Editorial Review:

Movies based on computer games generally aren't well respected, but just because they aren't high art doesn't mean they can't be highly enjoyable. The only catch is that you need to be a fan of computer games to appreciate them. Resident Evil: Extinction is the third movie in the massively popular Resident Evil franchise, and it's probably the best one yet.

Between Resident Evil: Apocalypse and Extinction, the zombie-creating T-virus has spread far beyond the doomed Raccoon City; now the human race is almost extinct (hence the title). When a convoy of survivors meets up with the genetically-altered Alice, the shadowy Umbrella Corporation does everything in its power to take them down and reclaim her; but Alice isn't giving up without a fight...

Resident Evil: Extinction is part zombie movie, and part post-apocalyptic survival yarn. The big set pieces use CGI that doesn't look anything like reality, but does look very much like a computer game, which is possibly intentional--since this is a sequel to an adaptation, Resident Evil: Extinction does tend to assume a built-in audience which is already familiar with the various quirks of the franchise. If you're a fan of the games, you'll enjoy the various references to game characters and events; if not, you might feel a bit left out. It's not the best entry point to the franchise if you're a complete newcomer, but if you've seen the other films, it's a hell of a lot of fun. -- Sarah Dobbs

• THE WORST OF THE 3
  I never was a fan of the RESIDENT EVIL films (never played the games), although there are worse zombie films out there, there's also a lot better ones. This one marks the bottom of the series (and hopefully the end). I expected a LOT more after the promising promotion this title went through, and it fully disappointed. Milla Jovovich and Ali Larter are great - as usual - but it takes more than that to make an excellent zombie flick. If you're looking for excellent zombie films stick to George Romero's or... more info

• Lame entry to a series that needs to die
  Recently I've been handing out so many positive reviews that one would almost think I'd been paid by these companies to endorse their products (nervous laugh). Anyway, doing too much good starts to make me feel uncomfortable, so recently I've been looking for an unequivocally bad product that I can really vent my spleen on. So thank you Paul S Anderson for creating Resident Evil: Extinction and allowing me to take a massive dump all over it.
  Now, despite everything I'm about to say in this review, I'd... more info

• RE 3
  Not too bad, Watched it at the cinema first with a group of friends and I was the only one that enjoyed it, yet i was the only die hard zombie + Resident evil fan there. So This ones for fans only.

• The Best one so far...
  This film deserves so much more credit. 3 Stars ? What the hell is going on , this film is wicked. Its full of action and horror. Best of the resident evils , oh but wait i guess people would rather watch something stupid like 'SHROOMS' or 'WAZ'. If they make a number 4 that would be just wicked !!!
