The zombie dogs are back, and those are always fun. It's a nice change to see this horror movie set mostly outdoors and during the daytime. Nonetheless, what he's put together here is an efficient, professional sequel with decent action, gore, and production values.
To say that this is one of Mulcahy's least idiotic movies may be damning it with faint praise (anyone else remember 'Ricochet', the boneheaded action flick that climaxed with an arm-wrestling match between Denzel Washington and John Lithgow?). Anderson, but directed this time out by Russell Mulcahy of 'Highlander' fame. 'Extinction' is once again written by series mastermind Paul W.S. All of this leads to a confrontation in Las Vegas, the city long since abandoned and swallowed by the desert. Needless to say, she isn't particularly interested in helping the cause. Smarter and faster than the usual lumbering brain-eaters, these new monsters pose a greater-than-usual threat to our heroes, but the formula hasn't quite been perfected yet, and for that Umbrella wants Alice back. This time around, they've been testing a biological serum that will domesticate and control a new breed of super zombies for use as weapons.
Naturally, she'll soon cross paths with her old friends to face off against the remnants of Umbrella, hiding in a new Hive fortress beneath the Nevada sands.įor their part, the baddies haven't abandoned their nefarious plans and are still up to no good. Our girl Alice (Milla Jovovich) is still about as well, mostly keeping to herself as she learns to develop the superhuman telekinetic powers caused by genetic experimentation performed on her by the evil Umbrella Corporation. (Mike Epps) cruise the highways in a convoy of modified and armored vehicles. In 'Mad Max' fashion, a band of survivors including returning characters Carlos Olivera (Oded Fehr) and L.J. Soon after, we learn that the T-Virus infection has spread rapidly around the planet in the elapsed time, essentially wiping out most of mankind and leaving the world a barren desert wasteland overrun by zombies. The picture begins with a strange replay of the first movie that eventually culminates in a clever twist. 'Resident Evil: Extinction' picks up a few years after the end of the last franchise entry, 'Resident Evil: Apocalypse'. Here it is in a nutshell: Better than the second movie, not as good as the first.
