Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2017)

The film is great. In fact, the majority of the franchises' movies are spectacular. The reason most people disagree is because the storyline can be hard to follow. The writers and directors understood the direction the films were heading. I watched all six movies consecutively, so it was easy to follow the story. However, most watched as the films came out, which would make for confusing cliffhangers and forgotten backstory.Overall, this specific film is a masterpiece. Being misunderstood is not easy, especially when you are a movie.Also many people complain about the editing and effects. "Why can't they do simple action packed scenes without shaking he camera?" First off, I have never seen an action scene without quick camera direction changes or shakiness. Second, I feel this adds to the intensity of the scene. Most people writing these reviews look at one aspect of the film, and then criticize it harshly. Don't read the reviews in the first place. Watch the movie yourself, and judge it for your tastes, not someone else's.

Alice has been led a merry dance by the Umbrella Corporation ever since their zombie virus got loose, a dance which finally leads her back to Raccoon City and a chance to bring this whole sorry mess to a halt.This is the 6th - and, it would appear from the title, final - movie in the Resident Evil franchise. This started life as a decent enough movie adaptation of a zombie shoot-'em-up videogame. Films 2 to 5 featured, guess what, running around shooting zombies while assorted cast members survived (or didn't) in locations which gradually strayed further and further from Raccoon City while more details of the Umbrella Corporation's nefarious plans were revealed in dribs and drabs.Film 6 contains further revelations, none of which come as vast surprises. It also contains much running around, being pursued by zombies (and also a zombie/vampire/dragon/pterodactyl thingie, I'm not sure how that fits with zombified humans), shooting, cutting, slicing, squashing, and Blowing Sh!t Up. There is a ticking clock in the script which seems to have no purpose other than to build up suspense in a completely half-*ssed way: its rationale makes no sense at all.What the film doesn't have is any plot worthy of the name. And what little it does have is incoherent nonsense - I am unsure what the Umbrella Corporation expects to gain from destroying the entire population of the world and replacing it with hordes of mindless ravening cannibals, for instance. These films were never about the story. They were about replicating on screen the adrenaline-laced videogame experience of being pursued by zombies, and blowing them away before they were able to snack on you. And, to that extent, I guess this film is successful even though it is incredibly dark - the underground base at Raccoon City forgot to pay its electricity bill - and most of the action camerawork is so jittery that it is often difficult to follow the geography of what is happening.If you liked the others, then see this one so that you'll know how the saga ends - oh, please let it end! Milla Jovovich deserves to have a lie down. But I can't think of another reason to see it.

Where do I begin, well we finally made it to the end of the series. It's underwhelming at best,but it is the end, and I'm glad it finally finished. Milla jovovich is back with Ali Larter, the only other actor from the previous films to return for the last film surprisingly.The story, Alice has 48 hrs.to find the anti-virus and save the world before it's too late to save humanity (Something like that).This film is just OK, but what makes it lack is both the cinematography and story. First off, there is too much shaky cam, now hand held is OK but this has a lot of shaky cam which is distracting. But luckily it's mostly shaky at the beginning and less shaky (still shaky but less around 30 minutes) so you can actually see what is going on, which is good.Now on to the story, the story is just plain lazy from what I remember the film completely ignores Extinction by disregarding the plot device that her blood is the cure to stop the T-virus, but in this film the antivirus is use to stop the T-virus? Why? This makes no sense at all, and why set up that Alice's blood is the cure, if Paul Anderson the director/writer was going to use that plot device why wouldn't he just pay it off in this film? I don't understand why this was so hard for him to write that in this one, but this series is full of inconsistency's like that, simply lazy writing that's why.On to the good news,Milla Jovovich has never looked better she looks great in her black sports pants and tank top and for the first time she has boobs and I would say an A-cup and she has nice cleavage but she went into this one after she gave birth to her second child and her first child plays The Red Queen, who for some reason is now good? Ali Larter doesn't get to do very much but I'm glad at least she was in it.Overall a so-so finish to the series, but it cold have been better, manly in writing, but if I were you I would go into this with caution because many have expressed dissatisfaction with it including my one of my buddies.I give it a 3/10. I still like it, but it does lack and I'm at least glad it's finally finished.

Alice goes back to Raccoon City, back to the Hive to stop Umbrella and save the world. Done. That's it. No more. I've had it up to here *raises up arm* with zombies, clones, Paul W.S. Anderson, bad visual effects, ridiculous creatures that make no sense, Umbrella, Paul W.S. Anderson, T-Virus, antivirus, Las Plagas virus, Paul W.S. Anderson's mother's virus and lifeless supporting characters. Six films Anderson has milked out of one video game adaptation...six!? Yet we stupidly watch them at the cinema and buy the blurays like zombies being attracted to human flesh. We fuelled this! This is the worst of the bunch by far. It makes 'Retribution' look like a flipping entertainment masterpiece. The editing was atrocious, more quick cuts than Anderson shouting "Milla, babe...could you do another forward flip for me? Thanks Hun!". I literally could not focus on the action sequences, my eyes were spiralling out of control. The most undeveloped bunch of supporting characters of the series. Claire Redfield was underused. Wesker was substituted to be simply a pawn. He is supposed to be the main antagonist!? You can't just throw him away like a wet towel soaking in Anderson's sweat from all the hard work writing the script!? No! Nooo! I won't have it!! Then all of this business about the antivirus (which has taken us six films to discover), more clones just to bring back Dr Isaacs into the fray, a second act that imitated 'Saw' and weird flying enormous bat things!? Are you telling me Umbrella was testing on bats!? BATS!? What even is that! I'm done. I can't take it anymore. Six films people, six...flipping...films. This was underwhelming to the maximum, but atleast Milla Jovovich was having fun right? That's obviously the main thing because now my life is complete knowing she was having fun. Life. Complete. This franchise...it's killed me, honestly. I swear to God if we get "Resident Evil: Resurrection" in a few years, I will find you Anderson...
