Resident Evil: The Final Chapter

Plot synopsis:
The film opens with Alice (Milla Jovovich) explaining the origin of the T-virus. Dr. James Marcus (Mark Simpson) wanted to create a cure for his daughter Alicia (Ever Anderson), who was suffering from progeria. Marcus created a cure within the Umbrella Corporation, but soon, he would be betrayed by his colleague Dr. Alexander Isaacs (Iain Glen) after Marcus wanted to shut down the program after seeing the devastating effects of the virus. Isaacs has Albert Wesker (Shawn Roberts), the CEO of Umbrella, suffocate Marcus to death, and Isaacs would later become Alicia's guardian and hold her share of the company. Isaacs created the Red Queen in Alicia's likeness and let the T-virus break out in Raccoon City, and within months, the entire planet would be infected over the next 10 years.Alice is wandering around a rundown city by herself. She finds a pond of water and begins drinking before she is attacked by an infected mutant. Alice kills it and then finds a car. A flying monster swoops down and tries to kill Alice but she gets the car started and drives away. The monster chases after Alice. She gets ahead of it and rides off a ramp to slam into it against a wall. It's still alive, but Alice finds a bomb in the back of the car. She detonates it and blows the monster up.Alice enters a building and is met by the Red Queen. She knows that Wesker betrayed Alice and the other survivors in Washington. The Red Queen tells Alice that there is an airborne antivirus located within The Hive of the Umbrella Corporation, and she has 48 hours to get there and unleash it, or else Umbrella will launch one last strike against the survivors. When Alice questions why the Red Queen would help her, she points out a mutant behind Alice. Alice kills it.Alice makes her way toward the ruins of Raccoon City but is ensnared in a trap laid out by Umbrella mercenaries. They start to attack Alice, but she gets the upper hand and starts kicking their asses and shooting them dead. She tries to take one of their motorcycles, but it only works for Umbrella operatives, so it electrocutes her and knocks her out.Alice wakes up inside a convoy with with other survivors who have been captured. She is greeted by Isaacs. Alice at first questions how he's still alive after she killed him (in "Extinction") but she realizes she killed one of his clones. Isaacs has Alice's hands tied to the back of the convoy, so she has to run as thousands of the undead are chasing her. She hops back onto the convoy and starts fighting Isaacs' henchmen. Isaacs steps out to take on Alice himself. She chops off his hand so she can take control of the motorcycle and escape.Alice arrives in the ruins of Raccoon City and sees that The Hive is on the other side of a massive crater in the ground. She heads on over and is hit by a trap set up by some survivors. She is taken in by Doc (Eoin Macken), Razor (Fraser James), Christian (William Levy), and Cobalt (Rola). They try to hold Alice captive until Claire Redfield (Ali Larter) steps out and sees Alice.Doc treats Alice, and she learns that he and Claire have formed a relationship. Alice explains her intentions and plan to storm The Hive in order to get the cure.Meanwhile, Isaacs leads the Umbrella military convoy toward Raccoon City with the undead following closely. The survivors gear up for the impending attack. Alice meets Abigail (Ruby Rose), a mechanic that built most of the machinery in the hideout. With her help, the survivors construct traps as the undead start closing in. The survivors launch flaming barrels into the undead crowd, along with sending huge chunks of debris down on them. A female survivor starts running toward the hideout. The group tries to protect her, but Isaacs has her shot dead before she can reach the gate.The survivors start making their way toward The Hive. Cobalt gets killed and eaten by the undead. Alice fights one of Isaacs' henchman, Chu (Joon-Gi Lee). He nearly overpowers her until Alice shoots him. They tie Chu to the back of the convoy, but he's not as fast as Alice and he becomes zombie food.Isaacs orders Wesker (who's operating from Umbrella's main building alongside the Red Queen) to send out the Cerberus dogs to attack the survivors. Christian is mauled by one of the dogs, and the rest of the group escapes by jumping into the river.The team heads inside The Hive and are confronted by a now undead Christian. He chases the team into the building as the walls start closing in. Alice fights Christian and gets out before the walls close on him. As they advance further, they encounter a computer with the Red Queen speaking to them. When asked why she is helping them, the Red Queen shows the group a video file of a board meeting in Umbrella with Isaacs deciding that they must go ahead and willingly kickstart the apocalypse and weed out the strongest survivors among them. The Red Queen considers it as going against what she was programmed to do. She tells Alice to take an earpiece so that she may inform her that there is an Umbrella informant among them.The team must go through a rotating fan. Wesker has it go