In the 3rd installment of the Resident Evil series, survivors of the Raccoon City catastrophe travel across the Nevada desert hoping to make it to safety in Alaska. Their chances are improved when Alice (Milla Jovovich) joins the caravan and their fight against the Umbrella Corporation.There's a bit of The Road Warrior to this film, and a bit of Hitchcock's The Birds, and of course a lot of the first 2 Resident Evil movies... add it all up and it's a pretty good action/horror flick with some impressive sequences full of slicing and dicing with the super sexy Jovovich in charge. Lots of zombie butt-kicing, a pretty cool new monster and some jacked-up crows keep the pace going pretty well, but it still hits a few dull spots.
Face it, you know what you're getting with these films and this one delivers more of the same, but does so better than the last film (but not as good as the first). You want character development? Wrong series. This is about zombie smashing. Still though, nothing really fresh is brought to the series and it almost feels like a bit of a rehash after a bit. Alice's telekinesis is pretty cool though.
I liked it, didn't love it, and I think another part of that is the ending just didn't feel like an ending. I thought this was the end of the series?
It also could have used a naked pillow fight between Ali Larter and Jovovich, but what movie couldn't? Those 2 can kill my zombie anyday! Wait, what does that even mean?
6/10
