This third instalment in the game-derived undead horror franchise finds the biogenetically enhanced Alice (Milla Jovovich) wandering into Mad Max territory. Joining up with an uninfected armoured convoy (led by Ali Larter from Heroes), Alice has to fight off yet more hordes of zombies and keep one step ahead of the megalomaniacal Dr Isaacs (Iain Glen), who's after her DNA. The routine script is at least given an injection of interest by Highlander director Russell Mulcahy's keen eye for epic visuals, and playful homages to Planet of the Apes, The Birds and spaghetti westerns. Otherwise, it's business as usual, and rampant CGI means the splatter, zombies and mutant crow flocks only register as remote cartoon chills. The acting is by rote, too, with Glen's Shakespearean delivery seemingly from a different movie.

Years after the Racoon City catastrophe, survivors travel across the Nevada desert, hoping to make it to Alaska. Alice joins the caravan and their fight against hordes of zombies and the evil Umbrella Corp.
