Jovovich returns in fine ass-kicking form in otherwise relentless entry to the tedious franchise

Rating: 6/10 (14 November 2007)

RESIDENT EVIL: EXTINCTION (2007) **1/2 Milla Jovovich, Oded Fehr, Ali Larter, Iain Glen, Ashanti, Christopher Egan, Spencer Locke, Matthew Marsden, Linden Ashby, Jason O'Mara, Mike Epps. Third chapter in the ever popular video game adapted franchise this time with Jovovich's apocalyptic heroine Alice fitted (to be tied) in a duster and roaming the scorch- ridden wasteland of Las Vegas with a reunion of sorts with Fehr & Epps heading a convoy of refugees a la "The Road Warrior" in hopes to find a new civilization while the ongoing zombie horde cum viral outbreak by the nefarious "Umbrella Organization"  led by hiss-able Glen reprising his nasty, evil genius role again  hell-bent on cloning the ass-kicking Alice for their own exploitive means. Not bad but ultimately a tad tedious retread but veteran director Russell Mulcahy keeps the pyrotechnic gore fest on full throttle overload of the senses.
