BIG plot-holes and it's pretty rubbish too

Rating: 3/10 (17 September 2014)

(23%) The first movie was a half-decent throwaway zombie action horror that somehow managed to be less cinematic than the video game it was based on (particularly the vastly improved remake on Gamecube), the second felt like an R rated Power rangers movie and the third (this is the third isn't it?) looks on the outset like the makers are trying something new in a location far removed from the games, and it fails just as much as the very loosely based predecessors did. The story has almost the biggest plot-hole in film history. If the virus has turned most people and animals into zombies and killed almost all the plant life, then how can the bad guys at Umbrella survive? In-fact they not only survive without any problems at all despite Armageddon throughout the planet, but they actually have the resources to clone Milla Jovovich over and over again. Who's funding all this now that Umbrella like almost every business on the planet is now officially defunct because everyone is dead? Do zombies invest in stock markets? Where does all the power/water/food come from for these guys to be so cocksure about everything? It is a B movie so it doesn't matter that much, and it can be enjoyed as a B movie but everything feels like I've seen it all before only done better and the idea of giving Alice superpowers was a real stupid one from the very start. Stick with the games (Resident evil remake, Zero, Code Veronica and 4 are all fantastic, especially 4)
