After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Final installment of what should have been the best video film game adaptation, but what instead became merely a blandly entertaining series. This final installment see's Alice return to Raccoon City for a final showdown with the Umbrella Corporation, which is embodied in Iain Glen, who's a quite good sneering villain. Milla Jovovich is back as Alice, as is Ali Larter as Claire Redfield, but this long-in-the-tooth franchise is so bogged down in it's underwhelming mythology that it saps any fun from what should have been a straightforward George A. Romero style zombie film (there exists a Romero script for the first film when he was originally attached to direct and it's quite a good script). Writer/Director Paul W.S. Anderson delivers pretty much non-stop action that's reasonably well directed, but nothing that really stands out. The story isn't all that interesting and the characters are non-existant. I did enjoy the opening sequences of the film, which were much more Mad Max than zombie apocalypse, but the film quickly get's bogged down under it's own weight in trying to tie up the loose ends of the prior films. On the plus side, Jovovich is still good in the lead, and she's joined by Ruby Rose in a supporting role, which is very cool, even if it's in too short of an appearance, but despite a solid cast, decent production values, and nonstop action, this film somehow manages to be really boring. Ho hum.

The film is great. In fact, the majority of the franchises' movies are spectacular. The reason most people disagree is because the storyline can be hard to follow. The writers and directors understood the direction the films were heading. I watched all six movies consecutively, so it was easy to follow the story. However, most watched as the films came out, which would make for confusing cliffhangers and forgotten backstory.Overall, this specific film is a masterpiece. Being misunderstood is not easy, especially when you are a movie.Also many people complain about the editing and effects. "Why can't they do simple action packed scenes without shaking he camera?" First off, I have never seen an action scene without quick camera direction changes or shakiness. Second, I feel this adds to the intensity of the scene. Most people writing these reviews look at one aspect of the film, and then criticize it harshly. Don't read the reviews in the first place. Watch the movie yourself, and judge it for your tastes, not someone else's.

Ok I finally watched this because I had a free premium channel preview. I know. I know. I don't do premium channels. They aren't worth the money to me. The question I have is this. Is this really the final chapter? It certainly didn't look like it. Now the critique. The script was terrible. I mean it was just a little dialogue with a long string of action sequences and special effects. That being said, said events are barely visible because of the abjectly horrible lighting design. The special effects design was lackluster as well. There was NO innovation in pretty much anything. It was the same old, same old. I think most people had figured out whom Alice is by now. I know I did. I don't do the games either. So if there was anything there, it would be unknown to a person like me. It was really no surprise in the reveal. I know I was thinking why did it take so long. I suppose after this many chapters in a franchise, there is the assumption of full character development. That being said there wasn't really anything new here. The new characters were just furniture. I mean you don't go to a film like this for a life lesson or some truth to be revealed about human nature. You go to be entertained. This was not entertaining at all. The editing was schizophrenic. The direction was what most of these ventures entail. I'm so glad I didn't pay anything for this viewing. I can only hope that this is indeed the last one.

You can understand a thing. the picture is awful. the camera angles. the music. WARNING: In the action scenes... 5 minutes and you will get an epilepsy attack.Is this a B movie ?
