Resident Evil: Extinction

This week we are doing the third movie in the series.

We're doing Resident Evil Extinction, which is in a direct sequel from the 2004 film Resident Evil Apocalypse, which is what we did last week.

So, yeah, we are out of Raccoon City and now moving through the Mojave Desert on our way to Alaska? Yeah.

maybe i yeah it's we're gonna we're gonna talk about a lot of the same names from the last film uh entirely different setting and um i don't know i it's i'm i'm starting to question how scary these movies are but i'm getting ahead of myself

Crazy.

All right, well, let's talk about a movie that is nowhere near the top ten list.

But it held its own when it came out, and that's 2007's Resident Evil Extinction.

So, Brad, take us back to 2007, and how did this movie do when it was released to the masses?

Old people music, really martial system like it.

From there, we move into another one set outside Las Vegas, but part of Las Vegas, Resident Evil Extinction.

Now, I have seen it.

It starts to get into that point in time where it's like, yeah, okay, whatever.

I love it.

Uh, Let's see, I believe it was Resident Evil Extinction is the movie where Carlos, as played by that really, really hot guy from The Mummy, who plays, like, the Egyptian, like...

God, I don't remember the mummy with Brendan Fraser very much, but I saw it

once in theater.

editor

Niven Howie, we talked about him before because he did Resident Evil Extinction in 2007.

Here's an interesting note though this time.

Rather than routinely cutting in 2D and switching to 3D for screenings, the team worked in 3D throughout the edit using newly available Avid software.

Who would have thought? Alice returning for her fourth film as Alice.

I think this is interesting.

If you go and look at what her career was like between Resident Evil Extinction, which was 2007, to Resident Evil Afterlife in 2010, there's two movies that show up.

The first is a perfect getaway from 2009, and the next is from the same year, the fourth kind from 2009.

Then there's Resident Evil Apocalypse.

Resident Evil Extinction.

Resident Evil Afterlife.

Resident Evil Retribution.

Yeah.

uh i'm on another podcast called uh zombie dogs and we do uh all we talk about are resident evil games resident evil movies um oh god i watched resident evil extinction two weeks ago

how was it best thing ever

it's bad no it's bad it's bad and i gotta watch the other ones

We're making a tier list of the Resident Evil games, the mainline entries.

And then we're doing the movie ones are like on its own separate movie list that we have.

Right now, I think out of the 60 movies that my other guys have rated, Resident Evil Extinction is last.

Whoa.

...

Resident Evil Apocalypse, Resident Evil Extinction, Resident Evil Afterlife, Resident Evil Retribution, and then 2016's Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, which was also, all of them, I think, were directed by Paul W's An- WS-

Yeah

... or, what the shit, Anderson.

Uh, this week we are doing the third s- uh, movie in the series.

We're doing Resident Evil: Extinction, which is in a direct sequel from the 20, uh, '04 film, uh, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, which is what we did last week.

So yeah, we are out of Raccoon City and now moving through the Mojave Desert on our way to Alaska, question mark.

[laughs]

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

That's, that is finally getting a sequel, I believe.

I like, I like World War Z.
