Best of the trilogy? Yes (by a long shot).

Rating: 7/10 (4 April 2009)

I absolutely love the Resident Evil games (especially 4 and 5) but I did not love the 1st Resident Evil movie. (gave it a 5) Passable but that's it. The 2nd movie was edited in such a way that it was ultimately headache inducing. (gave it a 4) Could have been so much more.
I went into watching Resident Evil: Extinction with a feeling of slight dread. How did this end up being beyond decent and the best so far in the series? (not counting Degeneration).
The first thing that comes to mind is the Editing. Way better than the first 2. Better Director and effects and a better movie comes our way.
I would have rated this even higher but alas the ending "showdown" was to normal and average for me. (The VERY last sequence was right back on track though).
Overall I was shocked how much better this was than the previous ones were.
