She is such an effective presence in these kinds of pulp science fiction-horror crosses, and has a strong presence and affinity for action. It is worth dwelling briefly on Milla JovovichвЂ™s performance. It seems a smart move вЂ“ familiarity with the walking dead can breed contempt if not varied sufficiently from movie to movie. It feels rather less bloody than usual, and focuses more on the science fiction elements of mutation and cloning than the fear of being physically ravaged by zombies. While the earlier films were very much an even blend of action and horror, it must be said that there is not too much overt horror to be found in Extinction. There are some excellent action set pieces вЂ“ notably an attack by infected crows and a catastrophic shoot-out in Las Vegas вЂ“ that keep the momentum going, and the entire film runs at a brisk 94 minutes. Relatively important questions like вЂњIs Alice still alive, or are we watching a clone?вЂќ or вЂњWhatever happened to half of the survivors of the last film?вЂќ are not addressed.

Even if one watched Apocalypse, the five-year narrative jump leaves an awful lot of unanswered questions about the earlier filmвЂ™s open cliffhanger and the latterвЂ™s incomplete resolution of it.

For anyone trying the film as their first Resident EvilВ adventure will come away rather confused and very lost. Back story is not well expressed, but callbacks to earlier events are rife. That said, it also makes ExtinctionВ a difficult film with which to engage unless you are already on the Resident EvilВ train. It helps tie elements together and make Resident EvilВ a more cohesive franchise than it looked during Apocalypse. Mulcahy brings his effective sense of action photography and pace to the proceedings, and does a wonderful job of delivering visual callbacks to AndersonвЂ™s original film. This is a post-apocalyptic pastiche at heart, effectively delivering Mad Max with ZombiesВ to its audience, and dutifully following and referencing the elements original to the films much more than anything from the games. ExtinctionВ weaves back in the other direction, and вЂ“ a few new character names aside вЂ“ does not closely resembles the game narrative at all. While a convoy of survivors, led by Claire Redfield (Ali Larter), slowly make their way towards rumoured safety in Alaska, Umbrella Corporation scientist Alexander Isaacs (Iain Glen) leads the hunt for an escaped Alice (Milla Jovovich) вЂ“ whose blood may be the cure for the virus.ДЄpocalypseВ differed from the first Resident EvilВ by hewing much more closely to CapcomвЂ™s videogames, including multiple characters and monsters, as well as settings and plot elements. Anderson and boasting a fresh director in the shape of Russell Mulcahy ( Highlander, The Shadow), it marked both a significant improvement in quality compared to ApocalypseВ and a slightly strange change of course for the expanding franchise.ДЇive years after the Raccoon City outbreak, the USA has been transformed to a dying wasteland where little vegetation grows and the walking dead outnumber the living. No surprise, then, that Sony subsiduary Screen Gems distributed a third Resident EvilВ in 2007. While horror sequel Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) was poorly received, it wasВ financially successful.
