boe_dye's review... NOT SYNOPSIS

Rating: 6/10 (23 September 2007)

See, i have taken to making sure people know that my reviews are what i thought of the film... to many people read these things not understanding that there is a little synopsis link somewhere on the main page and by me telling you what you already know isn't much of a review...
Well, the movie wasn't all that bad. if you go into it thinking that it's going to be anything more then what the previous two have already been then you are quite deluded. there really isn't much more to this film then it's predecessors.
Zombies, guns, blood and Milla Jovavich looking good a kicking arse.
Something that has been somewhat pandemic in these types films as of late are the action sequences. they are a bit overwhelmingly to much 'in your face'. yeah it looks quicker, and can be more intense, but after a while it just gets kinda annoying.
The story line however is dwindling. sure sure, you don't really go into a film like this expecting gross amounts of character development. and story and plot tend to be backseat to lottsa action. but you still need something of a story. without that you are basically watching a porno, and who really wants to do that anyway? Now, while the storyline is dwindling what was there really didn't have any closure. yea, the people flew away, but so what? at least in the first and the second you had a general idea of what happened with the cast.
And of course, they left it open for yet another sequel. if they do get around to making it, i will certainly be hesitant to see it if they base it on the absurdity of the ending of this one...
However now that i think of it, if they do make a fourth one this could simply be a segue-way between 2 and 4 which would, at the very least be an explanation to the thin storyline.
...You know, make something on the cheap just to keep people interested in the franchise...
Other then that there isn't much left to tell. essentially in the end it was more of the same. if you enjoyed the first two, you will probably enjoy this one as well. if you feel that you suffered through either of the first two then you will probably suffer even more, and unless you are sadomasochistic i wouldn't advise it.
