Nothing more than Chapter 3.

Rating: 5/10 (21 May 2013)

As a Horror fan who has learnt of Resident Evil not through the original Capcom game, but through the Hollywood films, I've very much enjoyed the first film, and very much more the second. Extinction, the third title in the Resident Evil anthology, on the other hand, has very little (if at all) cinematic value besides being another chapter in the story.
The screenplay is nice and fits right in with the rest of them, but in this case lacks the good plot twists we've learnt to expect after the first two films. The story connects beautifully with the ending of the second film, is a great start for the coming fourth, but not that goo on its own. Not much good or bad can be said about the script.
The acting by the cast is good as always, Milla Jovovich and Oded Fehr are a great as they've been before, and Ali Larter (as this film's female addition to Jovovich) isn't another Femme Fatale like in the first two films, but more of a leader. Not much good or bad can be said about the direction and cinematography.
All in all, as I've said, besides being a nice conclusion to chapter 2 and a preparation for chapter 4 - chapter 3 isn't much. Definitely my least favorite of the series so far. I very much hope that Afterlife will return to the glory of the first two films.
