Day 36: Resident Evil 3: Extinction (2007, Dir. Russell Mulcahy)
“Urrrrgh” The zombies pretty much sum up my review of this one.
A lot of people slag off series writer Paul W.S. Anderson, and admittedly they have good reason to do so. This film isn’t even one of those it’s so bad its good affairs; it’s just annoyingly bad. The plot is a mess and the characters are equally as lacking. It takes everything fun, exciting and worthwhile from the original concept of the games and the effectiveness of the zombie genre and bites it in the neck, but not in a good way.
The plot is dull as dishwater with the script set on autopilot, the music gets turned up to 11 every couple of minutes to make sure you’re still awake for another dose of bland scares or nauseating action. The most convincing performances are probably from the Zombie extras and the CGI birds.
There are some interesting ideas in here if you switch off and leave your brain at the door but ultimately anything worthwhile gets lost in the films endless barren wasteland. Best advice is to run like there’s a hoard of undead on your trail.
2.5/10
