A definite improvement over 1 and 2. Still if it wasn't for milla, Larter and Fehr the film itself would be sucked of all its life.

I wouldn't watch this movie again. I could forget that it even exists. It offers nothing new and exciting to the Resident Evil series and has less action than the prequels. The idea that the world is now a desert because of the T-virus I wouldn't watch this movie again. I could forget that it even exists. It offers nothing new and exciting to the Resident Evil series and has less action than the prequels. The idea that the world is now a desert because of the T-virus seems very far-fetched because it violates the simple of rule that water brings life: there were still oceans. And the fact that the movie took place in the desert areas of the US didn't help in convincing me.… Expand

Its entertaining, and spooky, but the special effects aren't too good. some of the logic of the people is strange, but overall an entertaining action flick.

I have never laughed so hard in my life during a movie in theater, i had to get up and leave come back, leave, come back and then eventually have to leave due to angry fans, the scene i am talking about involves a zombie attempting to master I have never laughed so hard in my life during a movie in theater, i had to get up and leave come back, leave, come back and then eventually have to leave due to angry fans, the scene i am talking about involves a zombie attempting to master a "fisher price" shape recognition game, the writers should be given medals for attempting to domesticate zombies with serious acting (smiling zombies = laughter). It was a good action movie if you don't mind a couple boring scenes and repetitive kills, a comedy for the ages and overall great time at the theater.… Expand

I will give this film a negative to average review. It is just another action movie. It is not really a horror film. Maybe the next film will gather maybe a positive review for once.

Not bad...but not great...Out of the three RE movies, this one stands at its mediocrity.

It's daring in the sense that most of the horror takes place during daylight. The film introduction of some key characters in the Resident Evil universe is nice to see.

The film introduction of some key characters in the Resident Evil universe is nice to see. Even though the zombies are supposed to me more evolved, they're boring and all look relatively the same. This wasn't anything too worthy of the RE name, and some plot points just don't seem to fit with the mythology.… Expand

Being the most entertaining Resident Evil in the whole unnecessary franchise isn't a large feat, as the characters and ideas take a back seat to the solid special effects and enjoyable action.

An enjoyable ride but fast forgotten. They got the action and horror elements right. However the plot and especially the bad guys plans get worse with each movie. The acting is O.K. while some dialogues are really bad. The third movieAn enjoyable ride but fast forgotten. They got the action and horror elements right. However the plot and especially the bad guys plans get worse with each movie. The acting is O.K. while some dialogues are really bad. The third movie continues the story. The T-Virus has spread across the entire world, killed most life and crated a barren wasteland. Alice played by Milla Jovovich has abandoned her companions as she is monitored by Umbrella and struggling with her new powers. Meanwhile Umbrella is also struggling while still be in the relative safety of their hidden underground facilities. Alice joins a new group of survivors and the story begins to take momentum. Like I said the story is mostly a vehicle for the action and horror. This is not a huge problem as this makes the movie enjoyable. There is no need for a great story as Resident Evil was always about B-movie appeal;-). The actors are well chosen and deliver what they could. All missteps I would put on the scrip and dialogues. Milla Jovovich rocks as always and I think it is a role made for her. Ali Larter was a good Claire Redfield and Iain Glen as Dr. Isaacs is a well done villain. Like his struggles and plots to archive his goals. Bonus point for the climax, final battle and resolution here which can be described as team-effort ;-). Sadly they do not use this well in the next movie. My negatives are the plans and plots of the bad guy. With each movie it gets more complicated and senseless. It is like pretending you planed all of this when in reality you have no idea how this happened. Like I said it does not need a masterful story but believable motives for the bad guys are a staple of the games. Overall this was an enjoyable movie that we have fast forgotten. We watched it in cinema and I asked all of my friends if they remembered this movie or thought about it. While they remembered it everyone had not thought about it since then (except when we watched the next one). This is my conclusion as it is a solid experience but nothing special and nothing awful either.… Expand

Ну очень смешная комедия. Персонажи отупели окончательно, на экране творится какой-то бред. То, чем пугали ещё в 2002 году, тут происходит по той же схеме.

Extinction est la suite de la suite du premier et les évènements y prennent un tour nettement rocambolesque (mais c'est involontaire) pour ne pas dire délirant, surtout à la fin, une fin assez drôle puisqu'Alice affronte (c'est devenu uneExtinction est la suite de la suite du premier et les évènements y prennent un tour nettement rocambolesque (mais c'est involontaire) pour ne pas dire délirant, surtout à la fin, une fin assez drôle puisqu'Alice affronte (c'est devenu une habitude) le très méchant boss de fin comme dans les jeux vidéo idiots dont est inspiré évidemment cette suite de la suite du premier épisode.

Extinction se donne également des airs de Mad Max avec des zombies mais des airs seulement, car le talent et la réalisation ne suivent pas vraiment : Extinction reste un nanar à l'insu de son plein gré, quoi qu'on en dise. Alice y rencontre en tout cas un autre personnage de la série vidéo-ludico-guignolesque, à savoir Claire, campée par la très jolie blonde qui jouait dans les premières saisons de Heroes, voilà qui n'est pas pour déplaire.

La réalisation est moins pénible que le précédent Resident Evil puisqu'elle a été confiée à Russell Mulcahy, le tocard bien connu des Highlander avec Christophe Lambert (difficile de faire pire comme carte de visite mais tout est toujours possible...). Réalisation moins pénible donc, moins nulle à chier mais encore très perfectible, c'est décidément ballot.

En outre, cet épisode souffre de quelques baisses de rythme assez regrettables... en conséquence de quoi le bilan n'est pas très flatteur malgré Milla qui se démène ici et là comme une diablesse.… Expand

While it delivers some nice landscapes visuals and some nice action here and there this doesn´t reach the level of the first one or most of the games for that matter.
