Resident Evil: Extinction

You might think a person like me is not necessary interested in gory, bloody movies but surprisingly, me likes! (^_^)V. Lil Bro and myself are big fans of er gaming horror movies and we trooped along after work that day to watch Resident Evil: Extinction. My brother's motives in watching this is just more than his favourite PS2 game, it is a chance for him to drool @ Milla Jovovich. For me, it is mindless relaxation.

Resident Evil is based on that game from PS2 though the only thing in common it has with the game is undead people. Yes, undead people. People that are infected by a virus that turns them into mindless flesh eating zombies. Only very few people are surviving and they are running from place to place to look for food, water and finally the cure.

The hero ( or -ine ) in this show, is Alice(Milla) and she is actually the only person who can overcome this infection. She roams around the US looking for a cure and running away from the people in the Umbrella Group, who are out to get her and harvest her blood to look for a cure. Alice has special powers compared to other humans, in which you will see in the show later.

While on the really humans portion, there is a group of people led by Claire Redfield, that rounds up remaining living people in search for a cure for the diseases.

Along the way, they kick a** zombies and meet up with Alice. They team up and try to find away to get to Alaska, where it seems the infection never hit.

Now, what's great about it? If you like action movies, i can't say this doesn't have any. Frankly, aside from Alice being pretty, she really knows how to knock people off. It's refreshing to see ladies kick butts. Besides Alice, there is Claire Redfield played by Ali Larter from Heroes fame as well as Betty ( one of the caravan followers ) played by Ashanti. The best scene in the whole show is the one where all the black crows were surrounding them. Cool!!!

Not so great part? Hmm- the story line is weak. Not much plotting, you can predict the outcome in about 1/2 way through the show.

But watch if it, if mindless violence let's you destress and if you are true Milla Jovovich fan.