in reverse, causing the fan to suck the air in the opposite direction and pull the team toward it. Alice grabs Abigail before she gets pulled in, but Abigail loses her grip on the bag she's holding onto, and she gets shredded by the fan.The team gets closer to their destination. They crawl through some vents which lead to some members falling through trap doors. Alice and Razor fall into a room where Razor gets killed by a mutant beast. Alice shoots it multiple times, but it doesn't die. Alice battles the beast and eventually kills it.Alice, Claire, and Doc make it to the top floor of the facility to encounter the original Isaacs (the one from before was another clone). Alice considers her options in killing him with an ice pick, decanter, and glass at her disposal, but Isaacs has a protective software in his lens that allows him to anticipate a possible attack. He holds the antivirus and threatens to drop it unless Alice drops her gun. Doc doesn't drop his, and Alice figures he was the informant. Isaacs then reveals to Alice that she was always a clone of Alicia Marcus. With this revelation, the antivirus would kill her since it would destroy anything infected by the T-virus. The original Alicia (also Milla Jovovich) is an old woman in a wheelchair who missed out on life due to her illness. She blames herself for the outbreak because she felt she was too weak. Wesker appears and holds Claire at gunpoint. Since the Red Queen cannot harm an Umbrella employee, Alicia fires Wesker, allowing the system to slam a door down and sever Wesker's foot. Isaacs gets away and Alice leaves Doc to Claire. She shoots him in the head for his deception. Alice leaves Wesker with a detonator in his hand for when he is ready to die.Alice and Claire go after Isaacs. They fight him as he ascends on a platform. Alice follows him into the laser grid. Isaacs holds her hand and has her fingers severed, but Alice took the opportunity to pull a pin from a grenade in Isaacs' pocket. It blows up on his side. Alice takes the antivirus from his pocket and kicks him down.Alice goes outside to drop the antivirus as time is about to run out. She drops it but Isaacs catches it. Just then, the Isaacs clone arrives with the undead army. He sees the original Isaacs and is in disbelief that he is not the original himself. Clone Isaacs stabs Original Isaacs to death before the undead tear into the clone. Alice drops the antivirus before the undead catch up to her. Within seconds, every single one of them drops dead for good. Wesker takes his thumb off the detonator, causing the facility to blow up and kill him and Alicia. Alice then collapses.Alice wakes up to Claire telling her she succeeded. Alice wonders how she is still alive. A projection of the Red Queen tells Alice that the antivirus destroyed the T-virus cells in her body, but her healthy cells kept her alive. Alice asks why the Red Queen didn't tell her this before, and she states that she needed to know that Alice would be willing to sacrifice herself for the rest of humanity. She shows Alice that before Alicia died, she uploaded her memories to give to Alice so that Alice may remember the life Alicia used to have now that she is the woman Alicia could never be.In the final scene, Alice rides away on her motorcycle alone. Her voice-over states that it could take years for the antivirus to completely spread across the globe, and that her work is not done. She is pursued by three winged monsters flying overhead. Alice simply grins and keeps on riding.

Review:
Leaving aside all the ridiculous plot points and lazy screen writing, the editing of this movie is going to become legendary for it's awfulness.I've never seen a full budgeted movie get hacked up so poorly that the expensive action scenes are pretty much butchered to the max.
Aside the nonsense plot, the total lack of logic and the poor script that I could expect from a full action-based movie, there is this filming style where the camera flies, rebound, shakes, zoom in and out (so close that I can see the skin cells of alice and suddenly from 50 feets in the air) that makes the action scenes impossible to follow, and the actions scenes are like the 99% of the movie so the movie is unwatchable.
The acting is not bad.If a movie director is reading this please consider stop making that thing with the cameras, the action can be exciting even with a fixed plane, if you don't believe me play the first 3 resident evil games ;).
Every scene in this movie, right from the start, is shot with shaky camera and fast cuts.I don't know who thought that this approach would make The Final chapter a better movie, because it made it the worst, and hopefully the last under the supervision of Paul Anderson.
Alice has only 48 hours to find and release the antidote before the rest of humanity is wiped out by the Umbrella Corporation, whose plan is to repopulate the earth with the rich and the powerful, who are stored in cryogenic suspension in The Hive.I've always been a staunch supporter of the Resident Evil films, finding them to be fun slices of slick action-packed horror, but that support ends with The Final Chapter.
