Staying on the road was the only way to stay alive

Rating: 6/10 (5 May 2008)

**SPOILERS** A lot like the 1981 Mel Gibson apocalyptic auctioneer "Road Warrior" the movie "Resident Evil: Extinction" has to do with an experiment gone wrong; terribly wrong.
Having mistakenly released the deadly T-Virus out of their main laboratory in Racoon City the Umbrella Cooperation is now trying to find an antidote to it in order to save the last few uninfected human survivors still left. One of the head honcho's of the UC Dr. Isaacs, Lain Glenn, is secretly experimenting with those infected by the T-Virus in order the make them obedient slaves to their masters, the cooperations, when and if a cure is found to keep, if not eradicate, the T-Virus in check.
The key to finding a cure for the T-Virus is the now escaped head of security of the UC Alice, Milla Jouovich. Cloning scores of Alices' by Dr. Isaacs have all failed with them being killed, running through a deadly obstacle course, in trying to find out that their a perfect replication of Alice. It's the real Alice that Dr. Isaacs wants and to find her he'll use every means at his disposal to track her down even if it means going against the orders of his superiors at Umbrella Corps.
Alice after a close and deadly encounter with a number of flesh-eating virus infected zombies and mutant wild dogs makes her way to this caravan of human survivors in the Nevada Desert. It was while Alice was out on her own she came across a booklet with transcribe radio transmissions from Alaska. The radio transmissions say that Alaska is the only place on earth that the T-Virus hasn't been able to penetrate. Giving this very vital information to the leader of the desert caravan Clair Redfield, Ali Larter, Alice has her decide to travel up north to finally get away from then tens of thousands of flesh eating zombies that roam the now almost totally deserted, of human beings, United States.
Exciting run to daylight by the trucks cars and oil-tanker of the, what seems like, last human survivors of the continental US with tens of thousands of zombies either hot on their tail or in their face. Alice & Clair gets the convoy as far as Las Vegas where it ends up being stuck in five to ten feet of loose and shifting desert sands.
Forced to make a stand the caravan survivors are almost wiped out by the rampaging and almost unstoppable zombies thirsting for their flesh since, from the looks of them, they haven't eaten in days. Alice saves the day by getting the few survivors out and then together with Carlos, Oden Fehr, runs the gantlet in smashing into the UC main headquarters and experiment center just outside of Vegas.
With the remaining survivors safely put on one of the UC helicopters and out of harms way Alice makes her way into the heart of the experiment center. It's there that she finds out what Dr. Isaacs, who had morphed himself into an outer space alien-like monster, had planned to do to both her as well as himself to, in his own unique and insane way, single-handedly take over the world!
The films confusing story is saved by its very effective and heart-stopping action scenes. Alice with her both super 9mm automatics and ferocious looking Gurkha bolo's, machetes, is more then a match for the hundreds of wild and screaming zombies that she has no trouble at all putting away. It's only later when Alice confronts the what seemed to be indestructible Dr. Isaacs, looking like the intergalactic stowaway monster in the movie "Alien", that she finds she has her hands full in trying to take him out.
***SPOILERS**** It turns out that Alice has a friend that the megalomaniac Dr. Issac had completely overlooked in his attempt to both capture and, after he got what he wanted out of Alice, do her in. That friend not only rescues Alice but together with her help will not only put a stop to the rampaging T-Virus but the, what's left of them, top men of the UC; who's mad and self-serving experiments had created it in the first place.
