OVERALL
I walked into this movie with low expectations, and got exactly what I was looking for. A few twists here and there, but overall this movie really REALLY reminded me of George A. Romero's "Land of the Dead", which came out a few years earlier. Zombies - check. Highly protected vehicle - check. Characters you know are going to die - check.
Not looking to spoil anything, but amidst some very cool scenes the ending of this movie left me scratching my head, thinking what the heck they were going to do next... if anything. The set-up on top of set-up pointed to a great ending, but... go watch the movie and find out for yourself.
PRO vs. NO
PRO: Once again, Milla Jovovich was the highlight of the movie. If anything, watch this movie to see how the character progresses from the first two, movies I also recommend, but ONLY if you know what to expect -- zombie shoot-em-ups. Also, the scene with the crows was pretty damn cool.
NO: The movie seemed kind of short. I would have liked to learn more about certain characters before they died. Also, as cool as the ending was, it made you wonder how they can follow it up.
SIX WORD FINISH
"Good thing we like a challenge."
FINAL BELL
-- 3.5 out of 5, leaning towards 4 out of 5 -- A pretty cool movie that could have been just a bit better, with a head-scratching, but awesome, ending.
WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION?:
A good stand-alone movie, but having watch the first two movies you get a bit more out of it. You don't have to be a fan of the video game in order to enjoy the movie. Go see it, and bring plenty of popcorn.