Once again directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, this supposed last instalment is an absolute mess, any potential for enjoyment hindered by an extremely slight plot, even by RE standards, and some of the worst direction and editing I have ever experienced.As far as content goes, the film is business as usual, with big monsters, hordes of zombies, evil corporate types running the show, and Milla being bad-ass, but with the camera shaking all over the place and the majority of shots lasting for a fraction of a second, the action is virtually impossible to follow, making the film more likely to result in a headache than a thrill rush.
And as if the wobbly cam/ADHD approach wasn't bad enough, much of film takes place in poorly lit locations, making it even harder to keep track of what is happening.Despite being called The Final Chapter, the end of the film inevitably leaves things open for further adventures for Alice.
it is terrible no logic,story makes no f*****g sense and the best of all the flippin epilepsy attack in every action scene i almost got a heart attack for god's sake you can't see s**t because it goes by so fast that i had to put it to slow motion sometimes to actually find out what the hell is going on.
As a big fan of the Resident Evil films, I was looking forward to seeing this even though the series has slowly been going down hill for the last few movies.Some good action here and there but I felt like the film never really gets going.
I haven't seen the rest of the installments in this series, and I likely never will, but the ending of this latest entry frustrates, leaving the door wide open for a continuation despite the affirmation of the film's subtitle that this is indeed, the final chapter.
Anderson finds himself unable to provide an ending with something substantial and weighty, choosing instead to succumb to triviality.Perhaps my experience of watching Resident Evil: The Final Chapter can best be described as nauseating.
And while some might point that the portrayal of the Umbrella Corporation can be seen as Anderson exhibiting an anti- capitalist stance, he adds nothing to the argument, seemingly content to regurgitate an idea that has grown stale over the course of six films.Now, I'm not saying that action films such as Resident Evil: The Final Chapter cannot and should not be enjoyed.
Pretty relentless from start to finish, The Final Chapter is such an entertaining watch, hopping from action scene to action scene at a rapid pace, and very rarely letting up with too much planning, dialogue and character development that the series' weakest entries tried to pull off.Of course, the heavy emphasis on mad, and at times utterly preposterous action (Alice's ability to survive everything is way beyond Die Hard levels), means that it's not a particularly intriguing or memorable watch, and director Paul W.S. Anderson's insistence on dizzying quick cuts and shaky cam is frustrating to see.
However, this movie knows you want Milla Jovovich doing backflips and killing zombies, and it thankfully provides that in bucketloads, making for a properly entertaining and fast-paced action movie.One of the more surprising elements of The Final Chapter, however, is the last-ditch twists within the series' overall story arc.
Still, as the film goes on, we begin to learn more and more about the true reason that the world was plunged into chaos, as well as a whole host of other hugely entertaining, albeit ridiculous, twists that actually give this film some genuine stakes.I'm not going to say I was engrossed by the story, because it's incredibly thin, and wouldn't stand up at all if it weren't for all the action going on around it, but I will say that this does have some of the best ideas and plot twists since the first two movies, yet another reason why this might just be my favourite of the whole franchise.And at the end of a six movie streak, you'd expect lead actress Milla Jovovich to be phoning it in with a bored and generic performance, but that's not the case.
Her character has never been the most fascinating, but you can't deny that Jovovich really goes for it in this final outing, reaffirming how good an action hero she can be.Whilst the same isn't necessarily true of many of her co-stars, most of whom are just another set of expendable extras, the rivalry that we see reignite between Jovovich's Alice and Iain Glen's Dr. Isaacs for one last time is pretty entertaining, all building towards a hugely fun finale that marks itself as some of the best action of the series.Overall, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter is all you want from this series.
they aren't dead but they weren't part of this final chapter as always with action and Milla Jovovich is Always part of it kicking ass, and always surviving Impossible in every situation but everyone really expects to have a final showdown in white house from Resident Evil Retribution ending i wanted that to happen but showdown and final thing is in same place, where it takes to end showdown from First (2002) Resident evil laser defense system room where another Umbrella Corporation has been killed form first film, that's where it takes place and going back to Raccoon City where it got destroyed and Nuked from Resident Evil: Apocalypse.Plot Dr. James Marcus, the original founder of the Umbrella Corporation, had a daughter the Red Queen (Ever Gabo Anderson) who was dying of premature aging.
I Never Wanted to Spoil the movieI liked the movie there is some plot holes aside, it was a thrilling and intense wrap up great worth seeing movie in a final chapter the game haters must be happy but for another people is different their never played games before, another people that includes me can't compare with all another games of Resident evil game franchise.
