The Umbrella Corporation is so so so so so so bad at everything they try to do

"yeah... kill a few, save a lot"

the search for purpose as an unforgiving, apocalyptic nightmare. the third best Mad Max movie.

"What's your name?"
"K-Mart. It's where they found me."
"Do you have another name?"
"I never liked it, and everyone I know is dead now."

i told yall these movies had a ~trans subtext~

Legally Blonde II:
Brooke Survives the Apocalypse

Russell Mulcahy does action better than Alexander Witt did in the last film, but it's too much of the smear and jumble variety for my taste. The Road Warrior desert dust and grime gives this film the most tangible environment in the series, even as it dives headfirst into CGI land, with the Hitchcock crows and mutant Ser Jorah Mormont. I admire PWSA's decision to just skip over the end of the world in an opening voiceover. The end of the last film has Alice joining a well-organized resistance group fighting a PR war against Umbrella. But never mind that: the earth is dead!

These movies fail at being good movies and good video game adaptations but damn Milla Jovovich looks so good. She looks better in each installment.

A bit of Mad Max, Carrie, The Birds and Cube! When Milla Jovovich isn't kickin zombies she slices, dices, and makes julienne fries out of them! I tell you the girl's got some mad knife skills! Should she ever tire of her acting gig I'm pretty sure she could wow them at Benihana's!

The change of setting to a stark wasteland was a pretty genius move, packing in so many influences it’s hard to keep track of. Mostly it boils down to a rif on the Road Warrior with a bit of Day of the Dead thrown in there but there’s even a bit of the Birds too. Zombie crows is something I never thought I’d be saying but I’m glad I am. This also features what’s easily the best action of the series so far, bloody and visceral, with a heavier use of practical effects making some of the kills surprisingly brutal. Mulchay pretty effectively incorporates these environments into the action making great use of armored vehicles (even without a Mad Max style car chase!) and fenced in compounds for his set-pieces plus Jovovich is game as always, selling it all effortlessly.

Milla Jovovich is legendary

Might be the best one yet or at least the most watchable. Would have made a good end to the series too actually now I think about it since it had a proper villain doing villainy things. It did feel the most like the games in that way. Alice's powers are truly whatever you want them to be!

Wesker sucks - I miss the fluctuating British accent depend on how evil he wants to appear.

Still really hate the intense music at the end with the sequel hook. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth everytime.

I liked the part with the crows & the flamethrower

Birdemic meets Fury Road

a group of survivors, navigating a harsh unforgiving world. the forests have died, the water has dried, undead roam. years have gone by. their journey takes them to las vegas where one character asks: "what happened to las vegas?"

Cool setting, fantastic Zombie makeup and fun sequences.

Continuing my watch through of this series, and as expected it’s not really improving - we have here half a VOD bog standard zombie survival film and half an engagement with the industrialism gone wild human experimentation stuff. They do marry up at the end, but I was kind of past caring by then.

The rest is a mess of bad CGI, cliche characters in skimpy clothing and the return of wooden second raters from the second film to act as cannon fodder. Milla Jovovich still struggles to convey talent for either acting or stunts.

On to the next one.

Stepping up those graphics. I've come to a conclusion that no one is safe in this film and I shouldn't get attached to any of them.
