The third and final installment of the $100 million RESIDENT EVIL hits, RESIDENT EVIL: EXTINCTION is again based on the wildly popular video game series and picks up where the last film left off.
Alice (MILLA JOVOVICH), now in hiding in the Nevada desert, once again joins forces with Carlos Olivera (ODED FEHR) and L.J. (Mike Epps), along with new survivors Claire (Ali Larter), K-Mart (Spencer Locke ) and Nurse Betty (Ashanti) to try to eliminate the deadly virus that threatens to make every human being undead...and to seek justice. Since being captured by the Umbrella Corporation, Alice has been subjected to biogenic experimentation and becomes genetically altered, with super-human strengths, senses and dexterity. These skills, and more, will be needed if anyone is to remain alive.

"instead of creating their own storyline, this unfortunately was far too predictable"
Unfortunately this film did not live up to my expectations. I personally loved the first film, enjoyed the second, but this is the worst of the Resident Evil trilogy. I don't understand why they wanted to do drastic leaps in time from the second film? How on earth did the entire world get swarmed into darkness and become almost a complete wasteland and why would they want to film it in such a condition? The good thing about the movie is that they are finally progressing to utilizing the t-virus to make more powerful creatures, the Tyrant for example. Also, the countless attempts to domesticate the zombies to create a living world again was a pretty cool angle, even though when I was in the cinema that part of the film received a lot of laughter as the zombie tried to use the mobile phones and put shapes into a child's toy.
The laughter ceased as the zombie couldn't get the last shape in and killed 2 of the 3 scientists trapped inside. None of the characters, including Alice were really developed. So much lack of development was there that I didn't care for any of the convoy people at all. That's a shame because they had potential with the Alice romance. The special effects in the film were good. Many beautifully airbrushed faces mixed in the with flesh eating zombies. Overall, I really hope that they re-think their plots and create something that follows a little bit of the Umbrella/Resident Evil storyline instead of creating their own storyline, this unfortunately was far too predictable for my liking. Not a flawless movie by any means, but good enough to ignore the flaws and enjoy the two hour ride.
