Resident Evil: The Final Chapter
By Rouén Robinson
Mar 2, 2017 - 4:42:05 PM
The latest and emptiest installment in the franchise
A super soldier stripped of her psychic abilities becomes the only hope
the human race has against apocalyptic obliteration. As she returns to
the city where it all began, she must rally the remaining survivors for a
climactic battle against the ravenous hordes of undead and the
corporation responsible for the state of the world.
Alice
is the once super-powered soldier working against the Umbrella
Corporation to put a stop to their T-virus that caused the destruction
of the world, but there are still secrets trapped inside of her that she
must unlock to do this. Claire Redfield is leader of a group of
survivors trying to stay alive in Raccoon City who is willing to risk it
all to help Alice find a way to stop the T-Virus. Albert Wesker is the
super soldier loyal to the Umbrella Corporation who has been maintaining
its Hive facility in Raccoon City until he is given orders to do
otherwise. Dr. Alexander Isaacs is the current head of the Umbrella
Corporation who has made it his life goal to wipe Alice and her clones
off the face of the Earth before rebuilding it in his image.
Resident
Evil: The Final Chapter is a mess of convoluted science fiction, horror
and action movie cliches crammed into a badly edited feature film. The
promise that this is the last installment is major good news as
almost everything in this movie is stolen from better films with
something original to say. This movie even had the obligatory Ruby Rose
2017 movie appearance that feels like a trend that is about to overstay
its welcome due to overexposure. It feels like Paul W. S. Anderson has
run out of ideas for this film series and because of that every scene
feels like it was a chore to film as much as it is headache inducing to
watch. There is so much wrong with this motion picture that hearing
about the people who lost life and limb in its production feels like the
ultimate insult to the blood, sweat & tears put into this botched
theatrical release.
I rate this flick a rating of 2 out of 5.
