Trivia:
The crows sitting on power lines and attacking in large numbers pays homage to 'Alfred Hitchcock''s movie The Birds (1963). more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: In the scene where Alice reads Stevie's name tag, with the help of a magnifying scope, a duplex reticle can be seen. However, right before she shoots him with the crossbow, it can clearly be seen that her crossbow is equipped with an open design type of red dot sights. These devices do not magnify at all and they have a red/amber luminous dot (hence the name) instead of the previously seen duplex reticle. more

Dr. Isaacs: Take a sample of her blood, and then get rid of that.

Mad Maxine - Beyond The Zombiedome., 5 April 2009
8/10
Author: tyler-and-jack from Edinburgh.

The third movie in a series that writer Paul W.S. Anderson always envisaged as a trilogy may surprise a lot of people by not only being very good in a pure popcorn pleasure way but by also being, arguably, the best of the bunch.

There are less nods to the franchise here, beyond the basic overall story arch and a few characters (Ali Larter appears as Claire Redfield while Oded Fehr and Mike Epps return alongside, obviously, Milla Jovovich), but there are new revelations and twists that tie up the whole series and point the way towards a very satisfying conclusion.

After an intriguing opening sequence we are briefed on the situation as it is now: the infection could not be contained and has subsequently ravaged the world and it's populace. People struggle to survive in arid conditions while the zombies thrive. Some of the survivors include a convoy "led" by Claire Redfield and you just know that it's only a matter of time until they meet up with Alice. Added into the mix this time around are even more "mad scientist" moments, savage people trying to trick innocent victims and some genetically-altered "super-zombies" who move quicker, possess greater strength and are even supposed to have a bit more intelligence. Luckily, Alice has some more tricks up her sleeve too thanks to the scientists who made the mistake of letting her slip through their fingers.

Directed by Russell Mulcahy, this is a vast improvement over the previous movie in the series and almost makes for a great standalone entry into the apocalyptic horror subgenre. The acting is a notch above the previous entries, the effects work consistently impresses and the story actually comes together in a way that, while not brain-bustingly ingenious, certainly provides a little bit more food for thought than some "popcorn" flicks.

A great movie in it's own right and a decent film for the fans of both the games and the previous instalments.
