Trivia:

The production still of Alice (Milla Jovovich) holding two Kukri knives is a visual reference to Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)'s Poster.

Goofs:

Plot holes: Alice notes that instead of driving to Alaska, they will fly there. So when they breach the gates of the Umbrella compound, they all load up into the helicopter and take off. Claire is the pilot, however, it is never mentioned in the movie that she, nor anyone else, has experience flying. Flying a helicopter is not the same as driving a Hummer.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Dr. Isaacs: Take a sample of her blood, and then get rid of that.

A lot better then i expected!

After the second movie i was ready for this one to be cheap and boring... But this film totally proved me wrong. It contains The plot and suspense the first film had and the action the second film had. Perfect combo! The story is beyond amazing, Very creepy in a way yet totally awesome for the people in the theater watching it all play out. An apocalyptic world with few human survivors banding together, fighting, traveling etc. to try to find a place of safety from the infection and all the dangers that come with it. I'm guessing if your on this page you have read the plot so Anyways back to the review. The film was a pleasant surprise... though there was one setback, There wasn't much time for any info or background on important members of the convoy, all you know is they are there... Your not really given time to hear a little out each one and kind of get each one to have there own amount of screen time due to the lack of time the film was working with, I mean come on... Why not make it 2 hours and add a little more in? Anyways besides that i thought the movie was a blast to watch and i am definitely going back to the theater sometime this weekend to see it again...
