resident evil: extinction

this one picks up a few years after the last one. we follow a few of the characters who made it out of the last one alive. they have picked up a few more people and have created a caravan looking for any survivors who may still be around after the virus from racoon city got out and infected the rest of the world. they find themselves in las vegas (or at least what used to be vegas) and must try and stop the umbrella corporation's desert base. the great twist of this movie is that it all takes place is broad daylight- fairly unusual for a zombie movie! the zombies have had time to adapt, and can now move quicker and put up more of a fight, which adds a ton to the action scenes. i actually found myself enjoying this third film the most in the series.
each of these movies do a great job of blending from one to the other. while watching them it felt more like i was watching a few episodes of a television series- they lead right into each other. the last five minutes of all three movies are purely there to set up the next one. with this in mind, i eargly await the fourth resident evil movie!
