Time OutJoshua RothkopfJan 28, 2017
There’s no denying the movie’s climactic gathering of females bent on saving the species. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersJan 27, 2017
Boasting a higher body count than its IQ, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter is violent, idiotic fun. Read full review

The New York TimesGlenn KennyJan 26, 2017
The movie percolates enough that even when, at its climax, it shamelessly recycles a grisly punch line from 1987’s “RoboCop,” it’s kind of endearing, not least because Mr. Anderson and company make it work. Read full review

The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyJan 28, 2017
Combining Anderson’s symmetrical camera style with frenetic editing ends up imploding the sense of depth and space that has long made the director’s movies must-sees in 3-D. Read full review

ObserverThelma AdamsJan 28, 2017
Jovovich binds the episodic action sequences, her face a mask of noble pain and isolation. She outruns zombies, orchestrates catapults of flaming gasoline, literally slays a dragon with a Hummer – and all without a single unnecessary quip or wasted kiss. Read full review

VarietyJoe LeydonJan 27, 2017
A few individual scenes of hand-to-hand and foot-to-face combat are undeniably exciting, and Jovovich once again impresses with her kinetic athleticism. Overall, however, the repetitiveness and occasional incoherence of the nonstop action leave the audience exhausted for all the wrong reasons. Read full review

Reasonably entertaining but hectic (supposed) finale for the up-and-down series. Read full review

The TelegraphTim RobeyFeb 2, 2017
Hush and patience are simply not in Anderson’s vocabulary. He bombards you as if terrified of encroaching tedium, and the set pieces trip each other up in their sheer haste. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckJan 27, 2017
The action is practically non-stop from beginning to end, but is never remotely exciting due to the Cuisinart-style editing that reduces it all to an incomprehensible, messy blur. Read full review

New York Daily NewsStephen Whitty Jan 27, 2017
True, the movie's intense, and Jovovich is certainly in fighting shape. But after 15 years of this franchise, it's getting hard to tell Alice from the things she's fighting. It's all squint and grunt, slash and groan. Read full review
