Resident Evil: Extinction

Resident Evil: Extinction is currently streaming in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on YouTube TV, and it earns its premise rather than just borrowing genre trappings. The length is exactly right for the story it is telling — nothing rushed, nothing dragged out. With 4,661 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Milla Jovovich's performance is the anchor the more ambitious scenes need. Available now on Disney Plus — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Resident Evil: Extinction is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Resident Evil: Extinction treats its concept seriously enough to follow it all the way through. 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. Milla Jovovich and Oded Fehr lead a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. It was released in 2007. Resident Evil: Extinction resists the temptation to explain everything, trusting the audience to sit with ambiguity. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge, Resident Evil: Extinction fits the bill. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Milla Jovovich grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Once you are in, you will want to talk about it.
