Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)

The T-Virus created by the Umbrella Corporation has raged out of control. First it was contained in The Hive, an underground research facility under Raccoon City. It got out. Then the walls surrounding Raccoon City contained it. It got out. Now several years later it has effectively caused the extinction of the human race. Only small pockets of humans still survive but they have to stay on the move. If they stay in one place too long the flesh eating zombies find them. Alice (Milla Jovovich), a survivor of both the Hive and Raccoon City outbreaks is alone in the Nevada Desert. Umbrella needs her because her blood is the key to the cure. From their secured bases across they globe they search for her using their satelites. She knows this. Hilarity ensues as Alice hooks up with a band of survivors lead by Claire Redfield (Ali Larter). The band also has a familiar face for Alice. Carlos Olivera (Oded Fehr) is still alive and with the survivors as they try to stay alive. Meanwhile Umbrella finally gets a break and identifies Alice from Satelite photos near their Las Vegas facility (luckily, this is where their main research into the cure is being held). The head scientist at the facility decides to try and capture Alice...bad idea. At the facility, Alice meets a few of her "friends."

Trivia: Alice's new costume was designed by Milla Jovovich's clothing line, Jovovich-Hawk. This is the first live-action movie trilogy based on a video game. Prints were shipped to some theaters under the fake title "Raccoon City" -- which is the name of the city featured in many of the video games. For the crow attack scene, only two crows were used for the entire sequence. The rest of the crows were entered with special effects.

So Alice progresses from a frightened Umbrella Security employee with drug induced amnesia to a programmed fighting machine capable of telekenesis to a Road Warrior that can survive alone in the wilds if need be, all the while killing flesh eating zombies. Of course, I don't think the word zombie was used in this film either so that would mean the word was never used in any of the movies. Like the last movie, this one suffers a little from the "we have to make it bigger" syndrome, although, RE:A has a lot more zombies in it. So in this one the world is infected. They did decide to create a crow attack (you see the crows feasted on all the dead undead so that couldn't have been good.). So, if you are a movie franchise about flesh eating zombies where do you go from here? They are making a full length CGI animated version of the next movie. I guess Milla Jovovich finally said, "oh you have got to be kidding me." On the whole it is a decent trilogy and it probably helped that I saw all three in a few weeks time so that some of the recalls to the previous movies made better sense to me.
