Russell Mulcahy of Highlander fame ensures that production values are strong even if logic is weak and the script sounds like it was written on the back of an envelope.

Reviews for Resident Evil: Extinction
One or two good action sequences keep boredom at bay for a while, but so little of it is fresh that extinction can't come too soon.

It's high time for "Resident Evil: Enough is Enough".
10/12/07
Top CriticThose zombies are back on the march in the third instalment of the horror-action series that plays like a rip-off of George A Romero’s Day Of The Dead, only with a much lower IQ.
10/12/07
While it doesn't present anything that is in any way original, it's fast and fun enough not to outstay its welcome.
10/12/07
Top CriticMilla Jovovich reprises her tough-girl-in-sexy-thigh-boots role, and the survivors travel in Mad Max conveys up and down desert highways in search of fuel.

Top CriticResident Evil: Extinction does exactly what you'd expect from a threequel – it's not especially scary or witty but if you want hot chicks kicking zombie arse then it delivers enough action to keep the Friday night crowd happy.
10/11/07
Scaling dizzy heights of sheer averageness, the third in writer/ producer Paul WS Anderson’s stillborn zombie saga is the best – or least worst – yet.
10/10/07
Better than the silly second instalment and boasting an effectively creepy empty world setting, it’s nevertheless scuppered by a lack of coherence.
10/10/07
Top CriticThe scariest visage is that of Alice, whose flawless, airbrushed complexion is either a throwback to Mulcahy’s New Romantic pop promos or something dictated by Jovovich’s L’Oréal contract.
10/10/07
Top CriticDirector Russell Mulcahy, a veteran of sci-fi tat, knows well enough to keep his camera firmly focussed on the exploding heads, and of course, there's the semi-naked Milla. One for Saturday night DVD rental, really.

If you are willing to leave your brains and good taste at the door, you may well find Resident Evil: Extinction to be a guilty pleasure of the purest genetic strain.
10/04/07
Top CriticAfter the slightly more sophisticated part 2, this episode returns to the more preposterous style of the original.

The franchise is becoming almost as mindless as the zombies it portrays, lumbeirng on with only repetitive instinct, while all true vitality has long since passed away.
