DVD: Resident Evil: Extinction

Resident Evil: Extinction stars Milla Jovovich, Oded Fehr, Ali Larter, Iain Glen and is directed by Russell Mulcahy and written by Paul W.S. Anderson (who wrote the first two).

Resident Evil: Extinction is the third movie in this trilogy based on the popular video game by Capcom. The first movie they tried to contain/experiment with the Virus, the second the virus broke out and they tried to escape the Apocalypse. Now this this newest addition to the Resident Evil series they are to avoid Extinction.

Extinction has everyone that is actually living always on the run. The world is now a complete wasteland, food and gas are scarce. From the beginning we learn that The Umbrella Corp. has a working underground facility working on a cure stop the T-virus, they are using clones of Alice to find the cure. The doctor in charged Dr. Isaac's (Iain Glen) has been working with dozens of clones of Alice trying to make the Zombies less violent.

Alice (Milla Jovovich) is staking the land by herself, so that the Umbrella Corp. can't follow her, when she reaches a abandoned gas station she finds a journal saying that their is a place were its virus free but its in Alaska. Later Alice joins up with some of her old friends Carlos Olivera (Oded Fehr) and L.J. (Mike Epps) and meets with Claire Redfield (Ali Larter) who has set up this party of unaffected human to travel safely from spot to spot. Alice tells them of the place up in Alaska. They decide to take the chance and go, but first they must restock up with supplies. The closest place to do that is Las Vegas.

Waiting for them is some of the Umbrella Corp. Scientist including Dr. Isaac's as they set a trap to capture Alice who they thought before had died. So what starts is for Alice to finish the battle between herself and the Umbrella Corp. once and for all.

Again we see another Resident Evil movie. While I thought that since Apocalypse was getting a little bit better than the first one, maybe Extinction would follow that trend and be better than the second movie. While some parts, most the action seem to be fun and exciting I thought that the movie as a whole was a down grade from what we saw from Apocalypse.

One thing that they changed with the third movies was the type of zombies. Towards the end they used a newer breed of zombies that Dr. Isaac's had made by giving them some of Alice's blood, thinking it was a cure. This make the zombies more quicker and able to think. Which makes anything better from the zombies from the first and second films.

One main issue I had with this movie was with, what the hell happened to the character Jill Valentine and Angie, they gave us nothing. Not even a small notice to what had happened with the characters. I was really pissed off. Another thing was what the hell was up with all the force power Alice was using. The whole movie was turning into a movie with Alice and she can bend time and move crap with her mind, give me a break.

Most likely, this Resident Evil series will continue, maybe not with Milla Jovovich but I think they will continue this. Throughout Extinction I was rolling my eyes at how stupid things were getting as this series is continuing. Extinction is a Skip.

I thought that the DVD is a really decent set of features on the Resident Evil: Extinction DVD. The one thing I was really excited about after I finished watching it was the Sneak Peak of the first feature film of a CGI Resident Evil movie called Degeneration, in my opinion I think this for me could bring the series back to what I think it should be at, I swear that guy is Leon from Resident Evil 4, I can't wait. Everything else for me was just so-so, not bad but then again not that good either. I would say Resident Evil: Extinction is at least a Rent.
