Resident Evil: Extinction is based on the wildly popular video game series and picks up where the last film left off. Alice (Milla Jovovich), now in hiding in the Nevada desert, once again joins forces with Carlos Olivera (Oded Fehr) and L.J. (Mike Epps), along with new survivors Claire (Ali Larter), K-Mart (Spencer Locke) and Nurse Betty (Ashanti) to try to eliminate the deadly virus that threatens to make every human being undead... and to seek justice. Since being captured by the Umbrella Corporation, Alice has been subjected to biogenic experimentation and becomes genetically altered, with super-human strengths, senses and dexterity. These skills, and more, will be needed if anyone is to remain alive.
This whole franchise is basically an excuse to make zombie movies. They try to sugar coat it with a sci-fi type storyline, but it just about the zombies and surviving. That being said, I thought that this one was much lamer than the prior two. It started off very silly with the dog fight scene. I really don't understand this franchises' obsession with blood slicked dogs. It got a little better in the middle. Zombie birds? Did they really have to do that? Do you have any idea how birds petrify me? I couldn't even look at certain points with that. However, the movie went right back in to the toilet of silliness at the end again ruining whatever slight okayness that it might have built up in the middle . . . . . and was of course left open for a fourth installment. Lord have mercy on us.
I wouldn't recommend anyone checking this out. It was your less than average, fun of the mill zombie movie and not really worth the time. You are much better off staying away, people!
