\"\"<\/a>Resident Evil: Extinction<\/em><\/strong> isn\u2019t all that good to be honest, but I do appreciate the change in scenery from the cold and dark Umbrella Corporation facilities or the decaying cityscapes, and instead taking place in the desert with Jovovich once again playing her role well enough.<\/p>\n

THE MOVIE \u2014 2\u00bd\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>Captured by the Umbrella Corp., Alice (MILLA JOVOVICH) receives genetic alterations that leave her with superhuman abilities. Hiding out in the Nevada desert, she joins forces with former cohorts Carlos (ODED FEHR) and L.J. (MIKE EPPS) as well as new survivors Claire (ALI LARTER), K-Mart (SPENCER LOCKE) and Nurse Betty (ASHANTI) to eradicate the virus that threatens to turn every human on Earth into a zombie.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: Resident Evil: Extinction<\/em><\/strong>, while not great or even that good, does at least give us a different vibe compared with the first two films. There is definitely a familiarity of the deserted, apocalyptic, landscape that has been seen many times before, but I still liked it, from the beginning, with Alice riding alone (exposition would explain why she departed from the group as seen at the end of Apocalypse<\/em> \u2013 which as a side this<\/em> movie should have been titled) and coming across a distress signal that surprisingly Alice falls for, but manages to get out and pile up the body count early on.<\/p>\n

This entry finds the departure of Paul W.S. Anderson who still wrote and produced as he was busy on other projects, with Russell Mulcahy takes over the reins well enough with experience having previously directed the two Highlander<\/em> movies and The Shadow<\/em>. Can\u2019t quite say he gave the series a breath of fresh air, but there is some minor visual flair and this one, even with the zombies and sci-fi aspects, did feel a bit more grounded compared with Apocalypse<\/em>.<\/p>\n
