Director/Screenplay: Paul W.S. Anderson

Runtime: 107min

Strength: Action packed, Horror, CGI

Weakness: Weak plot, Inconsistency

Rating: 6/10

Plot: "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" is the last sequel of the long-running video-game inspired movie, Resident Evi. The movie begins with a scene of Alice (Milla Jovovich) waking up in a desolated and the decayed Whitehouse. The Red Queen (Ever Anderson) offers her a chance to save the remaining people of the Earth from breaking into Umbrella Corp. She is joined by a group of survivors, including Claire Redfield (Ali Larter) and Abigail (Ruby Rose). They embark on a journey of zombie-infested action-packed carnage to save the world.

Review: "The Final Chapter" falls back in cinematography. There was no beguiling scene that can keep an audience hooked into it. The movie was rushed in a series of inconsistent scenes, scuttling to finish off the last sequel. Even though the special effects and CGI were pretty robust, the poorly written script weighed it down. The acting was well done. However, for someone who has been following this franchise for almost 15 years, this movie will appeal to the inner 14-year old self. Also, the character played by Milla Jovovich is bad-to-the-bone and very appealing. Milla has been the undisputed epicentre of an everlasting genre movie franchise and has been acting in every instalment of the "Resident Evil" movies since 2002.
