movie forecast: resident evil: extinction

editor's note: for a detailed explanation of a movie forecast, click here

it is rare that someone would buy and play a certain video game based solely on its plot, so it has never made any sense to make a movie based on the story of one. resident evil: extinction, the third movie in its series, continues the tradition of terrible movies based on video games. based on what i've seen from the first two resident evil movies [i don't know how this happened], i have no idea why a third one would be made. the first two movies were awful, and i'm certain that the third one will not be an exception. i would say that these movies have tarnished milla jovovich's credibility, but that would not be an accurate statement.

at any rate, resident evil: extinction will be more of the same garbage that is the first two films. in keeping with the first two movies, the plot will be juvenile, the cgi will be sub-par [which is ironic since this is based a video game] and the acting will leave much to be desired, to put it nicely. the funny thing is that i'm not sure that fans of the resident evil video games even like these movies. i suppose my only solace is that this movie lives up to its name.

prognosis : 3/10
