RESIDENT EVIL 3: EXTINCTION

This exciting film is an action and horror movie. It is based on a videogame. Its setting is in USA, in the future, after a virus turned people into zombies.

The Umbrella Corporation was trying to develop a cure. Since Alice (Milla Jovovich) was captured by the Umbrella Corporation, she was part of a biogenetic experiment. She could escape but now she has special abilities. Alice and a group of survivors were trying to reach Alaska. They believed that the virus was not spread in Alaska.
Alice and the survivors arrived to Las Vegas. The Umbrella Corporation located them and sent zombies. They tried to capture Alice, but she was too strong. Alice and the survivors went to the Umbrella Laboratory and stole a helicopter. The survivors flew to Alaska. Alice fought with Dr. Isaacs and won. Then she decided to face the Umbrella Corporation with an especial weapon: an army of her clones

I think it is a good movie. I like it even I had never seen the previous movies. This film is a good combination of horror, action and science fiction. This movie is the third of a trilogy about a video game but I think it won’t be the last.

TASK VI

How visual media affect people?

When we wake up we watch TV. Then, when we have breakfast we read the newspaper. Throughout the day, we read a magazine, go to the cinema, watch many kinds of TV programs, etc. Since we wake up until we go to bed, visual media is in our day. Visual media is very important in our lives. They are not only a way of entertainment, they can be used in school, like a therapy or if we want to learn another language.

There are many kinds of visual media. Some media can be helpful for people: Documentaries, news, movies, scientific magazines. On the other hand, visual media like soap operas and reality TV programmes have more disadvantages than advantages.

Benefits of the visual media:

Visual media can be used in education. There are movies and documentaries about medicine, science, art, history, math and other fields of study. Visual media allows students to increase their knowledge and also makes the class more interesting.

If we are studying another language we can use movies or TV programmes to practice our listening and learn more vocabulary.

Visual media is a good option in our free time if we choose correctly. We can know what’s happening in the whole world, watching TV or reading a magazine or a newspaper. Also, we can learn something about other countries and cultures

Disadvantages of the Visual Media:

Visual media can be an addiction. Some people need to watch TV all the time and also replaces their activities because there is their favorite programme on TV. In many families TV is like another family member. TV is present when they have breakfast, do their activities, and even when they go to the bed. Visual media also affect their decision and their opinions.

The amount of violence in visual media is incredible. TV programmes, movies and magazines can scare people or affect them. A lot of TV can be dangerous and decrease our abilities and attention capacity

Nowadays everybody has a TV at home, got to the cinema in their free time and read a newspaper or a magazine once a week at least. That’s why visual media is very important in our lives. Visual media influences in our opinion and culture. Visual media can be useful if we choose correctly.
