  • Starring: Ali Larter, Milla Jovovich, Oded Fehr
  • Summary: Resident Evil: Extinction is based on the wildly popular video game series and picks up where the last film left off. Alice, now in hiding in the Nevada desert, once again joins forces with Carlos Olivera and L.J., along with new survivors Claire, K-Mart, and Nurse Betty. They set out to eliminate the deadly virus that threatens to make every human being undead--and they're out for justice as well. Since being captured by the Umbrella Corporation, Alice has been subjected to biogenetic experimentation, which has added genetically altered abilities such as superhuman strength, senses, and dexterity to her repertoire. These skills and more will be needed if anyone is to remain alive. (Sony Pictures)… Expand

    This is wall-to-wall mayhem that dashes from one stylish, splattery, nonsensical set-piece to the next, while the star attacks her silly role with the carnivorous brio of an ocelot clawing a side of ham.

    While I could probably spend an entire weekend watching Milla twirl her kukris, it's obvious from the rather lazy pacing that Anderson is growing increasingly self-indulgent with his creation.

    The actress, wielding a pair of swords like a chef from Benihana, remains a striking action heroine, though she's more convincing visually -- those taut thighs are weapons unto themselves -- than vocally.

    If it weren't for retro-gartered Milla Jovovich, I don't know why anyone would want to survive the virus that is turning humans into zombies and destroying the Earth in Resident Evil: Extinction.

    Milla has cemented Alice, and the film is excellent in action, lighting, stunts and effects. I could ask for nothing more. Saw it in theater, and on DVD, and it's a must-have for my collection. Portrays well, too, the gritty reality of the common person trying to survive against the corporate-political world intent on enslaving them. Well done by all involved, and I only wish there were more like it.… Expand

    A lot of people rate this movie really low, but seriously, if you watched the other two REs and did not like them then why would you watch this one????? Anyways, i thought it was better than the 2nd one (which was pretty lame), but was not as good as the 1st one. If you want gore, action and a thrill then you'll like it, if you're looking for horror, look elsewhere.… Expand

    A definite improvement over 1 and 2. Still if it wasn't for milla, Larter and Fehr the film itself would be sucked of all its life.

    "Resident Evil: Extinction" is so crappy, it even makes "Resident Evil: Apocalypse" look like a masterpiece.
