Ouch

Rating: 4/10 (27 September 2007)

That's pretty much what it felt like as the movie commenced. I didn't have high hopes for it and was well aware that the camera would be mainly centered around Alice.
The rest of the characters did as much as they could, as well as they were able to. Ali Larter did an OK job as Claire, definitely better than Jill in the second movie.
There are a few scenes that are quite interesting, like how do all those people survive, the problems they face (lack of food, fuel and whatnot) but when it gets a bit exciting BOOM back to mad scientists who try to domesticate zombies (seriously though they even managed to make that zombie have that 'cute' - in an awfully twisted, humorless way - look in his eyes. It takes away the atmosphere! Another minus for the film. Wesker. This hurt the most. The actor in no way was similar to Wesker, not in his looks but neither in his actions. From the genius he is in the games they turned him into a dumb guy who has no control about Umbrella whatsoever.
I would have very much liked to see whether the Claire and Co made it to Alaska in the end. A short scene would have sufficed, but instead we are presented with hundreds of Alices. If a fourth part will be made I wonder how they will deal with this, because I don't think Alice will like hundreds of her clones running around after she has eventually destroyed the Umbrella Corp.
