Good movie but grossly overrated

Blistering performances.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This review contains spoilers.Resident Evil: Extinction is the sequel to 2004's Resident Evil: Apocalypse. Resident Evil: Extinction is the third movie in the Resident Evil movie series and takes place after a time lapse from the second movie. The T-Virus has devastated the world and survivors are roaming a post-apocalyptic world. The Umbrella Corporation is continuing its experiments across numerous underground laboratories similar to The Hive in the first movie.Resident Evil: Extinction once again stars Milla Jovovich as Alice in the leading role. She has separated from the other survivors and Alice seems to be developing powers on her own. The survivors head for an underground laboratory to survive. The beginning of the movie already has problems for anyone following the continuity of the series. The movie came up with a reason to change the setting to the desert by making the T-Virus somehow devastate the world. Somehow a virus that reanimates dead tissue can do this even when Racoon city was contained by The Umbrella Corporation, somehow spreads across the world. The Umbrella corporation is surprisingly well funded despite being horribly incompetent.If the audience can get past this jump they still need to deal with the incomprehensibility of the plot. The story can throw anything at the audience and force them to accept it because of the T-Virus. Alice is able to bond with the T-Virus and gain superpowers form the T-Virus. This does not make sense. If the audience can get past the nonsensical plot, the other components of the movie are decent. The acting is not good but it is acceptable for bringing the action to the forefront. The action is, for the most part, well-directed and engaging to watch. The setting is especially fresh with the movie utilizing its barren desert setting well. The desert backdrop is easily the best part of Resident Evil: Extinction.This movie does deviate from the past two entries in having almost nothing similar to the video games from a story standpoint. The only similarities is the visual style of the monsters being copied from the video games.Resident Evil: Extinction is a barely recommended movie. It requires the audience to disregard the plot in order to have a good time with the action set pieces.

Need further clarification? When your source material is primarily focussed on zombies and undead creatures, you should utilise that. The inclusion of and genre shift into science fiction decreases the believability of any situation down to zero. Hear me out. Five years have passed since 'Apocalypse' and the world is undergoing desertification. Alice finds a small convoy of survivors and tags along, unknowingly getting closer to the Umbrella corporation. Alright, so my main problem now is that Alice is overwhelmingly invincible. She discovers new abilities that pretty much turns her into a female telekinetic zombie kicking crow burning badass terminator. Any situation now going forward, I know she'll be just fine...problem is, I no longer fear what happens on screen. The supporting characters are lifeless so any demises that are met are just pretty to look at (in a non-sadistic way). Watching Milla Jovovich growing as an action star still remains this series' best quality. The post-apocalyptic deserted wasteland looked authentic and suited the film's environment well. We finally have ourselves a memorable antagonist, who then turns into one of the video games' greatest bosses, Tyrant. Shame they really didn't execute it well, let's ignore that part for now. Iain Glen as a villain always works, I mean look at 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider'. The action is well filmed and I especially loved the entire scene involving the infected crows. Probably the most memorable segment of the film. I just wish they stuck with just zombies instead of all this convoluted cloning rubbish which only gets more insanely stupid as the franchise progresses. So yes, technically this film is one of the more competently directed and executed chapters but, again, does suffer from narrative stumbles, expositional flashbacks and a ludicrous pointless science fiction vibe that just doesn't stick well with me. Bring back Nemesis I say!

This is the First movie in the complete rest line / Series of Resident Evil, who is not anymore Canon with the CGI Movies or the Games! The Real Character Movies themselfs are good. But they are only BASED ON! They have more and more nothing anymore to do with the True Game / CGI Story... Worst of all. Its a fact. That more or less, from this movie on is All about Alice. Leaving complete any logic behind.

Resident Evil Extinction manages to dumb down the plot, action, and characters since the last film, which is an impressive "accomplishment". As hard as I try to get invested in this post- apocalyptic series, the series just keeps getting dumber.'Extinction' picks up a few years after the end of 'Apocalypse' as Alice left her group in hopes of keeping them safe from the remnants of Umbrella Corp, who are tracking Alice in order to produce more of the anti-virus. Meanwhile, Alice's life of solitude has apparently given her telekinetic abilities. Yes, it's just that ridiculous. But even with another new setting in the desert (ala Mad Max), the plot never takes any exciting twists and turns. In fact, I'm not entirely sure what any of the characters were ultimately trying to accomplish.Characters that I thought were supposed to be important are either non- existent or given anti-climatic deaths. Plus, the zombies (or whatever they are calling the undead creatures) are now able to run around and climb on top of cars and buildings? I don't know about that.Do I enjoy seeing Milla Jovovich in this role? Of course. She's been a constant bright spot through each of the first three films, but I find it hard to believe that it's enough to give a film like this a positive review. Iain Glenn is fittingly over-the-top, but why in the world does he turn into a prototypical monster in the end? At that point, the film is expectedly off the rails. Well, that's enough ranting about a film I could care less about.+Milla always impresses-What is the arc for the movie? Or any character at all?-Nothing unique4.6/10
