Just Enjoyable

Rating: 8/10 (22 September 2007)

Since I'm not really one to play video games, you'd think this movie wouldn't appeal to me. It did. If you don't think too deeply about the writing, it's possible to enjoy the movie.
In this third Resident Evil installment, we get more but it's not just more of the same. Visually it's brighter movie because a lot of it takes place outdoors in the sun. It does flow like a video game, but the story evolves and should keep anyone interested. It's a good balance between action, story, and special effects.
In this installment, Alice (Milla Jovovich) joins up with some old friends and survivors of the infection. While together, they agree that Alaska may provide hope for them, but not before they make one more stop for supplies. As in the other movies they must confront the infected zombies as well as the corporation which is to blame for their existence. The movie is packed with action and conflict. It's worth seeing in theaters. It's even worth buying if you like action & adventure. It's a movie to sit back and enjoy without asking yourself a lot of questions as to why or how. Just take it at face value and it plays out well.
