I quite like the film series but they have definitely been going downhill since the third movie. Still really entertaining though and I'm really looking forward to to this as another in the franchise and the end to it all. There's been a fairly big gap between this and the last one as well, so I think I'll have to actually re-watch Afterlife and Retribution again before seeing this.

Sigh. I live in a world where Dredd never got a sequel, yet Resident Evil contrived to spawn 5 of them.

Hande hoche!

It's nearly the cinematic equivalent of fast food. Still have enjoyed them all, remember being one of three in a cinema watching Retribution. Will inevitably end up going to see this in January.

You also have another Underworld film to look forward to.

I've hated these movies from the get go, gave up after the 3rd one.

I'm really hoping for a proper reboot, heck they could even make a great TV show out of it

I think The Walking Dead may have cornered the market for zombies on tv, unfortunately. I'd love a Netflix series or something. The first two games could make for great tv or film viewing.

Ah! but resident evil has ZOMBIE DOGS and many mutants and set in a world thats still whole and not far gone. Capable of an intricate story.

I'd love to see netflix pick it up, their production style/creativity would be perfect.

That's a great point!

I went to a press screening of the last one, having not seen once since the first.

It is one of the few films I've seen in recent years that I would happily state has absolutely no redeeming features whatsoever.

You could actually fit the meaningful narrative progression in the film into a five minute short. It's the cinematic equivalent of a crappy side quest.

Some friends insist I need to watch all these that they are great.

Massive gamer as much as the next, but after the first film I thought was ok, then the trainwreck of the second, I havn't watched anymore.

Think I will watch them over the weekend just to stop people hassling me to watch them

ps3lover

I LOVE this series, Alice is one of my favourite action movie leads! Especially loved her team up with Clair in the later movies :-)
Don't like the poster though, did Alice enter The Hunger Games?

They pretty much get worse as they go so don't let anyone set you up for a fall... Loadsa fun though!

I love the second and enjoyed all but the trainwreck that was the last one.
I'll be seeing this just so I know how it ends, hopefully it will be enjoyable.

I wish the Alice franchise would just die already , and they actually started making Resident Evil movies

I think it will after this one, I read somewhere it's supposed to be Milla Jovalongnames final one. If that is still accurate it will more than likely be rebooted after that.

The_Valeyard

Ahhhhh



This explains all the Umbrella Corporation cars been seen around the usa last few days.

TerrorFirmer

That reminds me, I actually started to assemble an Umbrella Corp outfit based on the soldiers in the movie, got about 80% done and just flung it in the wardrobe for the last few years! Maybe time to finish it off now that the movie franchise is about to come to an end...

TerrorFirmer

And this is about as far as I got with Jill Valentine....:(

it certainly looks to be delivering on what it promised at the end of the last one for once !

Resident Evil recap from Milla before The Final Chapter is released next month.

constitutionus

just back from seeing this and i thought it was good.

not brilliant, but not the trash the reviews are making it out to be. certianly its much better than the last underworld film

it works very well as an end to the series should they wish to leave it at this and it actually serves up some actual character development for alice. theres some nice nods of the heads to the other flims in the series and all in all its a good aul fashioned popcorn muncher.

in fact i have to point out how good looking this film is. the views of washington, racoon city, Manhattan etc are gorgeous depictions of "post apocalypes" cities and the effects for the hordes of zombies and the new creatures really are top notch.

my main complaint is the fuking "shakey cam" tecnique . it got very old VERY Fooking fast and in one or two of the actions sequences i found myself wanting to just look away as it was irritating me so much. there was shades of Transformers 1 going on in here at times where it was very hard to catch what was going on.

also i saw it in Vue and i dont know what the story was with their sound system but ive been at quiter raves. it was bleeding deafening . that might just be a Vue issue though a i tried to go see it yesterday and half the shows were cancelled so maybe this was the best they could do.

still all in all if you liked the others you'll like this one too and it makes a nice jumping off point if ya dont want to have anything to do with the franchise again.

i'd give it just about a 7 outta 10.

ok stuff for a rainy afternoon, or beers on DVD later.

