Resident Evil: Extinction
 

Just bought it so i'm curious: Did anyone really like this one? I love it. I mean, as far as mindless slice em' up films go, this one's one of the best. Awesome action, an attempt (sorta) at plot, Milla Jovovich, awesome action.... Milla Jovovich... Oh, and Ali Larter. I thought that this one was easily the best of the 3. Thoughts?

I thought it was the worst of the three, personally. :( It might have just been the day I watched it or something, because everyone mainly seems to think like you do. That it's the best of the three.

I'll stick with Shoot 'Em Up as my mindless action flick of choice.

Resident Evil - 9/10

Extinction - 8/10

Apocalypse - 3/10

I don't know if i'd say one of the best mindless films in any genre, I was speaking more horror/sci fi. Either way, it just entertains me. I think it's the best because it has the best action. The first honestly didn't have much at all. It was like a horror film that wanted to be an action film. The second had a good amount of action but it wasn't done all that well. This one just let loose, especially the dual machete parts.

For me it's like this...

Resident Evil - 9/10
Apocalypse - 7/10 (closer to 6.5 really... just rounded up)
Extinction - 8/10

I'm an RE fanboy though.

The first one is definitely the best.

But they all suck..


And i'm a RE fan"boy" as well. (Fan of the games that is)

I enjoyed the first alot.The second one was pure crap and third was to me just a little better than crap.

I'm a huge fan of the video games.

I did like Extinction a wee bit better than the original.

RE - 06/10
RE: Apocalypse - 05/10
RE: Extinction - 07/10


Thats how they ll stand in my book.

I liked it the best as well.

i wanted to like it and i thought i would but it was just okay.... and i really liked the other 2 films...

a friend of mine who hasnt seen it told me its supposed to be the best one yet...

well i always say see something first

7/10 - RE

3/10 - RE: Apocalypse

7/10 - RE: Extinction

I thought that the second was horrible, but the first and third were about the same, leaning towards the first.

I actually enjoyed the second.... The main problem was the black dude... He killed it.

Yes. Yes I WILL marry you.

SO many people just completely panned this movie... Personally, my boyfriend dragged me to it and I wound up having a really good time... It's a FANTASTIC mindless slice 'em up... Done really well, decent action and DAMN does Milla look GOOD... I thought that the action scenes were really well done and the tension was created quite well. A more-than-decent serial.

I honestly do not have a frame of reference in regards to the trilogy, but my boyfriend actually agrees that this is the best of the three, so I really have no desire to see the other two at this point.

I'm going to watch it today so I'll let you know, but I did dig the first 2 and the early games on ps1.

I enjoyed it. It was not bad. Extinction was lacking in the plot dept, but it is a video game movie so really that does tend to happen. I was really surpirsed that the first one did as well as it did, but I am also glad it did.

7/10 RE
5/10 RE: Apocolypse
5.5/10 Re: Extinction

Oh dear... :rolleyes:

Why does no one share my good taste in horror movies... for shame.. :(

yeah I saw it I liked it, But now I want the next one, and it better have more colour...

I hope they make a 4th. These are perfect for leave your brain at the door films.

Pfffffffth!!!!

I'm already hoping for a remake of the first one..

I'm hoping you remake your attitude betch.

U better start spelling Bitch right or i'll kick your ass.... bitch..

BETCHa won't! Muahaha

found this game just now. A small flash zombie sim, alrite but a bit repetitous ;) the cool thing is the zombie effect generator.. i like myself dead.. anyway, enjoy

You don't dig RE3?

If the 4th is based on RE4, and Romero has some involvement in it, then I might be able to get behind a 4th movie. But RE films are "leave your brain at the door" films, (like anything Anderson directs) which is cool, but they still could have done more with adapting our beloved Resident Evil series.

I was hoping for a remake right after I saw it. They just might get it right the next time around.......

I actually really liked both Resident Evil and Apocalypse, though I think I'm in the minority here when I say: Extinction sucked! The plot just went right out the door, and what happened to Jill Valentine and the little girl, Angela? They were such main characters in Apocalypse and there's no mention of them at all. Yeah, the action sequences were pretty well done and I did like the crows. But as for the other characters dying off, it was soooo predictable and it just made it boring.

I totally agree! What little plotline that the first two movies managed to pull together was completly ruined by this movie's emphasis on over the top battle scenes and a new director. To me, the movie seemed to consist of dual storylines which split the film into two incomplete parts. Many segments even seemed to be just tossed in as a tribute to the other films. (The mansion, the lasers, the hive references.) Didn't we see smart zombies in Land of the Dead? Even then they seemed played out. Alice's character seemed more like the Terminator than a sentient, revenge-minded super woman. Why was Carlos there but not Jill or Angela and don't get me started on L.T. and his date with Ashanti. Since I did like the first two movies, I hate to see the series end like this, with no hope of T-Virus regeneration in sight.

I actually thought it had an open ending.. really expecting another film tbh.

that game i posted about earlier, got well into it ;) the finale is today.. there should be some zombie killing by Alice

i am a huge fan of all the re video games and i loved all of the movies but in to me the first one was the worst cause it did not have a lot of stuff from the games but two & three are awesome (i loved the first one too i just liked the other two more)

It was ok in my book, I thought they were all equal. not to bad. Intresting big zombies and gotta love the classic lazer waffle cut.

I haven't seen it but I've heard good things. I hated apocalypse but love the first one.

:D i saw it the same way!thats why i definitely gonna buy the DVD.
i went to the website and had to see I missed that competition, there were some nice prices involved..i think the laser waffle cut as well :cool:
