Review of Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016) by David S — 18 Sep 2017

"The Final Chapter" of the Resident Evil series is here and its insane collection of action sequences make for some great cinematic fun. Milla Jovovich's final portrayal as Alice is full of passion and grace, and the film ends full circle, thus wrapping up all the films together satisfyingly.

Now of course the film isn't perfect. The action cinematography is sloppy at times, and with the film being very "point A to point B" there isn't much left to take in story wise up until the very end, but with its nonstop thrills and epic performance from Milla, the film remains entertaining and nostalgic enough to keep you engaged, and with that, it was a truly enjoyable flick.

The Resident Evil film series has finally ended, and for many that's a good thing. In retrospective, it marks the end of an era. Video game movies rarely do well, but this one managed to stick around the longest, and I believe it's because it did what the games chose to do, and that's evolve, for better or for worse.
