RESIDENT EVIL: EXTINCTION

Resident Evil is trash...but instead of spending their time and money coming up with the next Star Wars, Matrix, or Terminator...the studio here keeps on pumping out this bottom dweller worthy sewage???

Has Russell Mulcahy career fallen this low??? How very sad for him as he was once considered a promising genius.

I agree with the review, the Resident Evil films have all been fun action/suspense shootem ups, and I have thoroughly enjoyed all of them.

The poster above me is just another game purist who obviously just cannot get past himself to enjoy the fun films.

Metalwater isn't a game purist, he's just someone that likes to trash movies that he's never seen. At least that's all I've ever seen him do here at Mania.

I saw the movie, and I put up my review on Thurs. night. It actually follows "Day of the Dead" more than "Dawn of the Dead". There's even a kind of nod to Bub from Romero's "Day" in there.

Not bad, but not worth a full price ticket.

bottom line ... these movies suck ... no paragraph long reasoning needed

If a movie isn't worth a full price ticket
IT SUCKS!

Not to dismiss your view, gauleyboy420, but I rather enjoyed Resident Evil: Extinction. Mind you this is not an oscar worthy movie, but it was well beyond the best out of the three. If the Second is counted at all, which I think it should not.

No one seems to mention how well Ali Larters and Mike Epps acted in this movie. It was actually really good.

I'm glad I can go to movies and enjoy them. Must be hard to be entertained when you're expecting Oscar style theatrics out of every movie made.

Great review.
Good grade.
Good movie.

I agree. B to B +. As much fun, and as different on its own, as the previous two.

I hacen't seen it yet, I was only commenting on daforce's review. He gives it a B+, but then states it's not worth a full price ticket. Thats very contradictory.
I think any movie above a C- is worth the full price of a ticket. JMHO
Speaking of good movies,
I went and spent another $24 hard earned dollars supporting Transformers in IMAX. It's even better in IMAX

Hey, if they make Pac Man the movie...and it is terrible, I'm bold enough to say it. So when it comes to Resident Evil I said it. Hell, I saw the Mario Brothers movie...Mortal Combat, Tomb Raider...and Street Fighter, and they all sucked!!! Now, if they make a good video game movie, i'll say that too...but they haven't...something which I have pointed out.

I saw the original Resident Evil and it is garbage...and had nothing to do with the game...and all of you know it, except for several loose references. But the point is, it was supposedly a prequel to the original game...and that was done for the sole purpose of denying the original people who wrote the scripted story for the game certain profits from the movie as well as denying them creator and story credit on the film. It's rather involved, but that's why you rarely, if at all, see a straight game to movie storyline translation...that isn't greatly altered by film producers, execs, and studios. It's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny about it.

Look folks, all these studios are doing, is buying the rights to a popular game's title (and basic elements of the game), for its great market value (high marketplace recognition among the public and the media), in hopes of pulling a bait and switch on uneducated audiences...who don't realize they are being duped!!!

It's like licensing the name of McDonald's and placing the name on Denny's restaurants. The name alone will attract customers...but they won't be getting McDonald's food, just the name and some of the bags, cups, and hamburger wrappers...but what's inside will still be Denny's food...not McDonald's...and that is what you have gotten with Resident Evil--the game name on the movie, and very little else!!!

This reminds me of the phony McDonald's called McDenodnal's in the Eddie Murphy movie Coming To America.
