Now I Know How the Zombies Felt

Plodding Through the Latest in the Resident Evil Franchise

WHEN IT comes to film there's good-bad and there's bad-bad, and Resident Evil: Extinction falls resolutely into the latter category. I didn't walk into the theater expecting fine cinema, but even by zombie movie standars, RE:E is limp and lifeless. To delve into plot points and other details too much would be giving the film too much credit; suffice it to say there was lots of mutilation, gore, gruesome death, beyond-clunky writing, boring techno music, overacting, and the usual bizarre subplot involving cloning. Worst of all: Milla Jovovich didn't take it off even once. I thought that was supposed to be in her contract.

I'm a few days late, but Mr. D... "KNOW I Know" vs "NOW I Know"? Or completely intentional?

Ugh. Good catch, Brawn. Must have been the zombies fried my brain ...