Man, I thought this was absolutely horrible, utter trash almost totally devoid of any redeeming features whatsoever, other than the fact that it somehow remains watchable for most of the duration.

The storyline is beyond absurd, the characters are almost non existant, the editing - I don't know what the hell they were thinking, but it's nearly impossible to see what's going on in action scenes with the sheer quantity of fast, rapid edits, the film looks horrible.

The more I think about it the angrier I get - the first two are good films and I have a lot of time for them, they started sliding with the third one and went off the rails completely with the fourth and fifth, but against all expectations this one managed to be twice as feeble as the previous outing, which actually looks like Citizen Kane in comparison.

The movie honestly sucks so bad, as much as I wanted to find good in it.

If I had to praise something it would be Ian Glen's performance - frankly he makes the film - some decent apocalyptic visuals and Mila....Mila still has it.

Overall though it's a total stinker and hands down the worst film in the franchise by a long shot. I would very generously award it a 2/10. Instantly forgettable garbage.

I went to see it in the cinema, first time since the third one, when i finally gave up on it completely. Anyway the burds a fan of the movie series so i went to see this one. And yeah, woeful, its as if the director and producers made a bet to see how much they could make on a movie by putting in little to no effort.

When they got to the hive and the lame predictable twist arrived, my brain pretty much gave up and turned off completely when the action sequences following started, i fell asleep for the majority of the following scenes until the last scene or two. And i never fall asleep in movies, shouldnt be possible with an action movie

I was hoping this would be the last one and someone else could do it properly, but they still managed to leave it open with the ending they gave us, final chapter my ass :mad:

TerrorFirmer

So I've been thinking about this more today and now that I've had more time to do just that, there are so many questions as to what the hell Paul WS Anderson was thinking when he penned and directed this.

Spoilers below!

I mean he wrote all of the movies, for god sake, so I can't understand the glaring plot holes and inconsistencies that plague The Final Chapter.

Why is there no mention of the significant characters of Leon, Chris, Ada, etc in this movie, despite the last movie ending on a cliffhanger with them all included? I mean Claire is in this movie, and even she doesn't mention her own brother at all! An entire cast disappears with barely a word of explanation offered.

What the hell was the entire point of the film 'Retribution' if Wesker allegedly betrayed them at Washington after the events of that movie, and why wasn't this explained at all in TFC other than some vague line about 'betrayal'? I mean the film has a bloody intro, couldn't they have fit it in there to offer a bit of cohesion and consistency in the story?

It's so disjointed and flows so poorly it feels like watching the final season of a TV show where you've inadvertently skipped an episode or two.

Why did they decide to ignore the storyline of previous movies? In Apocalypse Dr Ashford created to T-Virus to save his wheelchair bound daughter, who also served as the basis for the Red Queen. In this, we are not only given a totally different origin story for the T-Virus involving a different child, we're also told that the Red Queen is modeled on that new child. In fact, Umbrella Corp's entire story is radically altered in this movie.

Speaking of Red Queen, what the hell is up with her random behavior? Homicidal AI maniac in the 1st movie, flip flops between good and bad in others, and now in this one we're supposed to buy that she's a) good and b) unable to willingly harm any umbrella employees (despite willfully murdering how many in the 2002 movie?)

And Wesker - what the hell is the deal here? Aside from the point raised above re: Retribution, why is Wesker an almost immortal super-solider in that film capable of withstanding gunfire, bombs, etc - and in TFC he gets crushed by a door and he dies without really doing anything?

If Umbrella really decided to 'end the world' via deliberately releasing the T-Virus and restart the world (which, as well as being an outrageously bad story, also does not add up, at all, with events established in the first movies), why in the name of god would they fire a nuke directly at Raccoon City when The Hive, the new cradle of civilization as revealed in The Final Chapter, was right there?

I mean, the same bloody guy wrote all these movies, but they don't make any sense or add up at all. The Final Chapter is almost a re-boot, it's so radically dismissive of the storyline established in earlier films in the franchise to the point of flat out ignoring them at times just for the sake of convenience.

