Resident Evil: Extinction is more of the same; its few impressive action sequences unable to compensate for the pedestrian plot.

Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express [Resident Evil: Extinction] looks as if it has been lifted from the same genre of films. May 22, 2019 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness A Western-tinged adventure whose innovations are so scant that the only things keeping the enterprise afloat are clumsy references to its predecessors. Rated: C Oct 30, 2007 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard Russell Mulcahy of Highlander fame ensures that production values are strong even if logic is weak and the script sounds like it was written on the back of an envelope. Rated: 2/5 Oct 12, 2007 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Resident Evil: Extinction has nothing zombie fans haven’t yet seen in better movies. Rated: 1/4 Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine It blends the zombie and post-apocalyptic genres in a reasonably interesting way, and benefits from Mulcahy's well-rehearsed filmmaking style. Rated: 6/10 May 7, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Ridiculous, nonsensical, and grossly unnecessary. Rated: 2/10 Nov 27, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Guilherme F ESSE FILME É UM TANTO MELHOR QUE O SEGUNDO, POR SER MAIS DESCONTRAIDO, MAS ESSES FILMES COMEÇAM A SEGUIR UMA LINHA CONFUSA DE ACONTECIMENTOS, TODOS ELES ACABAM SENDO MAIS DO MESMO, MUITAS MORTES DE ZUMBI, UNS ENREDOS PESSIMOS, UMA HISTORIA MEDIOCRE, PERSONAGENS PIORES AINDA, NÃO TEM MUITA COISA A SE FALAR DESSE FILME, MAIS É UM FILME RUIM. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review Ralph R Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) takes the franchise in a full post-apocalyptic direction, but the execution stumbles along the way. The story has a few interesting ideas, like the cloning subplot, but it lacks depth and struggles to keep engagement. The first act drags on endlessly, the second act picks up slightly, and the climax, while unique in some ways, fails to deliver the punch it needed. It feels like the movie is more focused on style than substance, which might have worked better if the pacing was tighter. The directing and editing are a mess, making the action scenes frustrating to watch. The shaky cam is back, and somehow, it is worse than in Apocalypse, making some moments borderline unwatchable. The overuse of quick cuts doesn't help either, making it feel like the action is happening in pieces rather than flowing naturally. That being said, the cinematography has some cool moments, especially in the desert setting, and the final battle at least tries to be creative. Milla Jovovich remains the glue holding everything together. Even when the plot loses steam, she keeps things somewhat enjoyable with her commanding presence and well-executed fight scenes. The script, unfortunately, does not add much, with weak dialogue and little emotional weight. The soundtrack sticks to the industrial rock vibe, but at this point, it feels like the series is relying on style to cover up a lack of substance. Overall, Extinction has moments that work, but it feels more like an action movie trying to throw in zombies rather than a true continuation of what made the first film engaging. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review D3Z 1 Sometimes I really do wonder why is it that every time Paul W S Anderson gets involved with the Resident Evil franchise constantly gets worse with every entry. The third instalment to the Resident Evil films still consist of the same issues that the previous two entries had with zero plot, bland and uninteresting characters with poor editing and chaotic camera shots as usual. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/25 Full Review B K 2 stars because there is no Jill Valentine and the shooting (aiming) is woeful. The film is pretty much the same as the prior instalments. Some good actors are unable to lift the threat level, which means that that even the potentially exciting bird scene is run of the mill. But, there is plenty of gore, so the film does not drag too much. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/08/25 Full Review thiago s Filme legal, o roteiro é bacaninha, as cenas de ação são legais e salvaram o filme, os fãs de resident evil devem odiar esse filme eu tenho certeza, Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/08/25 Full Review Obi-wan K Most Rusty ass movie ive seen in my life Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
