Resident Evil: Extinction

It's Mila Jojovich and a bunch of pretty kids running around the desert fighting zombies. Thankfully a lot of the pretty kids get eaten by the zombies.

After some virus has turned most of the population of the world into mindless zombies bent on killing people and turned the earth into a barren wasteland a few pockets of humanity survive. One of these pockets is a convoy of people that drive around in big SUV's (H2's no less) collecting gas and survivors. The poeple are mostly made up of young Lindsay Lohan wanna be girls. Actually seeing them driving around in an H2 is quite appropriate since it's probably what they do on a daily basis in their regular lives, but they simply were not an ounce beleivable as rough and tough survivors of an apokalypse. I think Alyiah was one of them but what do I know. Anyway they hook up with Mila and kick zombie ass, except that a lot of those starlets get eaten on the way. Which is fun. Actually having these girls in the film made Mila Jojovich seem that much more credible. She had a real sense of having done it all before sadness about her I really liked.

There was lots of convoluded plot about super domesticated zombies, Mila having special powers, unafected areas in Canada, on and on as is usually the case in these video game movies. Since I haven't played the game and didn't care I didn't really pay attention to the plot. I just sat back and enjoyed Mila killing zombies with knives and machetes, zombies getting machine gunned, and young startlets getting eaten.

What worked:

It's rated R and the violence was there. I like zombies that eat people so that was fun. The action set pieces were on the low budget side, but this is a low budget zombie thing so.

Gripes:

The acting was really bad. I could see the acting coaches lurking in the shadows. These kids just don't have talent and shouldn't act. The killer birds sequence was stupid too but it did thankfully kill Alyiah.

Was it Better than Dungeons and Dragons:
Oh yeah. R rating alone makes it better, throw in zombies and some bloody kills and you're in a different league from D&D.

Mediocrity Scale:

Pretty Mediocre.

Food:

I think we had albino Oreo Cakesters. They're discounted at the supermarket and rightfully so. It's kind of like a twinky burger type thing. I could feel the sugar grains in the filling; not high quality stuff. We also had another flavour of Fanta, I think it was grape, I just remember it was gross.
