Resident Evil: Extinction
Stream
Rent & Buy
Years after the Racoon City catastrophe, survivors travel across the Nevada desert, hoping to make it to Alaska. Alice joins the caravan and their fight against hordes of zombies and the evil Umbrella Corp.
What critics thought
DivisiveCritics broadly dismissed Extinction as a mechanical franchise entry, with most finding the plot too formulaic and the action too repetitive to recommend. A handful of reviewers conceded it delivers serviceable genre thrills for series devotees, and there was genuine disagreement over whether the post-apocalyptic desert setting added atmosphere or merely dressed up the same old routine. A recurring oddity noted across reviews was the conspicuous digital airbrushing on Jovovich's close-ups, which many found distracting.
“Anybody who has ever seen a zombie movie can figure out what happens next. Somebody will get bit without telling the others, which will inevitably backfire. Survivors will be forced to shoot suddenly undead friends in the head. One of them dastardly science folk will protect the monsters in order to study them, which will also inevitably backfire. And legions of undead will be re-killed in surprisingly easy fashion.”
Steven Hyden·The A.V. Club
“plays like a flabby middle chapter, full of nerdy details but fraudulently short on the ruined Vegas-scape that ads have been promising.”
Scott Brown·Entertainment Weekly
“Equal parts Mad Max and Day of the Dead, [Extinction] is no less derivative than its predecessors but moves along at a brisk clip.”
