   Resident Evil Extinction was not the best but it was an exciting and thrilling movie, especially with the dread and awesome Alice (Milla Jovovich) doing all the cool stunts and if the roomer is true about the fourth movie not having alice, they ar making a big mistake because with out her the movie will be a bust

   Overall, i thought this was a great movie. it was very exciting and thrilling and there were a lot of things that i didnt see coming. people have told me that this MIGHT be last one. i can tell you that the way this movie ended, there has to be an other one. it can not stop! i beg for sony to release an other RE movie with a longer running time.

   Frankly, your review of RE:Extinction was almost as bad as the movie itself.
   How can you even compare RE:E with RE:1 and 2. These were movies true to the RE franchise, which is primarily about Zombies and puzzles.
   Extinction couldn't get any farther from what RE is all about, and shamelessly steals from other movies such as Mad Max 2 (a convoy through a desert in roughly armoured vehicles looking for fuel, supplies etc).
   
   Then there's the huge swarms of infected Ravens and survivors exiting their safe vehicles to take on the thousand plus armed only with pistols. And don't get me started on Alice's new found phsychic abilities......where the hell did they come from and what relevance do they have to Resident Evil?
   
   The films only saving grace was the fact that Milla Jovovich was in it, and even then it would be lucky to get a 1/2 star

   Resident evil 3 could of been better i mean i liked it but i think the second was a bit better and the third one could of been longer. I do hope a 4th film does come out with milla in it she is the star and alice is a kick ass heroin evrybody likes alice

   Resident evil movies have been my favourite for a long time but i thought that this one could of been longer and i hope theres another movie to finish it off. Anyway why did Carlos and Mikey have to die what a bummer:(. Anyway what the hell happened to Jill Valentine and Angela Ashford its like they disappeared. And was it 5 or 10 years after Raccoon City was destroyed????

   For GOD's sakes, this movie was horrible. It deserves the worst movie of the Year Award. I thought RE: 1 & 2 were WAY WAY better, they owned this 3rd installment with no mercy. This is like Resident Evil 2.5, its not even a part three. This had absolutely no story at all, was the shortest movie I've ever seen (it was as short as a hour long tv episode.. almost), lots of the main characters from the 2nd one die like nothing. I mean c'mon, half the things I've seen have been already done in others movies. I was so upset after seeing this movie, it wasn't worth it. "Worst Movie of the Year Awards" Period.

   I think the movie wasn't as thrilling as the first 2 but it wasn't a bad movie could of went for longer though.

   I thought it was good, it definately succeeded as an action film even though the storyline seemed a bit jumbled at times.
   The only thing i really didn't like is Carlos dying! They killed off matt (in the 1st one) and now carlos! i really liked carlos...

   RE 3... I am a fan and found that 1 was great. 2 was a good follow up. 3... Why copy Mad Max? Was that necessary? Why not tell the story between 2 and 3 and then finish with intro to what is now 3rd in the series.
   
   The zombies... At least the zombies in 1 and 2 moved like what I would think zombies would move. I got the feeling in 1 and 2 that the slow movement and the damaged body parts just seemed authentic. Look at the Las Vegas fight sequence in 3. Zombies running and jumping. It seemed like a zombie track and field event with the zombies actually going for gold and getting it...
   
   Paul W.S. Anderson, suggestion for 4. Learn from 1 and 2. These were a more tight spaced, locked in feel, that made the viewer simply want to have the suspense over with. For 4, expand on Alice's telekinesis, a lot. Make up for the lack of a telekinetic end "boss" fight in 4. Also consider a 5th installment to tell the story of the missing 5 years and the missing Valentine.
   
   Take note. This is from a fan of the series. I was... disappointed but am still waiting for 4.

   Ok I give everyone that, this movie is in no way compared to RE:1 or RE:2. There could be lots of scenerios where this movie can go now.
   
   1. This movies length might have something to do with like RE:E Vol. 1 RE:E Vol. 2, (Just like the Kill bills.) with Vol. 2 probably talking about Jill and Angela. (Thus fulfilling the rumor to Alice not being in it.) (Look at the games. RE:1 and RE:3 delt with Jill Valentine, While RE:2 and RE: Veronica dealt with Clair's story. The same could be happening in the movies.) This would still make it a Trillogy.
   
   2. They could pick up right where RE:E left off, with RE:4. and seperate 2 stories from there. One telling Clair's group in Alaska and the fact Zombies could be there. Then the Alice Clones, making cures and distributing them all bringing the dead back to life, in the process trying to make umbrella feel the hurt.
   
   3. They could drop the whole claire story altogether and just focus on alice.
   
   4. In the DVD have a Director's cut telling the rest of the story setting you up for 4. Plus have a timeline bonus feature chronicalling the events of the last 5 years. thus telling what happened to Jill and Angela.
   
   (these are my opinions and in no way spoilers or inside information.)
   
   (Also in my opinion, with no cure left Angela turned into a Zombie, and suprised Jill and Co., Bit Jill, Then Carlos and LJ had to take care of them.)
   (Or Angela was the one who started the t-virus outbreak in the world. being the only one left truly affected by the T-Virus. Carlos could have been cured being only one bite. and then given the cure. LJ and Jill were not infected and Alice bonded with the T-Virus. So Angela could have started it all, but B4 Jill and co. could contain it it got out of hand, thus resulting in Jill's Death/Seperation from Carlos and LJ. Jill could have her own Convoy, and LJ and Carlos could have gone on beliving Jill is dead thus they don't look for her. Alice or clone could run into her in the 4th movie or Even Clair and Jill could meet in Alaska.)
   
   There are so many different ways they can take this franchise now. I say b4 we make any judgement calls and hating the movie I say we wait for the DVD and/or the 4th movie. I will agree this was short, and the climax went "poof". But they could be building for something even bigger than the first 3 films. But only time will tell.

   I thought the movie was played out to fast. It had nothing to do with the other movies beside the fact that it had the same characters. I think the director should be ashamed of himself.

   I liked the 3rd movie..Upped gore factor which is something it needed. Still could use a bit more though.
   
   As for the zombies being fast..Crimson Heads from R.E. remake on Gamecube. So they do fit in the RE universe xD
   
   From what I've read around..*in the book released before this movie* Jill was alive and leading 100 or so survivors in Baltimore..and Angela was killed by Alice. Alice was being controlled by Umbrella in Detroit or something along those lines.

   RES Evil Extinction was very thrilling and exciting. With more action scenes and supporting actors, the movie was better than 1 and 2. Seemed like the movie ended short, i dunno maybe just me, but wished it was a lil longer.
   
   
   Overall my fav of the series.

   I do not understand why they had to make the movies diff. from the games, the games would have taken in probbaly more if it was based on them, making these movies with the mega powerful telekenetic alice was a shame to the re community and fans.... They should have done it in the order of the games, 0, 1, 2, 3, C:V, and 4, the idea of the main series being made into movies would have cause me to buy a dvd and 2-3 trips to the theater, many others also.

   I was actually pretty disappointed with the ending. I hope they don't take so many years in between 3 and 4. I also didn't like the gap and we never found out if claire made it to Alaska or not... But even so I agree with the person a while back who said it should have just been based on the games. It would've been a lot better that way.
