Resident Evil Extinction
Resident Evil. Possibly the most successful video game to movie franchise ever?I struggle to think of anything more successful. Although, as with all sequels, they have a tendency to get considerably poorer as they progress.
The original Resident Evil was a very easy to watch, brainless horror. Plenty of blood and gore, and a vaguely interesting, if somewhat un-imaginative storyline. I enjoyed it.

It sounds like any other zombie cult classic (possibly swapping the plane for a mall) and to begin with, I was almost quite excited.
We have the old pilot who’s on his last day on the job. The brave good-looking police officer who was born to save the day. The quick witted (camp?) criminal. The arguing horny teenagers, even the scornful nun made an appearance. After this initial inspiring few minutes the film turned into a lack-lustre blend of Con-air and Final Destination, minus the blood or tattoo’s. It really grinds my gears when films do this… Read more
