We fought the infection. We survived the apocalypse. And now, we face extinction.
Clearly one of my favorite films. After serious deliberation (and incessant viewing), I have decided that the third RE installment is my favorite. The first film explained how the infection started, while the second brought on the spread of the T Virus to the surface. The third has an even wider scope, and despite having the film center on only one location - although admittedly, at the first few scenes of the film, the camera shifted to the locations of Alice and Claire's convoy - Mulcahy was able to depict the devastating effects of the T Virus on the world. Alice (Jovovich) has escaped the Umbrella Corporation and has evaded its satellites for years. On her way through a world now teeming with flesh eating zombies, she discovers that her powers are fast evolving. Switch to a convoy of cars, we are introduced to Claire Redfield (Larter), and are reunited with two familiar faces from the second film, Carlos Olivera (Fehr) and LJ (Epps). It is during an attack by zombified crows do these two groups meet, when Alice saves Olivera from being pecked to death by the birds. They now have to look for a safe place to live (Alice has discovered a notebook which shows that Alaska is apparently infection-free). However, the Umbrella Corporation, led by the vicious Dr. Isaacs (Glen), is hell bent on retrieving Alice in order to obtain from her blood a cure for the T Virus. Far better than the first and second movies combined. The infection is now on a global scale, and almost everyone of those slimy buggers are dead. Oh, and there are some zombies running amok on Earth. I admittedly thought that the character of Alice was going to be eradicated during the first scene, but hey, I'm wrong sometimes. I just love love love the Las Vegas fight scene, with those zombies just biting and chewing and getting their brains blown out. Not exactly the type of movie someone would normally watch after Christmas, but I am not a normal person when it comes to movies. And THIS isn't your normal zombies-getting-blown-and-people-getting-killed movie.
This movie is much more than that.
This movie is
EXTINCTION.
