But (you knew there would be a 'but' right??) I will warn you there is something about this movie that will drive you nuts, it did it to me and it is why I can only go for a 6 rating. During any action sequence the camera shakes violently and the film is edited into 1/2 second long clips. I promise you that is not an exaggeration. It made my eyes hurt at times to watch it, because you try to focus on something and you can't, it is just there and gone too fast. Other films have done this in the past, and it is an attempt to make the action seem more frantic, but for me it is just tiring to watch. If you like this kind of movie it is worth seeing, if you are on the fence maybe see something else. I give it my "Barely" popcorn worthy rating.… Expand

wonderful graphics although rated sequence of events 2 out of 5 stars. Main character is too weak willed therefore movie is not able to be realistic. Movie makes no sense sometimes.

It's a joke that people defend these films right? Not in a guilty pleasure way but in a "it's meant to be this poorly shot, edited and conceived" kind of way? Because it is.

Not in a guilty pleasure way but in a "it's meant to be this poorly shot, edited and conceived" kind of way? Because it is. Quick flash cut editing isn't generally done to increase tension or exhilaration (the proof is the fact that it doesn't work) but to hide the fact that there's nothing to show - bad special effects and lazy stunt work. Not one part of this makes a lick of sense.… Expand

A pretty decent movie has been chopped up into fractions of a second. An utterly nauseating decision. Don't watch if you get motion sick.

Time to bring down the remaining of Umb Corp.

The series never meant to be story based. Well, at the first it was fine, but then it turned out be more a video game style than the normal commercial films. So if you are going to watch it, yourTime to bring down the remaining of Umb Corp.

The series never meant to be story based. Well, at the first it was fine, but then it turned out be more a video game style than the normal commercial films. So if you are going to watch it, your expectation from it should be the action-adventures. Of course, nothing happens without a reason, that's where the story was born. This is the sixth film in the series and they are saying it is the final, but have to wait and see in a couple of years, whether another film will be made or they are going for television as hinted out.

The main character is long dead, that's what they say to us every time. And then a new sequel with the same character and their explanation is, clone. That's seems okay, but that being a regular thing is what annoying. This film is enjoyable, like I say, watching a game played by someone sitting next to us. But not the best of the series or the year, nor its kind. Just to enjoy the action sequences. All the top, knowing about Olivia Jackson made me almost to cry. She's the real hero, hats off.

As I said, the film was not necessary if you go by the story. It was just another mission, a fight to bring down the last remaining Umbrella Corp and possibly to reveal more secrets about it and everything so far happened. I always wondered how this franchise survived this long. Yeah, every time a decent box office pushed the filmmakers and actors to go for another one. The film's main ingredient, graphics were acceptable, and performances too. So, it is only for the selected audience, but you can ignore it if you are not that interested in it.

4/10… Expand

It is finally over. This is the quintessence that the movies have become after the third one. Great action and horror elements with a bad story.

Great action and horror elements with a bad story. Be warned here especially some parts or reveals have angered many fans. The scheming and plots of the bad guys are also poorly thought out. I must admit that some ideas and twist are good. Also the action and fight scenes are worthwhile. The final rating depends mainly on what you have expected. I like much here but hate the way it was done. Like getting a great meal at a restaurant but notice later on that the employees get less than minimal wages would be an understandable comparison. For itself the actors and director tried their best and I think with the budget it is a relatively well done job. The acting is as always good (enough) for this kind of movie or genre. Milla Jovovich is perfect for the role. Again I like Shawn Roberts as Albert Wesker. The return of some characters is welcome but decreases the impact from the prequels. The special effects are again really good especially for the budget. But I am only wasting time. Overall this is more of the same in a positive and a negative manner. A satisfying conclusion for some but for me it is a hit and miss. I think I will give it a pass and a 5/10.… Expand

They try to create the illusion that a lot is happening by cutting and chasing way too much during hand to hand combats.

**** dialogs : Even the actors seeems disapointed and ashamed of themselves when they speak, you litterally feel them wanting to rolls their eyes as they say it, then you wish they would stop talking.

The cgi is good but does nothing to help the movie. The story always goes the easy way : Bad guy is "dead", Alice doesn't really check. "Dead" guy comes back (no explanation as of how, at all) and is stronger / faster (again, no explanation whatsoever).

Oh and of course, there's a traitor in the group. Finally, you learn that umbrella corporation wanted to "expunge" the world of the weaks and let a purged world rise with superior human being. As if any corporation would want that. It is just completely sad how the whole series massacred and destroyed the original ideas of resident evil. I wish they never had turned the video games into movies.… Expand

This one is no exception. With the premise and promise that this one would be the last chapter and resolve all the questions and plot holes and points that are pending after so many movies, the expectation is "high"; and what do we get? Mor of the same, with Alice continuing to be god and saving the sinner humans from their fate buy evil umbrella who at this point is more of a bad Final Fantasy villains than a corporation. I'm not saying that the games have a lot more sense or realism, but at least they are fun (mostly). Anyway, with a few cool stunts and CGI, and some funny and cool lines, but no kind of real conclusion or story truly planned, this feels like the rest of the franchise, a bunch of movies that had no real plan but they kind of invented and added more plot points as they went. Not truly recommeded unless you are a huge fan of this series. For anyone else, there are better action and zombie movies. This was truly the last chapter of a truly bleh series (or is it?!!!).… Expand

Bueno entremos al analisis. Resident Evil the final chapter es una pelicula q vale la pena ver si te gustan las pelis de zombies y de accion, pero la pelicula no tiene ni pis ni cabea. Tiene 80 errores de continuidad, cuando dices q va a ser la unica pelicula esperas q salgan los grandes personajes de las peliculas anteriores en especial a la q mejor lo ha hecho en toda la saga JILL VALENTINE. Ademas de todo eso, Wesker se convierte en n villano secundario y su muerte es una desonrra para los fanaticos de la saga de videojuegos. Mejor termino porq voy a esperar el anuncio de Capcom de la fecha de salida de Resident Evil Vendetta.… Expand

The Final chapter offers a slight improvement compared to the last two entries but ultimately cant keep up with the first three. At this point, I am glad the chapter is closed before they release an ultimate disaster.
