"Resident Evil: Extinction" in 60 Seconds [Spoilers]

Be warned, this post has spoilers if you want to watch the movie...

(Alice wakes up in a shower)

AUDIENCE: We saw this in the first movie.

(Alice turns the corner and walks into the laser hall where half the cast of the first movie died.)

AUDIENCE: Oooh, this is different.

(Through a variety of acrobatics, Alice jumps up into the vent, shimmies down a ventilation shaft, and eventually gets killed by an obscure trap that pops up out of the floor.)

BAD GUY: Meh, toss her corpse.

(Opening credits.)

(Claire Renfield and company from the second movie travel through the desert.)

CLAIRE: Hey, look, a hotel. Go check it out, guys.

(Mike Epps goes and gets bitten by a zombie.)

MIKE: Ouch, that hurt. Okay, it's clear.

(After a night of casual sex, everyone wakes up to alarms being set off by Edgar Allan Poe's worst nightmare...Ravens times two to the power of ∞ - 1.)

EVERYONE: Oh, shit, a Hitchcock homage.

(Birds freak out, kill one-third of the cast. Alice shows up and causes a giant fireball in the sky.)

CLAIRE: What the fuck?
ALICE: Evidently, I'm telekinetic now.
CLAIRE: Hmm...I'm going to go be moody now.

(Meanwhile in a different Umbrella hive.)

RED QUEEN #2: Hey, bad guy, I can detect psychic people now.
BAD GUY: Cool. Let me go borrow these extras from "28 Weeks Later" and send them to go kill Alice.

(Some plot stuff happens.)

CLAIRE: Okay, we have a choice. We can live, or we can go on a roadtrip to Vegas.
EVERYONE: Woohoo! Roadtrip! Take it off!

(Everyone arrives in Vegas. Zombies pop out of a freight container, all wearing the exact same outfit.)

PAUL W.S. ANDERSON: See, we wanted to replicate the experience of playing a video game with limited texture memory here, so...
AUDIENCE: Shh...we want to see Alice kick ass!

(Alice kicks ass.)

BAD GUY: She's kicking too much ass. Hit the PAUSE button.

(Henchman picks up his DUALSHOCK(tm) 2 controller and hits PAUSE. Alice stands still. Another third of the cast dies.)

HENCHMAN: Oh, shit, she's going Psycho Mantis on our ass!

(Alice unpauses herself and kills all of the bad guy's henchmen.)

BAD GUY: Run away!

(Bad guy gets bitten by one of his borrowed extras from "28 Weeks Later" and gets flown off to the Vegas hive.)

ALICE: Okay, now that enough people are dead, let's go get a helicopter to fly everyone else away.

(Alice goes and gets a helicopter for everyone else, then goes down into the Vegas hive.)

ALICE: Funny, it looks like I'm playing "Doom 3" on the Xbox...guess I don't need to worry about vertical aiming.
RED QUEEN #2: Not so fast, Alice.
ALICE: Hey, holobitch, whazzup?
RED QUEEN #2: Dr. Isaac...
ALICE: Who?
RED QUEEN #2: I think you call him "bad guy."
ALICE: Ah, okay. Go on.
RED QUEEN #2: "Bad guy" has turned into a bad extra from Japanese tentacle porn.
ALICE: Great...maybe now we can earn this "R."

(Very anticlimactic battle occurs.)

ALICE: Cool. Now let's show hundreds of clones of me so we can set up for "Resident Evil 4."

(End credits.)

Beautiful review...I'll still eventually see it. Good to know that your spoilers didn't really spoil anything. ;)

If anybody goes into this film expecting cinematic greatness, they're watching for all the wrong reasons. ;)
