Before we begin I must point out the the first instalment of Res Ev is one of my favourite action-type films. I love Milla Jovovich when she kicks ass and it's even better when she's allowed to do some acting.
The second in the series was mediocre but still true to the games and the characters were pretty solid as were the baddies. So, the third (and hopefully final) instalment was an unsurprising disappointment. Milla/Alice is very cool but practically mute throughout the whole flick. It's set in the desert. Why? We are told it's something to do with what the zombies have been up to. What ever. And, for a zombie movie, there could have been a heck of a lot more of them roaming about. Wussed out, I think. Where did the budget go then? Anyway, mustn't grumble too much. It was fun whilst it lasted. The token British baddie was a bit crappy (Iain Glen, who can do so much more really). Ali Larter was bad-ass, as was Oded Fehr (yum, from The Mummy etc) and Ashanti got splattered. The effects were pretty good and the action was completely predictable. It was quite nice to see Alice having to battle with mind controlly things as well as the zombies.
The Umbrella Corporation continues to destroy everything good whilst at the same time mucking everything up for the humans that remain. I don't care any more. Bit of a shame really especially as we girls have very few heroines to call out own nowadays... or ever really. Am I really going to have to wait for Wonder Woman to turn up to save us????
Go see this to complete the series. Take something with you to fill the gaps. Popcorn? Booze?
