While this film spends the first 4-5 minutes giving you a "previously on" segment by Alice complete with clips from those films I'd still say this film is the first to really feel like you need to know the series before jumping in. I saw the film in standard 2-D and found the action scenes to still be well done. I'd actually call the film one long action sequence almost. It barely slows down as the plot requires them only 2hours to move from where they are to where they need to be before *BOOM* goes the dynamite. Since they are in a primary Umbrella testing center it allows for various creatures to return to test our heroine and her crew. Despite other entries showing you what the surface of the Earth looks like in remote areas such as Nevada and the desert this one ends with a scene in a key surface location that practically begs for a follow-up. It was a fun action film if a bit underwhelming on story content till the last few minutes. If you're a fan of the series you'll most likely enjoy it.
If you just want your zombie fix before Walking Dead starts this film may be a mixed bag for you.
