Milla Jovovich returns in this, the third and final instalment of the popular video game adaptation.
Milla Jovovich straps on an old gun-belt, puts on a pout and takes her midriff into another battle with crazed zombie hordes in 'Resident Evil: Extinction', proof positive that given a committed fan base, even the shoddiest of films can hop, skip & jump their way to a franchise. It begins promisingly enough; with Alice (Jovovich) clones meeting a variety of imaginative deaths at the hands of evil 'Umbrella' corporation scientists (whose T-virus began the zombie epidemic). Alice clone premise / synaptic memory link is borrowed from 'Alien: Resurrection' and proves to be quite poignant later on. Meanwhile, original GM Alice is hiding out in post apocalyptic Nevada; now a completely desolate wasteland (think 'Mad Max' or 'The Planet of the Apes' 'Forbidden Zone') overrun by zombies. Our badass, high kicking heroine soon stumbles across a desert caravan of survivors including 'Heroes' Ali Larter, Ashanti, 'Mortal Kombat's' Johnny Cage; Linden Ashby and 'RE' veteran Oded Fehr, back as 'Special Tactics Rescue Services' operative Carlos Olivera. Now had this movie displayed an ounce of wit; it could've featured someone kneeling in anguish before a sunken statue of Liberty replica, damning the human race all to hell, for so shameless is the 'borrowing' that more than half the fun stems from silently checking off all the sci-fi & horror movie riffs they've managed to steal in a mere 94 minutes. 'Highlander' director Russell Mulcahy brings some artistic skill to the proceedings, and a well shot bird attack is almost as good as the flying alien swarm in 'Pitch Black'. Now I've never been a fan of the series or an avid 'Resident Evil' player, and I'm more or less alone in thinking 'Resident Evil: Apocalypse' was best of a mediocre bunch. Paul W.S. Anderson (auteur of the original and writer/producer on both sequels) has strung out 'RE' for far too long and his franchise, along with the zombie genre revival itself, is well and truly over. I hope Milla & co. found their way to Alaska (though hopefully not to the town where they have '30 Days Of Night') but we really don't need another movie to find out: No more please Milla, for if you must shoot a sequel, than make 'Ultraviolet 2'. 'Resident Evil: Extinction' may prove enjoyable for fans, but is bit of a chore for everyone else.
