When a virus leaks from a top-secret facility, turning all resident researchers into ravenous zombies and their lab animals into mutated hounds from hell, the government sends in an elite military task force to contain the outbreak. Alice and Rain are charged with leading the mission. But they only have three hours before the pathogen becomes airborne and infects the world.

What are critics saying?
Baltimore Sun by Chris Kaltenbach
About as good as the genre gets.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
Handsome and sometimes creepy, but formulaic in the extreme.
Austin Chronicle by Marc Savlov
Is this the future of horror or just some bizarre fluke? Don't ask me, I'm having too much fun to care.
Evil's one strong presence is lead Milla Jovovich -- and not because the script gives her supercop/soldier anything interesting to say.
Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman
A splattery futuristic zombie thriller, designed as a jolt-a-minute freakout for young audiences who were numbed into submission long ago.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) by Rick Groen
While computer games can boast an abundance of nifty graphics and odious villains and plucky protagonists on long journeys, they're invariably a tad wanting in the cinematic essentials -- you know, stuff like plot and characterization and theme.
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
The movie is "Dawn of the Dead" crossed with "John Carpenter's "Ghosts of Mars," with zombies not as ghoulish as the first and trains not as big as the second. The movie does however have Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez.
Mildly grisly, assaultively noisy and tremendously boring.
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
The movie has a frantic staccato style that is more game-oriented than cinematic.
