We are having a debate amongst my friends about the consequences of mythological monsters fighting/infecting each other.  For example;  What would be the implications of a zombie biting a vampire or vice versa.  We have little doubt that a Zombie could infect a werewolf but how would that affect his metamorphosis, if at all?  So let me know what you think and what rules you are going by for eache character (i.e. Romero Zombies, Rice Vampires). 

Thought everyone might enjoy a license plate in the parking lot at work.  I took it quite a while ago and have only recently got around to uploading it.  The car is a PT Cruiser.

Zombies

Resident Evil Extinction promised nothing but a scantly clad Milla Jovovich and lots of zombies. On that front it delivered. If you are going to this movie to see a well thought out and contemplative story, maybe you didn't watch the first two movies.

In the first two Resident Evil installments we see the spread of the zombie creating T virus through the Umbrella Corporation compound and then through Raccoon City. In Extinction, the virus has decimated the Earth. Five years later and the T virus has spread to both plant and animal populations making the Earth a barren waste land.

Ali Larter plays Claire, a tough as nails mother figure for a band of scavenging survivors. She is joined by the returning Oded Fehr as Carlos. This ragtag group roams town to town trying to stay away from the zombies. The desert is their playground as it was sparsely populated in the first place. Alice, Milla Jovovich, has the same game plan and soon meets up with the group. Umbrella Corp. isn't done with Alice though and that puts the whole group in danger.

There are scenes in this movie that will have you rolling your eyes, but the movie had a fun charm to it. The acting is well done all around and there are several homages to zombie movies that have come before. If you like things jumping out at you, you will not be disappointed. This movie isn't smart or cutting edge, and never claims to be. Resident Evil: Extinction is just pure zombie killing action. Not for everyone but fun for some.

The final scene of the movie definitely reveals a world that is about to emerge that I would love living in.
