goes way beyond the game... in a good way i suppose

Rating: 8/10 (29 October 2007)

Resident Evil 3: Extinction. OK, don't read further if you don't want any spoilers. For you who are fans of the game you will be disappointed (like, a lot) from this makeover, as it goes way too far beyond the game itself. But if you're just come for the actions, it rocks. Its the kind of movies to watch with pop-corns and cappuccinos in hands.
The story is based on the 4th game Resident Evil: Code Veronica with so much plot developments. One thing that doesn't go with the game, now Alice has telekinesis power. And she uses that mercilessly. Zombies for the worst. Wish we have that in the game, lol. A lot of settings and buildings are taken from the game for us gamer fans to go 'I remember this place..' So, at the beginning of the movie, the world has ended and the zombies won. Normal humans are forced to live underground and only small groups of people are living above, pillaging every town they can find. One of the groups are led by Claire Redfield (the game:RE2) and Carlos Oliveira (RE3).
One thing led to another and finally the heroes are united to fights the Umbrella led by Wesker (RE1, RE4). Yes, Wesker is back with the cool glasses. Unfortunately they have to face Dr. Isaac first, who is super mutated (like Nemesis from RE3) in Las Vegas. The rest is usual heroes movies, lots of actions and bloods, and in the end the good guys wins. It's that simple.
If you're not into bloods and gore, this movie is not recommended of course. Duh, come on. It has R rating for for non-stop violence. But the actions are good. The endings are still hanging so it opens a chance for the next RE movie installments, if this movie makes good profit.
Overall I enjoy the movie, got up from my seat smiling. The only thing lacking is the adventure like in the game when you have to do or get something to solve a mystery. Yeah.
