A horrible follow up to two great movies. the third film is like a new pile of vomit compared to the first two.

More of the same really.

Once again lone wolf Alice teams up with a group of people trying to stop the zombie masses, the group slowly gets picked off one by one, and then it's up to Alice to take down another human who has been super-humanly mutated thanks to a bite from one of the experimental zombie prototypes.

The setting is different, which is a plus, but the film still lacks any real bite

Another visit to the realm of the popular video game. The special effects are good. The acting, especially by the enemy characters, is sadly a little cut-out. There were some long stints where people do nothing but drive around. You get nice shots of the desert, but if I wanted to visit, I would. Could have used some more human moments. Not as bad as I anticipated, but lacked a little something to put it ahead of the rest.

more of an action film than a proper zombie film. there isnt hardly any gore and thats what zombies should be the ultimate gory monster. But in this was almost a 12 age rated film it was boring and the zomies were some weired science experiment witch is to complicated to follow.

I really liked this movie; particularly the end. It makes me giggle to imagine superpower supermodels fighting evil and curing the world of the t-virus. You have to love that.

Like every movie, it had some derivative parts, like the whole Mad Max thing, and the thing with the crows made me think of The Stand, but overall it wasn't bad. You know, there are bigger helicopters, so they didn't have to kill of so many characters I like, but that seems to be the m.o. of the franchise.

I thought the beginning scene was weird - I'm still not sure what that was about, but my husband said that he thinks it's not hard to imagine some people would act like that in the absence of law and civilization.

I do think women would take care of others in a post-apocalyptic situation, and I loved Claire's character. I'm crazy about Ali Larter anyway. Also, Milla is a nice girl. We were around some of the same places for a while in Manhattan, and I was always shocked to observe how nice she was to everyone. Nasty men hit on her constantly, and instead of being like - "um, I'm a supermodel and you work at Starbucks" she was always really polite to them.

The best thing about this movie is the GIRL POWER. I love it. The story is pretty intense but it kinda lacked a steady pace of action. There is a lot of action but I wanted more. The zombies really weren't that scary and I like being scared in movies like this. I'm still looking forward to the next sequel. I hope there's more action next time around & maybe the zombies will transform into CYBER SAPIENS or something. I grade it, B-.

The third installment of Resident Evil has finally come and in all honesty, it's not all it's cracked up to be.

The successful video game franchise deals with one thing only: Survival Horror. In every sense, this genre has propelled the series to its current stature in the film industry.

In this third tale, the T-virus has spread throughout the seven

continents annihilating nearly all sentient life and turning the world into an eternal wasteland.

Traveling through a desert, the heroine, Alice, walks a lonely path as she tries to survive on her own without wanting to deal with other people.

On the other hand, a group of survivors travel by bus to search for a land not densely populated with mutated zombies while surviving members of the Umbrella Corporation attempt to contain the virus. As you may be able to tell, the story is somewhat all over the place.

The film ends with little closure, and little sense of accomplishment for the hero, as if nothing really happened and the filmmakers thought that you would be happy with it.

Not to mention, a subtle hint of another poorly done installment coming to finish the series doesn't bring much hope for Resident Evil fans.

Overall, the soundtrack was terrible. It was merely regurgitation of old horror movie music with a more electronic feel.

Extinction's effects are average at best. There was nothing special. The Survival Horror genre is supposed to make you jump out of your seat, not make you feel tired of watching monsters getting smashed, slashed and shot to death.

All in all, "Resident Evil: Extinction" might've been decent as a standalone film, but it is certainly not representative of the successful and well-done video game franchise.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

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

  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.

  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.
