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

During the first two 'Resident Evil' films I had a tough time working out exactly why I wasn't enjoying them as much as I could be. It took this third chapter 'Resident Evil: Extinction' to clarify for me exactly what the problem was. The first two did not feel like movies. They felt like a video game - only without the fun of actually playing it. Like watching a friend play while you just sit there I suppose. No fun at all. Now, in this third addition to the series, they've worked out that they're actually making a FILM series here, and the finished product is all the better for it.This one plays out more like a horror film for the most part, compared to the originals which I would classify more as actions. There is still plenty of action in this one, but the overall theme does seem to be to give the audience both a fright and an excess of blood and gore. The zombies in this one were a lot better done than in the first two films as well. Finally they were genuinely menacing and had a cool look about them too.There's a tremendous amount that this film got right. It learnt from the mistakes of the previous films and it made corrections where necessary. Who said sequels can't be better than originals? 'Resident Evil: Extinction' proves that this is certainly not the case.

Resident Evil: Extinction is number three in the franchise. The world is even more bleak and the infection is hyper-epidemic proportions. Milla Jokovich is surviving off the grid and the Umbrella Corporation is still performing clandestine experiments and operations.I just saw a trailer for the latest Resident Evil which prompted me to freshen up on the franchise. I also just saw Kate Beckinsale as Selene in Underworld: Blood Wars and she is a hard act to follow. Alice (Milla Jokovich) is nice. She's skilled, strong and a major badass in her own right but Selene is a notch above.Besides the Selene/Alice comparison, I think I'm suffering from zombie fatigue. I've seen countless zombie movies and what... seven seasons of The Walking Dead? I still like the zombie genre but the Resident Evil zombies are too strong and fast for my liking (not too mention the fact they were climbing structures as well). Besides Alice's new found abilities there was nothing to really distinguish this movie.

...Finally get to rate this movie, through i seen it when it came out in threaters. Now finally i get to review this abomination. Lets begin, again this is MY OPINION through it speaks only but the truth.You got Alice who hogs everything, and sum it up even the regular and star people that this series should be about usually winds up dead.... Great... Got Carlos who is one of my favoirte in the series, cocky and cool. ... Yeh. He dies. Mike Epps, funny... he dies. .. Wow .. Got Alice walking around the earth, which i guess.. somehow in a zombie world, if the whole world is turning to zombies i mean if it happens the world even anywhere will turn to desert right? I mean zombies makes the whole world turn to nothing, sand and dust, no more grass i guess the zombies have some magical to turn everything dust.And when she fights some zombies, they are awesome looking wearing silver and blue looking space suits, that look like cheap foil wrap crap, and somehow the zombies can do karate? I mean ... really? Jill, Carlos none of the real cast of Resident Evil really does anything... Yea basically nothing. The world turned to desert magically because zombies came and turned everything desert. Pure brillliant, yea right... Coughs... Alice does all the fighting same as what i know about the rest of them after this abomination. But if people love it, all do love it mostly due to Alice legs, which is the only reason most love this trash.To me it don't make any sense nothing makes sense, zombies makes world desert how can they do that? Zombies in jump silver suits doing some flopping around looking karate? I mean really? Seriously, REALLY? Looked like a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger crap. ALl about Alice who cares. Have Carlos Jill etc do stuff make it similar to movie, have real zombies in it make it make any sense at all, that year i watched it with my younger sister both adults at time, but we loved the video game and we went to see it i wanted to leave, i didn't know if she wanted to leave too, she said if i wanted to leave she would of i was like damn little too late afterward that we talked, we both would of got up and left it was THat bad, nothing made sense flopping jump suit ninja like zombies i mean thats fake really cheap i mean come on, desert world? But if its all about Alice's legs i mean i cant hold anyone back horror is more about legs and porn and stuff, but i hate this it gets even a -100 from i really hate this movie.
