The third installment in the massively popular film series based on Capcom's zombie horror/science fiction games, Resident Evil: Extinction brings the world to an end, not with a whimper but a bang, as Milla Jovovich's Alice pits her bio-organic superskills against armies of the undead in a post-apocalyptic Las Vegas. Also on hand is a more grown-up version of the games' Claire Redfield (played by Heroes' Ali Larter), who leads a convoy of humans (among them Resident Evil vets Oded Fehr and Mike Epps, who reprise their roles as Carlos and LJ, as well as newcomers Ashanti and Spencer Locke) in search of sanctuary; meanwhile, sinister Umbrella Corporation scientist Dr. Sam Isaacs (Iain Glen) seeks a cure for the zombie virus outbreak via Alice's blood, which he taps via a lab full of clones. Subtlety has never been the Resident Evil series' strong suit, but it's hard to argue against Extinction's breakneck pace and impressive CG special effects; director Russell Mulcahy (the Highlander series) lends a lot of verve to the proceedings, and the script by producer Paul W.S. Anderson pulls in agreeable touches from The Road Warrior and Day of the Dead. A hit during the summer of 2007, Extinction should please series devotees and action-horror fans alike; the DVD includes commentary by Mulcahy, Anderson, and co-producer Jeremy Bolt, as well as several making-of featurettes, and a glimpse at the next entry in the Resident Evil franchise, the CG-only Degeneration. -- Paul Gaita

 mixed review September 3, 2010
Timothy A Ziemba (San Jose, CA United States)
The blu-ray version of this movie was outstanding, very good picture and sound (not quite avatar which I believe to be as good as it gets but in the upper echelon and really well done). The movie itself is a huge letdown compared to the first 2 in the series, story, sub plots and even umbrella lost it's bang. Hopefully they will rebound with the next one.
Blu-ray video 4.5 stars
blu-ray audio 4.5 stars
movie itself - 2 stars

Nice presentation of the movies. This is a saga that improves the quality of the plot when you see them in order
 Just like zombies, this franchise just won't die! August 3, 2010

In Resident Evil: Extinction, the zombie-creating T-Virus has infected most of the planet, transforming it into a barren wasteland inhabited by the walking dead. Okay, we're already running into problems here. No virus, however mutagenic it may be, can alter the world's topography and weather patterns. Sure, now that the sole desire of 99.99999% of the people on earth is to devour flesh and sinew, there's no one around to keep greenery down or water dams functional, so there's bound to be decay within the structures of civilization. But there's no way a zombie virus can turn the entire continental United States into an arrid desert! So already, we're at an implausible start to this movie.
Our superpowered heroine, Alice, wanders this wasteland, trying to regain control of the abilities the evil Umbrella Corporation has imbued her with that are now going on the fritz. She comes across a convoy of survivors led by Claire Redfield (Ali Larter of the television series Heroes), yet another protagonist from the video games these films are allegedly based on. Carlos Oliviera (Oded Fehr) and walking stereotype LJ (Mike Epps) are also among the convoy's members, and there's an uneasy reunion between them and Alice since she had abandoned them to protect them from her flaky powers. Believing that frigid Alaska is the only place on the planet untouched by the T-Virus (but if the T-Virus can illogically affect land masses and weather, what is the likelihood that cold climates can keep the virus at bay?), our little band of Road Warriors is heading north and would love to have Alice come along to help them get there.
As Shakespeare said "Aye, there's the rub" (and this is probably the only moment you will ever find someone make an association with this franchise and anything Bard-related). We now know why the T-Virus can turn North America into a desert - to simply serve the filmmakers' desire to rip off yet another superior genre movie. If the first Resident Evil was a shameless ripoff of The Matrix and Resident Evil: Apocalypse was a shameless ripoff of Escape from New York, then Resident Evil: Extinction is a shameless ripoff of The Road Warrior. Now it makes sense!
Meanwhile in another plotline that yet again shamelessly steals from another film (this time, Romero's Day of the Dead), the remnants of Umbrella's U.S. branch seek to make the zombies smarter, and they succeed to an extent. Their zombie specimens can now run, but have become even more vicious and brutal. I guess with the "slow zombie vs. fast zombie" debate still raging among the geek masses and fast zombies appearing in the form of the "Crimson Heads" in the remade Resident Evil game, the filmmakers were feeling the pressure to include running zombies in their film.
Umbrella also seeks to clone Alice. If they can't control the supersoldier they created, then why not make a reasonable facsimile, right? And boy howdy, do they pump them out, putting each clone through a rigorous obstacle course based on Alice's trials and tribulations as seen in the previous films. Even the mirrored hallway with the many body-slicing lasers makes a return, so they've clearly ran out of ideas to steal from other films and have just decided to reuse gimmicks from the earlier films which they had already stolen from other films. Why, it's like looking into a mirrored hallway! I doubt the filmmakers even see the symbolism there.
So Alice and our wannebe Mad Maxes head for the Great White North, encountering Umbrella's cadre of zombified Usain Bolts in the sandy ruins of Las Vegas. But like just about everything Umbrella does, the Speedy Gon-zombies fail and the convoy heads for Alaska, but not before Alice can break away from them to settle her vendetta with Umbrella once and for all. Or not, since a fourth, 3D-ified Resident Evil film is only a month away from wide release as of the writing of this review.
Resident Evil: Extinction is an improvement over the frame-dropping piece of molasses that was Resident Evil: Apocalypse, but that really isn't saying much. I guess director Russell Mulcahy of Highlander fame can be credited for preventing this film from being another complete disaster, but the absurd scriptwriting by Paul WS Anderson doesn't make it easy on Mulcahy. As a huge fan of the video games, this film was another monumental disappointment, as the franchise and its helmers still seems unconcerned with making frightening, atmospheric zombie films and choose to fall back on more bankable formula of insanely big guns and Milla Jovovich's action figure status and baffling sex appeal (personally, I think she looks too tomboyish, lacking more feminine curvatures).
The gamers and fans of good films in general are begging: REBOOT THIS FRANCHISE ALREADY!
Awesome! July 15, 2010

If you liked the movies before, then you have to get this BluRay set! The amazing picture only enhances the suspense throughout the films. With hours and hours of bonus footage and picture-in-picture commentary, for around $30, this movie set was a steal! And oh yeah, Milla is amazing in these films; don't know what the series would be like without her.