The movie is a bad joke and an insult, a new level of bad in a franchise which I genuinely thought had hit rock bottom with Retribution in 2012 and could only move onwards and upwards. If only I knew then what I know now.

Watched this tonight and after reading the post just above this he has it all nailed ....

Just a horrible horrible film for me the worst part of it all

SPOILER BELOW




Alice the bitch surviving at the end such a ****ing cop out and leaving it wide open for another one.....Someone please put this Alice franchise out of its misery , I hope to god the rumoured Resident Evil Nexflix show comes to fruition because outside of the few animes there hasn't been a live action one for me

Paul Anderson please go away and make an original IP for you to jack off to your wife beating people up thanks

Cantona's Collars

I watched this last night just to complete the series. A horrible mess,as was said before,everything that happened previously was ignored just for the sake of the 'story' in this movie. Isaac is basically a cyborg who has clones running around,Wesker went from a badass to just wandering around a room until he died pathetically.

ohnonotgmail

The first Resident Evil film that i couldnt watch all the way through. Not even the divine Mila
could stop me from turning it off. If i had watched it in the cinema i would have walked out.

Slydice

Ah that was grand. For finishing up a six film series, that wasn't near the worst I've seen.

Hat tips all round and not a completely unthought-out overall plot.

Are you looking for bad films?

There's an advanced search on imdb for that. Here's just a 5 sec try:
http://www.imdb.com/search/title?num_votes=1000,1000000&user_rating=,2.0

For crap endings, invest a shed load of time and watch the TV series Lost.

I was hoping Wesker would have a better part in it. It's not as bad as Retribution though.

They are all B-movie/straight to dvd turds though, not a bigish budget cinema release... :rolleyes:

That's from the animated film series, which takes place in the videogame series.

Resident Evil: Degeneration (2008) - Set between RE4 and RE5.
Resident Evil: Damnation (2012) - Set between RE5 and RE6.
Resident Evil: Vendetta (2017) - Set between RE6 and RE7.

Watched it last night and really enjoyed it a proper Resident Evil movie , Leon, Chris Redfield and Rebecca Chambers have all prominent parts in it

Bumping the thread as Resident Evil fans rejoice: the franchise has finally been wrested from Paul WS Anderson's hands. A reboot is coming:

https://deadline.com/2020/10/resident-evil-reboot-kaya-scodelario-robbie-amell-hannah-john-kamen-origin-story-1234591729/

Constantin Film has set in motion a new adaptation to add to the ever-expanding Resident Evil movie franchise. Constantin and writer-director Johannes Roberts said Tuesday that have conceived an official origin story adaptation with faithful ties to Capcom’s classic survival horror games. This story is set in 1998 on a fateful night in Raccoon City.

Starring in the roles of the iconic game characters will be Maze Runner‘s Kaya Scodelario as Claire Redfield alongside Hannah John-Kamen (Ant-Man and the Wasp) as Jill Valentine, Robbie Amell (Upload) as Chris Redfield, Tom Hopper (The Umbrella Academy) as Albert Wesker, Avan Jogia (Zombieland: Double Tap) as Leon S. Kennedy, and Neal McDonough (Yellowstone) as William Birkin.

Will it have any connection to the Netflix live action series?

The breaking Deadline article doesn't say, though given the nature of cross-media these days I wouldn't be surprised if it was. This reboot is supposedly set around the very first two games, so the TV show could easily set itself in Racoon City during the outbreak, a parallel story.

Gas they have Neal McDonough in it and not playing Wesker when he's made a career out of playing shady Wesker type roles. :pac:

When I saw the cast summary I immediately presumed McDonagh was playing Wesker. Guess he has aged out of the role?

I'd be fine with an older Wesker, McDonough just did a similar role in Van Helsing. A younger dude trying to crack a super human virus seems a bit redundant.

Hande hoche!

For the masochists, Anderson's complete saga will be out on 4K next month.