Its sad that it was the final chapter but it was worth every penny of what i spent to see it at the IMAX ($40) highly recommend this movie to any true fan of resident evil.
It went into further detail and back-story than previous movies, and overall did a good job at ending the series (on a good note).I can sit here and praise this movie all day, but several things would result: i'd bore you, i'd probably end up spoiling it, and then you probably wouldn't want to see it after all; so i'll leave you with this...FINAL VERDICT: This is hands-down the BEST Resident Evil movie (and I thought nothing would top RE: Extinction)!
The intro is solid and explains what is happening (even if you didn't see the previous films) and makes a good set-up, but once the real movie starts a lot of things go wrong.
There is not a scene that last for more than 3 seconds and doesn't change angles at lest 2 times and for me it was just too much and i don't know how a movie with such bad editing can come out like this....
Combine all these elements together I had to wait till the next scene when a character died to find out who it was and didn't even care in the end which is a massive failure on the films part.An awful movie and worst in the series.
If you want a film with action and gore and not much of a story then go ahead I've seen all the resident evil movies and tbh they're all pretty much the same but I must admit I did enjoy it.
I'm a big fan of the Resident Evil's films, so I decided to see this movie but I was with low expectations because I didn't like the trailers and the idea of kill almost all the characters of the previous installments.Resident Evil: The Final Chapter opens with Alice telling what happened in the last films and then we see a good action scene between the main character and a monster, in the ending of that scene, the red queen shows how to save the world.Finally, we can see a perfect mix between action and horror, there are a LOT of good and thrilling action scenes, a lot of jump scares and some violence.
There are some plot holes; The editing could be better; The lack of some characters;Final opinion: This new Resident Evil film is one of the best movies based in video games, but has some defects as the editing, some plot holes and the lack of characters such as Chris Redfield, Leon S.
It's strange, both franchises were not the best cinema had to offer, but I'm going to miss the mindless action sci-fi horror adventure with a kick ass female lead that is both film series.But I'm going to miss Resident Evil more.
Resident Evil was clearly the more action packed film out of the both of them and Milla Jovovich was so much more intoxicating as butt whipping Alice (Sorry Kate Benkensale).The final chapter starts out with a montage that clears up a few things you may not have realized about the series with the full origin of the T-virus and the Red Queen.Then, like in the first film (Which this film references a lot along with bits and pieces from the other films), Alice wakes up alone in a deserted place, but it only takes a minute for the action to start this time around.
"The Final Chapter" of the Resident Evil series is here and its insane collection of action sequences make for some great cinematic fun.
The Resident Evil film series has finally ended, and for many that's a good thing.
Back in 2002 when the first resident evil came out I was amazed on how much action and zombies and death was in it since it was the first zombie i had ever seen it was my ultimate fave,but then the second one came out resident evil Apocalypse I had a chance to see this movie in theaters and to my amazement it was 100% better then the first knocked it right out of the park more action way more killing zombies explosions and Alis was was much more of a bad assbut then as the next few years went by and the last movies came out i thought the series had just given up the third movie was dull nothing really happened and all the great cast of the second movie just vanished leaving us in a desert and for some reason gave Alis super powers In the 4th movie it felt as if i was watching terminator 3 they brought back some characters that were from the first film but they really didn't do much except for Michelle Rodriguez story was OK not great acting was meh and it had no surprisebut then a few months back i saw a trailer for the fifth and final movie not sure what to think or if i should even give it a try, so I waited a few weeks,and now that I had a chance to see it I have to say it is the best one of them all, it tells more of a story has so much action great affects and ends it the series on a great high note also it shows you things that the first 4 movies didn't explain oh and it did not have the video game feeling in it which i loved so much about itif you like crazy action a great twist and story i recommend this to you.
for me i wanted to be more sequels, but anyway this ended pretty good i never played the games, i have but not as many of them first time i heard of Resident evil (2002)i have watched movie i never knew about games after i played games so i became fan of movie franchise it's still great, fun worth watching franchise to watch still i am only saying for my own opinion but i like franchise now in this final chapter it's fun as always story still continues brings back everything from previous films of Resident evil but you can't prove that Jill, Leon Wong, Bucky died because they weren't part of this movie, but they say they died but how ??

While the action scene editing was a pain to watch I still found the story surprisingly good and perhaps the most meaningful out of the films in the series..
