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.

2007 Resident Evil film on DVD. by Dr. Feelgood (USA)  4 Stars
November 01, 2009
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!

Powerfull Average Entry in the RE series by Brian Martin (Houston, TX United States)  3 Stars
September 28, 2009
This was easily one of the worst movies I've seen, and the worst Resident Evil movie ever made.
This series needs a serious "reboot" and Paul S "Mediocrity" Anderson Needs to get far far away from it. Main characters that came off so well from the last movie are killed off without rhyme or reason in some anti climatic zombie rush fest. The plot has absolutely nothing to do with any of the games, and Mill jovininich phones in her performance as an Angry Alice.
You'll notice the second movie was very very close to the second game and it was still awesome for people who may have not played it. Directors like Paul seem to think they need to deviate from the games so "regular" audiences can relate to it, but that is such BS. If you tell a good story in the established game world, they'll come no matter what. I'm baffled why we couldn't have had a code veronica movie, or even a RE Nemesis movie and why we got this mediocrity.
This is defintely a rental and not a purchase, unless you're just looking to complete your collection. You're money is probably better spent on the new CG movie RE: Degeneration than this.
