Very few film adaptations of video games have turned out to be money spinners and despite mixed reviews for the previous installments, the sixth and final installment in the Resident Evil film series, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter is here in a grander than ever fashion.
A flashback reveals how Dr. James Marcus (Iain Glen), the founder of the Umbrella Corporation, discovered the T-virus in a bid to save his dying daughter. But as expected, the miraculous medicine gets to the wrong hands.
Alice (Milla Jovovich) stumbles upon the Red Queen (Ever Gabo Anderson, Milla's real life daughter) and the Red Queen tells her that she must return to the Hive in Raccoon City within 48 hours, where the Umbrella Corporation has developed an airborne antivirus, which will kill every organism infected by the T-virus, before the remainder of humankind is wiped out. On her way to Raccoon city, she meets her usual horde of zombies which she gets rid off. She also meets a couple of survivors who join her in the quest to save humanity. How will they succeed? What will happen to the T-virus inside Alice's body? Resident Evil: The Final Chapter answers the question.
Cited as the first horror franchise to cross the 1 billion dollars mark, Resident Evil franchise is known for its films being loved by a certain section of the audience alone and this installment too caters to this crowd. The film too follows the same plot - kill the zombies, survive the apocalypse, defeat the boss and escape with enough story to make a sequel.
Despite a wafer-thin plot, just like all its predecessors, the film relies on its jaw-dropping action sequences, zombies of different shapes and sizes, super-fast shots and razor sharp editing. This time however, there aren't much side stories and the film sticks to the main plot and that's definitely a plus point. Writer-director Paul WS Anderson has figured out the pulse of those who are fans of this franchise and has catered to them specifically.
But the plot which happens in a matter of 2 days the audience miss out on a lot of scenarios and the movie feels confined to just a few intense sequences. Despite that, the action scenes which sees Alice saving herself from the clutches of death are a treat to watch. Watching it in 3D only magnifies this effect. With uber-cool weapons and new zombies to kill, the film as a whole gets to a new level of style and grace.
The climax is too simple with a been-there-seen-that ending but on the brighter side, there are chances for a reboot or a sequel.
Overall, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter is yet another zombie slashing flick that would only entertain those who love the franchise for what it is.
