"Despite the highly derivative script, Extinction is fast-paced and action-packed, thanks in large part to veteran director Russell Mulcahy (who helmed the first two Highlander films), who keeps things moving while making the battles relatively coherent (unlike in the previous sequel, where it looked like the fight scenes were edited in a blender). It also doesn’t hurt to have Jovovich, one of the most graceful and charismatic action stars working today, in the lead... Resident Evil: Extinction is, in many ways, the closest film in the series to its videogame roots. Characters run around, punch, kick and try really hard not to get eaten, which is all any player of the game would do. It may not be original... but it’s also tight, lean and brisk, and that makes it the best in the series so far — if only by default." - Ed Moore, Film Monthly
