Review of Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016) by Matt A — 25 Mar 2017

So this isn't as bad as what the critics are saying it is. The main issue this film has is its frenetic and jarring editing in the action scenes, the cuts are far too quick and results in being headache inducing, speaking of which, it feels like its been padded out with far too many action scenes that go nowhere.

Its hard to care about the new characters when none of them have any back story and aren't really fleshed out, but then the RE franchise doesn't excel in that regard. Its all about the action, which is a shame because they could've made better for it if you cared about the people involved.

Luckily there haven't been any inclusions of the game characters just for the sake of it. But again this franchise has suffered because they didn't include people like Leon, Chris, Ada, Barry, Jill or even Sheva for a decent reason.

I have to give some props to Paul Anderson, he does know how to create some decent special effects but its all for nothing as he doesn't make decent films with heart, which is strange seeing how much he loves the games.

It doesn't really end the series with any finality but it does end well. Lets hope they don't make another one though. It needs a reboot and needs to stay faithful to the source material. Good end to a lacklustre film series.
