Resident Evil: Extinction

2 is probably my favorite of the three, as it "felt" more like the games.

None of them follow the original plot written for the games, so I'll either see the mat or wait till dvd.

I know that, I'm just saying, of the three, the second was the closest to the games in terms of atmosphere (zombies running rampant in downtown Raccoon City), sequences (Code Veronica helicopter attack), and characters (Jill, Nemesis, Carlos).

I was so into Nemesis in that movie. Didn't agree with the way he went out though.

This movie is a big letdown. It just sucks actually. The plot is not cohesive and the scenes are poorly edited. I still can't stand the loud rock and techno soundtrack. It's repetitive and doesn't make the action any more exciting.

The backstory is really terrible, as it doesn't provide a solid foundation for the plot. You never really understand what's going on; the characters don't have motivation for their actions, or at least the movie doesn't clearly show it.

Now what's up with those semi-intelligent zombies? What is this...power rangers? Costume and make up design is terrible on the zombies. What's also disappointing is the lack of the variety of bad guys. Why are the creators of this film franchise so afraid to include more than three types of monsters? Come on, giant worms, spiders, hunters, anything..

Finally, Ali Carter for Claire?...come on!

What I like..

--The crow attack scenes. They were well done and offer the best "jumpy moments" in the whole movie.

--Final battle is nice..

Things I've noticed...

For those who have read all the Resident Evil books by S.D. Perry, doesn't this movie contain elements from the Resident Evil: Underworld and Resident Evil: Caliban Cove novels? From Underworld, there are the Utah flats scenes; from Caliban Cove, the mad scientist and his experimentation with controllable zombies.

The movie still sucks though.

this movie sucks? SHOCK! HORROR!

The movie was decent. Totally mindless, like the others. Good action, but probably the worst of the series from the standpoint of having the Resident Evil 'feel.' There were also not enough new monsters introduced from the games. Tyrant was decent until he started talking. Nemesis was far cooler.

Also, why is Super Alice so much weaker now? In 2 she was beating Nemesis in hand-to-hand combat, now all of a sudden inbred rednecks can overpower her.

And yeah, the "sand taking Vegas back" line was pretty dumb.

I love how Claire's convoy has to scavenge for canned food and gas, but they seem to have no problem finding all the toothpaste and Crest Whitening Strips they'll ever need.

Seeing Wesker was cool, at least. He was missing his "big hair" from the games, however.

Nothing really happens, but the ending sets up nicely for an awesome part 4.

IDBTN. If they make a 4th movie with the set-up presented at the end of 3 it'll be the most retarded film ever made.

I mean, it'll take the one aspect I like least about the movies annoying Super Alice and times it by a thousand. That ending was really fucking stupid.

2 is probably my favorite of the three, as it "felt" more like the games.

Agreed, 2 nailed the feel really well. 3 probably felt the least like RE of the trilogy. It had pratically zero fanservice, whereas 2 was chock full of it.

25 million so far. People really wanted to see this.

[arjue]

that makes me feel sick

[voltz]

This is so going to wait till it hits budget......just for that.

[BerringerX]

The movie was ok. I agree with the Tyrant talking being stupid.

And what's not to love about Mortal Kombat's Linden Ashby being in this? I think he was the guy that fell off of the Eiffel Tower and splatted on the struts.

I also like how there is no mention of Jill or the Ashford kid. Here are some explanations from the novelization I swiped from another board:

Angie Ashford:
Alice is controlled by Dr. Isaacs who orders her to shoot Angie between the eyes, so she does.


Jill Valentine:
she is with the ones who escaped from the helicopter in Apocalypse. While at a hotel she leaves them to go find cigarettes and food and realizes she's being tailed so she goes back to the hotel and tells everyone to leave and pretty much lets the Feds/CIA capture her. She in turn helps the FBI type people build a case against Umbrella.

Hell of a write-off for the kid.
