The last Resident Evil? "Resident Evil: Extinction"

http://deadhours.files.wordpress.comAlice is back! Not the one in Wonderland wearing red shoes,I'm talking about the Alice in Zombie-land with guns and long knives.

Picking up three years after Resident Evil: Apocalypse, another installment of the so ever popular video game-inspired Resident Evil (RE) was released last September 21 entitled Resident Evil:Extinction, and still hitting the big screen in more than 2,820 theaters all over the world in its second week. "Extinction" picks up several years after the T-virus from the earlier films has spread around the world, discovering that the nukes weren't all that effective in containing the virus in the previous movie and turning those infected into the walking dead, and even zombie dogs and a sky full of zombie crows around the globe.

From an underground base in Nevada, Umbrella scientists led by the evil Dr. Issacs (Iain Glen) are attempting to synthesize a cure to the virus, using clones grown from Alice's blood. To be able to escape from the hands of the Umbrella, Alice (Milla Jovovich) went and travel in a wasteland alone to avoid being tracked by them. Then she meet up Claire (Ali Larter) with Carlos (Oded Fehr) and L.J. (Mike Epps) both from the previous “Apocalypes” to go to Alaska, a virus-free zone. But first they decided to head to the ruins of Las Vegas to refuel for the big trip. Another display of zombie butt-kicking and series of gunslinging held and they ended up in the climax, the final battle with Umbrella and the evil Dr. Isaacs, fighting a boss-type zombie.

Sony claims that RE:Extinction is the third and final installment of the series but you have to see for yourself! The film was assessed by the MPAA and gave a rating of “R” for non-stop violence, language and some nudity in the movie. It was directed by Russell Mulcahy and the movie last for about 1 hour and 35 minutes of zombie butt-kicking. As of now, the film is doing great in the US Box Office with a whopping $36,826,411.
