The T-Virus has gone global, and the franchise is now a post-apocalyptic series. Thankfully, everything they did wrong in 'Resident Evil 2: Apocalypse' has been rectified in 'Resident Evil: Extinction'.
Everything about this film is so much better than RE2: better characters, better acting, better photography, a much better and more defined plot. The suspense is back. The effective jump scares are back. The film once again has a good score and excellent visuals. Alice is now a full-on superhero, but here she was awesome and I loved it. Carlos (Oded Fehr) is back in a more prominent role, that as one of the film's heroes. L.J. (Mike Epps) - the annoying comic relief character from RE2 is back, as well, but this time in a more serious role with hardly any comic relief. (Wow, they really have learnt from their mistakes.)
The pacing is really good and allows for lots of suspense. The action sequences are not as overblown as RE2, much more believable and better executed. The Crows scenes are fantastic, and my favorite scenes in the movie. This film was so good, it's hard to believe its the same writer as RE2 (and RE1, of course, but the first is still the best.)
The main issue I had with the film, is the fact that characters turn to zombies almost instantly once bitten, yet some of the main characters last for hours or a day before turning. Why? Regardless, this is a fast-paced, thrilling, action-packed action adventure horror with bite!!
