Resident Evil: The Final Chapter
The Final Chaptermeets the standard for mindless thrills set by the previousResident Evilfilms, ending the series on more of a shrug than a bang.
Shortly after the events ofResident Evil : Retribution , Alice ( Milla Jovovich ) once again finds herself on her own - when it turns out what was suppose to be humankind ’s concluding stand against the zombie legion in Washington , DC was really a cakehole plant by Albert Wesker ( Shawn Roberts ) and the Umbrella Corporation , leaving manhood on the brink of quenching and Alice without her superhuman abilities . Alice then finds an unexpected ally in the Red Queen ( Ever Anderson ) , as the supercomputer inform Alice that Umbrella developed an antivirus for the T - virus and keeps it insure beneath the streets of what remains of Raccoon City .
inform by the Red Queen that she has only 48 hour to travel to Raccoon City and loose the antivirus before the Umbrella Corporation launches a last bang against the remaining survivors of the living dead apocalypse , Alice look at off for the desolated city in the hopes of save the world ’s clean from extermination . Along the way , Alice encounter not only new ally and enemy , but also an honest-to-goodness friend in Claire Redfield ( Ali Larter ) - as well as an old opposition , in the flesh of long - think - drained Umbrella laminitis Dr. Alexander Isaacs ( Ian Glen ) . Alice , Claire and their comrades thus launch a final assault against both Isaacs and Wesker , in the process uncovering even more secrets about Umbrella … as well as Alice herself .
Wife - husband twosome Milla Jovovich and Paul W.S. Anderson have been makingResident Evilmovies together for virtually fifteen years , with Jovovich headlining and Anderson writing every installment ( as well as directing the majority of them too ) in the Capcom video biz - ground dealership . Resident Evil : The Final Chapter , as its subtitle implies , is intended to suffice as the copestone to Jovovich and Anderson ’s run on theResident Evilseries - though , that is not to say the film concludes their clip on the dealership on a eminent note . The terminal Chaptermeets the standard for mindless thrills fix by the previousResident Evilfilms , ending the series on more of a shrug than a bang .
Directed by Anderson , The Final Chapterabandons the shiny surfaces and 3D filmmaking style of the last twoResident Evilmovies ( AfterlifeandRetribution , both of which were also directed by Anderson ) , by instead embracing a grungy coloring pallet and darkly - light 2D visual esthetic . The Final Chapteralso aggregate burst - favorable action with extra - nasty zombie creatures and claustrophobic set pieces that get this moving picture nearer to theResident Evilproperty ’s root in versed survival revulsion than recent " chapters " have managed to do . However , the plastic film ’s overly ramped - up redaction robs its set pieces of their tension and renders many of its airless - after part fight scenes , as well as the stunt work by Jovovich ( and her stunt double ) , semi - incomprehensible . The result is aResident Evilmovie that falls short of being either an exceptional roller coaster drive or unnerving thriller , but admittedly does not drag in terms of tempo - mostly because Anderson never filch his metrical foot off the gas pedal for an extended period of meter .
Anderson’sThe Final Chapterscreenplay has , for lack of a in force description , a very video game - like linear narrative design that moves fleetly from one " boss fight " or " enemy battle " to the next throughout its runtime . The Final Chapterdoes attempt to wed the largerResident Evilfranchise ’s involved mythology closer together ( set forth with its exposition - heavy prologue ) , but most of those story payoffs fall short at achieving this end due to them being underdeveloped or rushed . Many a plot of ground hole and lapse in logic arises as the film progresses from one action sequence / coiffure piece to another too , but at this stageResident Evilfans are no doubt habituate to the suspension of skepticism want by this franchise - and do it how to just " go with it , " as far as confusing game points and developments are occupy .
Milla Jovovich , for her part , has n’t fall behind a step and continues to rise her action star bonafides with her work as the zombie - kill , evil corporation - battling Alice inResident Evil : The Final Chapter . Thanks to a storyline that see Alice join effect with both her old pal Claire Redfield ( Ali Larter ) and the Red Queen ( Jovovich and Anderson ’s daughter , Ever ) in the final showdown with the Umbrella Corporation , The Final Chapterhas the same lightly - drawn , but still worthwhile female empowerment theme and horse sense of political expedience as past installment in the dealership . At the same time though , Alice , Claire and the Red Queen ’s arcs are very much a secondary business organisation here , behind all the zombie - related violence and overactive charge .
Ian Glen and Shawn Roberts reprise their several role as Dr. Alexander Isaacs and Albert Wesker from previousResident Evilmovies inThe Final Chapter- remain the same fun , if hammy and two - dimensional baddies that they were in late installments . In addition , The Final Chaptersupporting tout ensemble includes young franchise summation Eoin Macken ( The Night Shift ) , Ruby Rose ( xXx : Return of Xander Cage ) and Fraser James ( Law & Order : UK ) as the human press to survive in the wasteland of Raccoon City - all of whom are hastily - outline original ( Macken is the sexual love interest , Rose is the elusive gallon , and so forth ) that fail to leave any sort of last picture .
Resident Evil : The Final Chapterhas many of the same defect as its predecessors in the area of plot of land and workmanship - import , its problems wo n’t be anything that longtime lover of the TV game picture show franchise ca n’t handle . While it ’s dissatisfactory thatThe Final Chapteris too slapdash and not challenging enough to wrap up Jovovich and Anderson ’s time on the property with a distinguished finale , the motion picture has a strong - enough horse sense of conclusiveness to intimate that this really will suffice as the last of the road for Jovovich ’s Alice on the big screen . stiff fans should thus enjoy this final drive , even as everyone else waits to see how long it takes for serious talking of aResident Evilreboot to start making the round of golf .
