In
the film, the Umbrella Corporation’s deadly T-virus continues to ravage the
Earth, transforming the global population into legions of the flesh eating
Undead. The human race’s last and only hope, Alice (Milla Jovovich), awakens in
the heart of Umbrella's most clandestine operations facility and unveils more
of her mysterious past as she delves further into the complex. Without a safe
haven, Alice continues to hunt those responsible for the outbreak; a chase that
takes her from Tokyo to New York, Washington, D.C. and Moscow, culminating in a
mind-blowing revelation that will force her to rethink everything that she once
thought to be true. Aided by newfound allies and familiar friends, Alice must
fight to survive long enough to escape a hostile world on the brink of
oblivion. The countdown has begun.
In
the U.S., the film has already received positive reviews ahead of its grand
opening.
