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

Jim Ridley

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. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Equal parts "Mad Max" and "Day of the Dead," this third and supposedly final entry in the Resident Evil franchise is no less derivative than its predecessors but moves along at a brisk clip. Read full review

Joe Leydon

Unfortunately, the new pic never really achieves maximum velocity as a full-throttle action-adventure opus, despite game efforts by returning star Milla Jovovich, still a lithe and lethal dynamo when it comes to butt-kicking, zombie-slicing derring-do. Read full review

Steven Hyden

How about Resident Evil: Game Over? Read full review

Marc Savlov

Almost all of it has to do with watching the occasionally nude Jovovich look absolutely smashing in duster and sidearms, but sometimes, let's face it, that's not enough. Read full review

Empire Helen O'Hara

Better than the silly second instalment and boasting an effectively creepy empty world setting, it’s nevertheless scuppered by a lack of coherence. Read full review

Kyle Smith

Shoot ’em up, run ’em over, blast ’em with flame-throwers, who cares? These creatures are only there to go splat. Read full review

It really was better than the first two, I liked the "Birkin" monster, it was way better than the "Nemisis" monster from R.E:2. BIG BIG DOWN SIDE: telekinetic powers!!

I don't know who rated this movie a 41 but I watched it and loved it, great action sequences, good story and two very hot zombie slayers.

Its entertaining, and spooky, but the special effects aren't too good. some of the logic of the people is strange, but overall an entertaining action flick.

It's daring in the sense that most of the horror takes place during daylight. The film introduction of some key characters in the Resident Evil universe is nice to see. Even though the zombies are supposed to me more evolved, they're boring and all look relatively the same. This wasn'tIt's daring in the sense that most of the horror takes place during daylight.

Resident Evil: Extinction is a pretty shabby film, but a damn sight better than its predecessor, Apocalypse (though this isn't saying much - contracting leprosy is preferable to watching Apocalypse). The storyline is a dumb as ever, the characters and script dull and clunky. Giving mainResident Evil: Extinction is a pretty shabby film, but a damn sight better than its predecessor, Apocalypse (though this isn't saying much - contracting leprosy is preferable to watching Apocalypse). The storyline is a dumb as ever, the characters and script dull and clunky. Giving main protagonist Alice (Milla Jovovich) destructive telekinetic powers was also a mistake - making her such an unstoppable force of nature certainly limits our ability to empathise with her. The cast's performances in general are unremarkable, but at least they actually look like professional actors this time round rather than the highschool drama club-quality performances in Apocalypse. The blatant rip-off of The Birds (though the filmmakers will probably claim that it's a loving tribute) where zombie crows attack is also a new low for the series. What Extinction does have going for it is some pretty entertaining action sequences, creative and brutal zombie kills, and Milla Jovovich wielding a pair of very big knives. Russell Mulcahy (of highlander fame) is also probably the most talented director who's worked on the Resident Evil series thus far - his direction is perfectly competent, with the odd pleasing flourish. Resident Evil: Extinction is a mildly diverting post-apocalyptic film with zombies, action and simplistic, good-looking characters. Should you expect any more from a film like this? Probably not. Does it deliver any more than this? No.… Expand

This movies vies with "Starship Troopers" as quite possibly the worst movie ever made. Really. Nothing in this movie was well done, by anyone.
