Director Russell Mulcahy takes over for the third chapter in the Resident Evil film franchise, which finds genetically altered Alice (Milla Jovovich) joining forces with Carlos (Oded Fehr) and L.J. (M... read more read more...ike Epps) to take down the Umbrella Corporation once and for all. Upon emerging from her hideout in the Nevada desert, Alice is quickly joined by old friends Carlos and L.J., as well as survivors Claire (Ali Larter), K-Mart (Spencer Locke), and Nurse Betty (Ashanti). Now instilled with super-human strength, senses, and dexterity as a result of the biogenetic experimentation conducted on her by the Umbrella Corporation, Alice and the rest of the survivors set out to eliminate a virus that threatens to turn every living human undead, and ensure that the mysterious organization pays the price for their horrific crimes against humanity. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    One of my vices is the Resident Evil series. For what they are they are fun!! Love em.
  • February 8, 2012
    This is a much more adult and gorey affair which makes it a whole lot better, the action is fast and violent with plenty of head shots and it looks quite good too. The first was OK, the second was a poor computer game hash and now this has brought the series back on form.
    Its no... read moret really like the game anymore but its a good zombie flick, the monster at the finale was abit naff but up till then its pretty tense and well made, good location work too. As usual, the next is on the way..but thats not too bad if its this good.

    Milla Jovovich reprises her role as "woman who makes sounds come out of her mouth that sound an awful lot like words." Ali Larter is "hot teen girl played by 35-year old woman." Ashanti electrifies the screen with a great performance as "girl who gets ripped inside out by 3000 zo... read morembie crows." Mike Epps is "black man with a gun and an urge to say 'aw hale naw.'" Matthew Marsden is "man who tells woman to 'RUN' while they are both climbing a water tower." and Linden Ashby gives undoubtedly the best performance of the movie by playing "good looking man with sunglasses who withholds all emotion."

    A very good western by todays standards and better than a few I have seen recently. Much more like an old school western like The outlaw Josey Wales. Good performances all round and plenty of action along the way.

    This film still did not come close to being par with the first Resident Evil, but it did improve on a few things since the second film. The film felt a bit more polished as the plot events flowed a bit better but the lack of plot and character development was not so great. The po... read moretential of this film is decent but it fails in overall quality just like the second film.

    What looked rather promising in the trailers turns out to be just another dumb zombie feast including every stereotype you can imagine: the party member who hides his bite and later dooms a lot of friends, the sacrifice with a bomb among the zombies and the totally mutated boss e... read morenemy. Even the action is so hectically edited and uninspired that you don't even care when characters suddenly disappear among a bunch of zombie attackers. At least every female in this film is extremely hot. While the set up is rather nice to look at it merely made me want to play Fallout: New Vegas and not revisit this weak excuse of a film.

    Again not so scary since it's mostly day time and it still seems like a "Sci-fi" flick to me. Anyhow, I still enjoyed this movie and it is a lot better than the previous two that was released earlier. At least for me this movie collection has gott... read moreen better so far unlike the many trilogies and sagas that went backwards with disappointment.

    An awesome dose of action and a kick-butt chick with super sonic powers! Zombie birds? that's a good one but I'm still waiting for my Zombie lions and guerrillas! A pretty decent follow up from "R.E: Apocalypse" and a nice conclusion that lets us know there's more!

    Again I watched it as a movie on it's own rather than an adaptation of the game and it was yet another treat for my spare time. Now, bring on Part 4!!

    I loved the scene where Milla Jovovich was controlling the fire. It was epic.
  • September 23, 2010
    It was a little buzzkill...Cause the movie was obviouslty 20 min too short. And it's not offen I think a movie is too short. They just build up for the big final scene...and then it's just over....But the bird scene was pretty cool and Milla has a real badass angry-face. It's a p... read moreretty good movie...but I just got pissed when it just ended...

    This was really bad ass. This was definitely better than the first two movies. I usually say that these are bad movie and that they're just meant to entertain but this wasnt actually a bad movie. One reason why is that this movie isnt stupid and takes itself seriously but still f... read moreun and is semi believable. This one was really good. B+

Resident Evil: Extinction plays like a flabby middle chapter, full of nerdy details but fraudulently short on the ruined Vegas-scape that ads have been promising. Full Review

If ever a movie was made for a quick in-and-out engagement at the multiplex, this is it. Full Review

Resident Evil: Extinction is no more interesting than watching someone else play with his Xbox. Full Review

The action is not so much bloody as bloody monotonous. Full Review

The story and characters are surprisingly engaging, with fight scenes and scares effectively placed between plot turns. Full Review

Fast-paced and filled with brisk action sequences, the film should reasonably satisfy the devotees.

It's all so much more fun when you're the one with the controller, telling the heroes what to do: Watching this stuff unfold onscreen is like sitting by while someone plays your video games without you. Full Review

The third installment in the video-game-derived series of films is not exactly dull but never interesting either.

Pic never really achieves maximum velocity as a full-throttle action-adventure opus, despite game efforts by returning star Milla Jovovich. Full Review

Facts


    • Alice: [laughs] No, You're just... another asshole, and we're both gonna die down here.
    • Chase: Climb the Eiffel Tower with a high-powered rifle. A few years ago, that would've caused a stir. Well, let the good times roll!
    • Alice: You won't have to wait that long, boys. Because I'm coming for you. And I'm gonna be bringing a few of my friends.
    • Alice: The Umbrella Corporation thought they'd contained the infection. Well, they were wrong. Raccoon City was just the beginning. Within weeks, the T-virus had consumed the United States. Within months, the world. The virus didn't just wipe out human life. Lakes and rivers dried up, forests became deserts and whole continents were reduced to nothing more than barren wastelands. Slowly but surely, the Earth began to wither and die. What few survivors there were learned to keep on the move. We avoided major cities. If we stopped anyplace too long, they would be drawn to us. Only a few at first, but then more and more. A never-ending army of undead. For those of us left, staying on the road seemed the only way to stay alive.
  • Sienna Guillory was offered the chance to reprise her "RE: Apocalypse" character, Jill Valentine, in this film. Unfortunately, her schedule clashed with that for "Eragon", so her character was eventually written out of the script.
