Product Description
Milla Jovovich is back in the third chapter of the hugely successful Resident Evil franchise! This action-packed horror film is set in the Nevada desert and filled with intense special effects and more zombie terror! Las Vegas means fun in the sun. Well, at least the sun is still there. Except for a few rusting landmarks, it looks pretty much like the rest of the desert - or the whole country, for that matter. The crowds are now flesh-eating zombies: the mass undead, the oozing, terrifying sludge of what remains. Here, the newly upgraded Alice, along with her crew (Oded Fehr, Mike Epps, Ali Larter, Ashanti) will make a final stand against evil - with one goal: to turn the undead dead again.

The third installment in the massively popular film series based on Capcom's zombie horror/science fiction games, Resident Evil: Extinction brings the world to an end, not with a whimper but a bang, as Milla Jovovich's Alice pits her bio-organic superskills against armies of the undead in a post-apocalyptic Las Vegas. Also on hand is a more grown-up version of the games' Claire Redfield (played by Heroes' Ali Larter), who leads a convoy of humans (among them Resident Evil vets Oded Fehr and Mike Epps, who reprise their roles as Carlos and LJ, as well as newcomers Ashanti and Spencer Locke) in search of sanctuary; meanwhile, sinister Umbrella Corporation scientist Dr. Sam Isaacs (Iain Glen) seeks a cure for the zombie virus outbreak via Alice's blood, which he taps via a lab full of clones. Subtlety has never been the Resident Evil series' strong suit, but it's hard to argue against Extinction's breakneck pace and impressive CG special effects; director Russell Mulcahy (the Highlander series) lends a lot of verve to the proceedings, and the script by producer Paul W.S. Anderson pulls in agreeable touches from The Road Warrior and Day of the Dead. A hit during the summer of 2007, Extinction should please series devotees and action-horror fans alike; the DVD includes commentary by Mulcahy, Anderson, and co-producer Jeremy Bolt, as well as several making-of featurettes, and a glimpse at the next entry in the Resident Evil franchise, the CG-only Degeneration. -- Paul Gaita |

Great Zombie/Monster Action Fest! by Daniel G. Walimaa (Detroit Rock City, Michigan) 5 Stars
November 03, 2009
This movie was great. I liked it much better than the first two. It had the creepiest, scariest zombies in the series so far, and some very interesting twists and turns. Also, they really made you feel like it was the end of the world in this movie. The action scenes were excellent! This movie had hordes of flesh-eating zombies, mutant dogs, flocks of killer crows, and the obligatory boss monster at the end. The ending also left you with the knowledge of more ass-kicking to come and wanting to know what will happen next. If you liked the first two Resident Evil films, you will definitely like this one.

Bigger budget, better visual effects and stunt sequences does help, make this film more interesting, but the story has been told already a few times.

Going Extinct on Blu-ray by Ender84 (USA) 5 Stars
October 05, 2009
So, attempts to contain the T-virus to Raccoon City have failed. Great. Now the virus has spread throughout the world, and those who have not been effected yet live a life reminiscent of Mad Max. However, all hope is not lost when you have a saucy, zombie-butt kicking super woman wielding a set of kukri knives and telekinetic powers. Alice is back, and she's not happy.
We learn just how evil and how large Umbrella is in Extinction. Dr. Isaacs is attempting to create a anti-virus of sorts that he hopes will domesticate the undead. I wouldn't call them domesticated, but they are now slightly smarter, stronger and significantly faster! Alice must pull out all the stops if she wishes to defeat the super undead, zombie crows, outlaws, and tentacles...yes, the infamous Tyrant makes an appearance.
The majority of this movie takes place in well lit areas - an oddity for a zombie flick, but it works well. The speed and ferocity of the super undead makes up for the lack of the dark, claustrophobic confinements that we loved in the 2002 release. At times, it feels more like an action movie a la Apocalypse, but with a good dose of that good ol' Resident Evil suspense. Unlike Apocalypse, Extinction is a nice blend of action and horror that never departs from the moody Resident Evil universe.
Picture quality is phenomenal. It rivals, if not surpasses, the brilliant 2002 release. This movie is a showpiece that every HD buff should own. Clarity, detail, and color is unrivaled. The audio will blow you away as well. Bass is tight and clean - crystal clear. I hope you have a good surround setup!
The special features are what we have come to expect with a modern release, but with a twist. This Blu-ray uses picture in picture throughout the movie to show behind the scenes, art boards, and more. It is a very cool feature that I would like to see more of. Another notable feature is the 1080i, 30 minute, four part documentary about the film. As always, the filmmaker's commentary is insightful and revealing. There is no cast commentary this time, but it is not missed. Extinction easily has the best offering of special features in the trilogy.
Extinction puts the Resident Evil series back on track. They have managed to achieve a perfect blend of action, horror, and suspense all while making the ballsy decision to set it in the daytime. The picture and audio quality alone warrants a rental if nothing else. Fans of the series owe it to themselves to pick up this movie asap!
