Watched Resident Evil: Extinction for the first time last night. I grew up on the Resident Evil games, and first two films - while different - both proved to be competent. My thoughts about Resident Evil: Extinction? It’s differenter and competenter. I utterly love how it’s not a slavish recreation of the games, instead cherry picking characters and ideas from the game’s mythos and spinning an original narrative that stands alone.
Also, it wasn’t a bad thing having Milla Jovovich parade around the whole thing dressed up as post-apocalyptic cowgirl. Not a bad thing at all.
Of course, more than anything - and I’m spoiling the ending here - the film’s conclusion is easily the best ending ever. An army of Milla Jovoviches fighting zombies in Tokyo? Sequel, please!
