Resident Evil: Extinction --> January 2nd, 2008!

More specs to follow, but it will be released on January 2nd, 2008 in a standard DVD version (looks like no unrated version), Blu-Ray, a Blu-Ray 3-pack of all RE titles, and UMD.

Should be fun!

They love that date, I know Apocalypse 2-disc was around that time too. I don't think I'll be getting this one, although it was entertaining enough.

I actually liked this one the best of the three. But I can only hope that they will either remove the horrible CG enhanced Milla close-ups, or that they won't look as awful on a smaller screen.

It's a sad day when a director feels he has to "enhance" the face of a woman as beautiful as her. It accomplished nothing except making her look creepy and expressionless.

At the very least, hopefully they address it in the commentary, by either Milla or Paul Anderson or the director.

Quick turnaround. I might grab this one up once it gets cheap enough. I'm just not a huge fan of the series, but it is entertaining. The trailer for this one looked bad, so if (when) it hits $10 I'll pick it up.

well at least I can say I saw it In 2007. I enjoyed this film more than I thought I would, definately better than RE 2, by a long stretch.

Thanks for the release date! Saw this one in the theaters and looking forward to the Blu Ray.

I just hope the first film makes it to Blu Ray by itself. I already own Apocalypse on blu ray so I can't justify buying the entire box again.

I knew something was up w/ Milla's face close-up...It was too flawless esp compared to everyone else. I liked Ali Larter too in the movie.

This was definitely the best of the three. The effects were better too. Count me in for the Blu Ray 3 pack!

for what these are... popcorn... kinda 'music video' style horror...

i find 'em entertaining...

i still think the first is the best...

but i saw this one in theatre...

i'll probably get it to complete the three...

this third one seemed broken up... trying too many different things and it seemed uncertain where it was going...

I think this is the best in the series thus far. I was a little worried since there were no reviews prior to release. Always a bad sign.

Milla did look goofy. She would get in all sorts of gun fights and never mess up her makeup.

It was the cheapest movie I have seen this year. $10 movie cash and $5 popcorn money with the DVD.

I'll bite on the Trilogy Blu-Ray. I love these films, mindless horror popcorn action.

As usual, the cover art is disappointing. I really liked the silhouette outline of Milla used for the original theatrical poster art.
