The facility is an underground complex. The visual representation showing that facility is one of the movie’s coolest graphics. I also loved the way the zombies were kept outside of the aboveground facility by a tall fence. But the image jarred me a lot too because it’s too much like comics scribe Robert Kirkman’s zombie title The Walking Dead.

After the opening, the action shifts over to the real Alice and she’s immediately in danger from survivors who try to kill her. I was a little troubled by the fact that the killers didn’t seem to be properly motivated, but when they set the zombie dogs on Alice, I promptly pushed that out of my mind and simply enjoyed the action sequences.

The zombie crows later in the film were terrifying. Kind of like Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds on steroids. The huge cloud of them attacking the convoy was totally amazing visually, as was Alice’s attack on them with the mind-controlled fireblast spewed by the flamethrower.

Resident Evil: Extinction got an R rating, but there wasn’t a single F-bomb I remember hearing, nor any other egregious language. The rating seems to be totally derived from the violence and the appearance of the zombies. Personally, I think a PG-13 rating would have sufficed. You can freely watch this one with your older kids. I watched it with my ten year old and he had a good time with it.

The Resident Evil video game franchise continues to pump out new entries. Extinction is rumored to be the last live-action movie, but I hope that’s not true. A motion-capture film called, for the moment, Resident Evil: Degeneration is already in the works.

The two-disc set and Blu-ray edition carries a lot of extras that fans will want to have. The audio commentary, the making-of featurette, and the sneak peek at Resident Evil: Degeneration are all worth making time for.
