyspe".

Rating: 8/10 (2 October 2007)

Several years has passed... When the virus spread in Raccoon City, which the city was overrun with Zombies and all sorts of Monsters. It was an huge disaster in the city. But the virus went all over the world and the world changed into one big desert. Which several city in the world like Las Vegas, Nevada is nearly cover in sand. Like Food, Gas and Water is very limited. Alice (Milla Jovovich) is still hiding from the evil Umbrella Corporation and she travels alone to find an safe place. She tries to stay away from her contacts to not endanger her friends or herself. But the last time that Alice was with Umbrella Corporation, they did some experimenting on her. Now Alice has certain power in her that she doesn't quite understand how to use it or embrace it. Alice's friends like Carlos (Oded Fehr) and L.J. (Mike Epps), along with a group of survivors are trying to find an place. Where they could live in peace and without fear. The leader of the group is Claire (Ali Larter), who tries her best to find an haven for the group. While the corrupted scientist Dr. Issacs (Iain Glen), who works for the Umbrella Corporation tries to make the perfect Alice clone and trying to make certain Zombies have a mind of their mind. But Dr. Issacs has other plans for Alice, The Umbrella Corporation and himself.
Directed by Russell Mulcahy (Highlander, Resurrection, The Shadow) made an enjoyable Action/Horror/Sci-Fi/Adventure that improves over "Resident Evil:Apocalyspe". Which the 2004 sequel was an watchable movie but in the end results... it was an mess, despite an good cast. Now the third film is closer to Paul W.S. Anderson's original picture but Mulcahy does have his own visual style as well. Anderson's screenplay certainly gives visual homages to George Miller's Mad Max Trilogy, Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, George A. Romero's Day of the Dead, the original Resident Evil movie and more. Although his screenplay is quite flawed but it is clever and exciting at times.
DVD has an clean anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1) transfer and an good Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD has an enjoyable commentary track by the director and the producers, four featurettes and deleted scenes. The last and third feature was an major international success. Critics did certainly hated this film but it is fun to watch. But the best thing in the picture is Jovovich, which she's in great shape in the film and there's a few genuine surprises in store for the fans of the "Resident Evil" movies. Despite some plot holes in the story, overall "Resident Evil:Extinction" is entertaining and it should keep the fans happy. Super 35. (*** Â½/*****).
