A B-movie that pulls out all the stops. No shortage of inspiration from more successful titles, but let’s admit it, the atmosphere from Mad Max was really good for Resident and the bloodthirsty crows (The Birds) were at very least powerful. The action scenes are perhaps the best... of the whole trilogy (because the sun is shining and it’s easier to see through a hole in a head ;-) and the zombie with the sunglasses is darn cool. And Milla is a still really foxy, so she’s something to watch. Russell Mulcahy gave us a pleasant surprise and brought the series to a satisfying end. Well, although... We’ll see. ;-)

B-movie AF and the best RE as far as I’m concerned. The atmosphere of the desert is great and the scene with the birds and the battle in the streets of Las Vegas force me to give it a fourth star. The fight with the main villain, on the other hand, ends almost before it begins, which is a shame. Also, the ending leaves the door open for a fourth part and I’m quite looking forward to it.

Paul W.S. Anderson deserves credit for the script (especially the “raven” and “last joint” scenes), while Russell Mulcahy deserves it for the atmosphere and fast pace. The only element that doesn’t fit the genre template perfectly is Milla Jovovich – her boobs are too small for that.

I enjoyed the previous two installments, mainly because they were based on the game but didn’t lack originality. The third installment is a kind of fusion of zombie movies and a softcore version of The Road Warrior. There are more heroic acts and emotional speeches, which is a shame. The theme had a lot more potential. This way it is rather average, and I'm giving it three stars only out of force of habit.

It’s no genre milestone happening, but at least it’s a solid ride unlike the second one. Unfortunately, the ending is traditionally awkward (the concept of the superhero finale), but, there is an acceptable sense of humor (solid lines and a few delightful gore scenes). The atmosphere is decent, the zombies are brutally merciless, and Milla Jovovich is still as ugly as ever. At least it is not as stupid and action-lacking as the previous sequel. A decent standard within the genre.
