Now revisiting the movie, I find this to actually be a much better experience, and along with the second movie the best of the series. I found it to be boring, pretentious, and just overall not a very good movie. The first time I watched this was in the theater, and I fell asleep. What is the arc for the movie? Or any character at all? Well, that's enough ranting about a film I could care less about. Iain Glenn is fittingly over-the-top, but why in the world does he turn into a prototypical monster in the end? At that point, the film is expectedly off the rails. She's been a constant bright spot through each of the first three films, but I find it hard to believe that it's enough to give a film like this a positive review. Plus, the zombies (or whatever they are calling the undead creatures) are now able to run around and climb on top of cars and buildings? I don't know about that.ĭo I enjoy seeing Milla Jovovich in this role? Of course. In fact, I'm not entirely sure what any of the characters were ultimately trying to accomplish.Ĭharacters that I thought were supposed to be important are either non-existent or given anti-climatic deaths. But even with another new setting in the desert (ala Mad Max), the plot never takes any exciting twists and turns. Meanwhile, Alice's life of solitude has apparently given her telekinetic abilities. 'Extinction' picks up a few years after the end of 'Apocalypse' as Alice left her group in hopes of keeping them safe from the remnants of Umbrella Corp, who are tracking Alice in order to produce more of the anti-virus.
As hard as I try to get invested in this post-apocalyptic series, the series just keeps getting dumber. Resident Evil Extinction manages to dumb down the plot, action, and characters since the last film, which is an impressive "accomplishment".
