Three out of ten, and it's the best Resident Evil so far...

Rating: 3/10 (1 December 2007)

The RESIDENT EVIL franchise has rose to become Milla Jovovich's main staple, this is her third round as Alice as she goes for another roundabout with the flesh-eating undead. Like to the others, it creates some fine set-pieces and some good frights and Jovovich quite a looker, but that's about it, the rest is pretty much garbage. EXTINCTION is just as cold and cruel as the two first, and although the R.E. movies don't pay too much attention on blood-spilling and gore, they have a underpinned evilness to them that creates a sort of atmosphere, but any hint of creepy atmosphere is easily crushed by a sad storyline.
The Earth is all dried up and going down-under after the horrendous T-virus, now I don't know how a virus can dry up the rivers but that's another question. The few remaining survivors is always on the run, most of their time is spent by filling gasoline, eating, hiding and then filling gasoline again. Jovovich's Alice super-powered skills makes her a wanted refugee, now she's in search for a safe hideaway...
EXTINCTION features some good set-pieces, and it's enjoyable watching a zombie-movie in full daylight and the empty-world-setting works pretty good. But nonetheless; even though it is the best so far, Resident Evil is a pour and lacking franchise.
