In Extinction, her powers are even more developed - she displays even greater control over her telekinesis (though she experiences blackouts and massive headaches if she pushes her powers too far). For example, in Resident Evil: Apocalypse, after her exposure to the T-virus, she displays psychic powers akin to those of Alexia Ashford. Alice's superhuman abilities, as well as the use of various styles of martial arts and gunplay make her something of a superhero character. Alice is an "iconic figure and is closely associated with the series," becoming more skilled and rugged throughout the series. In Resident Evil: Apocalypse and Resident Evil: Extinction, her character is represented as "a supremely efficient killing machine" and bio-weapon. In the first film, Resident Evil, Alice is depicted as suffering from amnesia, gradually realizing her abilities as a highly trained private security operative. Although the name Alice was given as the character's name prior to Resident Evil's release and is listed in the credits, her name is not actually spoken until the second film, Resident Evil: Apocalypse. Despite this, the film contains various references to the work, including Alice's name. Anderson initially toyed with the idea of the film being an allegory to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, but the idea was not followed through completely. Alice also appears in the film's novelizations which go into greater detail of her backstory.Īlice is an original character created for the films, although Anderson noted that Alice was based on the strong women in the Resident Evil games. The plot of each film generally revolves around her struggle with the Umbrella Corporation. Some movies get better with age, and surprisingly this is one of them.Milla Jovovich as Alice in Resident Evil: AfterlifeĪlice (portrayed by Milla Jovovich) is the protagonist of the Resident Evil film series. It has enough good qualities to make it watchable. Is it a great movie? No, but I don't think it's a bad movie either. But towards the end when again it's like guys with tentacles coming out of their face, or Alice being super powered, it's dumb and the effects are bad. When this is a straight up zombie movie, it's awesome. But the umbrella corporation find them, and they have to make it out alive. She meets up with a group in the Nevada desert, some of whom she had teamed with in the second movie. Here, Alice(who has superpowers) is looking for fellow survivors, as the world has basically been overrun by the t virus. I really liked the way the movie looks when it's in the desert(the only thing I like when I saw it the first time), and it really pops off of Blu-Ray. Now revisiting the movie, I find this to actually be a much better experience, and along with the second movie the best of the series. I found it to be boring, pretentious, and just overall not a very good movie. The first time I watched this was in the theater, and I fell asleep. What is the arc for the movie? Or any character at all? Well, that's enough ranting about a film I could care less about. Iain Glenn is fittingly over-the-top, but why in the world does he turn into a prototypical monster in the end? At that point, the film is expectedly off the rails. She's been a constant bright spot through each of the first three films, but I find it hard to believe that it's enough to give a film like this a positive review. Plus, the zombies (or whatever they are calling the undead creatures) are now able to run around and climb on top of cars and buildings? I don't know about that.ĭo I enjoy seeing Milla Jovovich in this role? Of course. In fact, I'm not entirely sure what any of the characters were ultimately trying to accomplish.Ĭharacters that I thought were supposed to be important are either non-existent or given anti-climatic deaths. But even with another new setting in the desert (ala Mad Max), the plot never takes any exciting twists and turns.
Meanwhile, Alice's life of solitude has apparently given her telekinetic abilities.
'Extinction' picks up a few years after the end of 'Apocalypse' as Alice left her group in hopes of keeping them safe from the remnants of Umbrella Corp, who are tracking Alice in order to produce more of the anti-virus.

As hard as I try to get invested in this post-apocalyptic series, the series just keeps getting dumber. Resident Evil Extinction manages to dumb down the plot, action, and characters since the last film, which is an impressive "accomplishment".
