Movie Review: Resident Evil The Final Chapter (2017)

Hello All,

    Hey we’re in the last weekend of January, which means it’s our last chance before the month is up to see how bad we can end things. What better way to do that then to have not only one, but ii films come out that have issues surrounding them (Spoiler Alert: I’m going to review both of them, because fight me.) Sure we all know about the footage from a dog's purpose, but did you know that during the filming of Resident Evil 6 that one stuntman died and another one was seriously injured? Oh, and the one who died died around Christmas as well? Sure stuntman risk their lives all the time, it still sucks when people die and I honestly feel bad for the victims and their families. That being said, was their sacrifice worth it? Let’s find out together shall we?

Before we begin, I’m going to preface this by saying something. If you’re a genuine fan of this series, and don’t want me to spoil anything about this film for you, stop reading this now, see the film, and come back later. I am going to go into a seriously lengthy thing detailing a lot of spoilers so believe me when I say I’m doing you a favour. Everyone else, let’s begin……

Plot Summary - After being betrayed in Washington, Alice (Milla Jovovich) now finds herself in an unusual alliance with the Red Queen. Her goal, to retrieve an T-Virus antivirus, and save the world, before the umbrella corporation wipes out what’s left of humanity.

Pros - Milla Jovovich does her usual Alice thing pretty well. That’s about it.

Cons - Okay so, you know why I said the thing about the spoilers, because now I’m just going to say it. This film takes the entire franchise, and kicks it right in the dick. I’m not even joking. You want to know the big secret behind the whole franchise?

The T-Virus Apocalypse was Umbrella’s intentional plan the whole time.

So you know in the first film how the virus was actually stolen as part of a scheme to sell it on the black market by Alice’s fake husband? Yeah, that apparently was planned.

Take this moment to scream bullshit.

Now granted they don’t straight up say this, but they actually don’t say at all how the plan was put into motion, so this is the best answer I can give even though THIS LITERALLY MAKES NO SENSE.

There’s so many moments like this throughout the whole film that basically contradict the whole series. Truthfully, I really don’t want to write them all right now, because I want to go to bed at some point tonight. However, I have an idea.

I want you, yes you, to vote on whether or not I should make a post in the future doing so. I’m dead serious. In fact, if you follow this link by clicking here you can voice your opinion on whether or not I should.

In the meantime, you all probably saw this coming…….

Final Score - 1/10

Yeah fuck this movie. Go vote in the poll.

Next: A Dog’s Purpose - Because let’s go two for two on the controversial movies.
