The desert agrees with her

Rating: 5/10 (30 October 2007)

Everybody loves Alice (Milla Jovovich). Every time I see her I think she never looked this good. Although from a strictly logical perspective this seems dodgy at best, it's true in a way, since she keeps changing her look and refining her style. None of which helps "Extinction", of course. It has its moments, but those are the scenes reprising Alice's stunning entrance from the first movie. "Extinction" really feels like the third installment with the ideas running out. They even lifted the subtitle of the "Jurassic Park" franchise. It will be especially disappointing to those who have seen the out-of-this-world cinematic trailer. It's not so much that the trailer compresses the movie's best bits. It's more that, in retrospect, the trailer seems like a preview of an entirely different movie. Also, I'm not sold on Alice's outfit, credited to Jovovich's fashion label Jovovich-Hawk. Although it doesn't look bad, it falls way short of the red dress, no pun intended. Also, I have a nagging suspicion there is no other girl in the world who could get away with these rags. The same goes for her haircut. The role of the hard-bodied super-powered trans-human desert doll obviously agrees with her. Get over Alice, I tell myself. It doesn't work.
