Resident Evil: Cinematic Decimation

Rating: 2/10 (6 January 2009)

I like zombie films. In fact, I love zombie films. So, naturally , when Resident Evil: Extinction came out, I immediately went to the local cinema and watched it. I wasn't expecting anything great -- I had anticipated the unwelcome development of the 'Alice' storyline since watching Resident Evil: Apocalypse -- but I wasn't expecting anything this bad. Here's why this film sucks: 1) The zombies are not at all scary; the make-up and choreography is appalling. 2) The 'Alice' storyline is f*cking ridiculous -- Milla Jovovich has become some sort of superhero (and has had some weird airbrushing effects done to her). 3) The plot has become boring. Not terrible, not some huge abomination... just boring. There's no development or anything. For those of you considering watching this: don't. Go watch a proper zombie flick, like Dawn of the Dead (either version) or 28 Days/Weeks Later.
