Resident Evil Extinction (2007)

I found this third Resident Evil film mildly more watchable then the previous two, I think maybe that's because the characters were on the road rather then stuck in a confined place. Picking up 5 years after the previous movie left off, the viral plague of the first two films has further mutated and is gradually turning the Earth into a desert, so it might have been a more interesting choice to set the action in places that aren't already a desert anyway, as this film takes place largely in Utah and Nevada. Millia Jovovich rejoins the group of survivors from the previous film, and as usual for these there is way too much going on, Milla continues to develop her psychic powers, there are mutants, and zombies, and clones, and killer crows, and the Umbrella Cooperation is still up to no good. There are a few more human moments in this then previously, but (spoiler) basically all the characters except Milla are killed off in the end. I'll still watch the next one though, because I bought the DVD 4 pack and am going to get my $10 worth. **
