The Film Stage Ethan Vestby

Once one is acclimated to this chaos-cinema form, even if it’s a bit more assaultive in post-converted 3D, the writer-director’s simultaneous economic storytelling and boyish imagination come into clear view. Read full review

For fans of “Resident Evil,” I believe this final film will not disappoint, but it also will likely encourage newcomers to the saga to go back and play a bit of catch-up by watching the earlier movies. Read full review

For the first time, the story supports and adds to the action rather than distract from it; it’s almost as though Anderson was holding back in the earlier films because he wanted to save the best for last. Read full review

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

Joe Leydon

Jan 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

The Telegraph Tim Robey

Feb 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 film is drab and epileptic. Read full review

This is the best movie from the franchise! Alice is an great character and Claire is so good too. The climax is amazing. The best way to finish the story!

Don't expecto too much though, as the typical action sequences are plenty and the clichés are always there... But it kind of feels better than most of the previous films. My main complaint is the lack of major characters from the games.… Expand

Too bad for a movie. If you keep everything in dark and use only sound to scare children then you do not have to spend so much after filming it. You may just create sound effect and voices and the movie will remain same. If in future you plan to create another movie then give us a chance toToo bad for a movie.

I wasn't expecting much, but I still left disappointed.

After the first minutes I simply wanted to leave the cinema. The movie starts with the jump scare. The screen start's shaking, we have cuts every 1-2 seconds, making it extremely difficult to figure out, what is actually happenning andI wasn't expecting much, but I still left disappointed.

After the first minutes I simply wanted to leave the cinema. The movie starts with the jump scare. The screen start's shaking, we have cuts every 1-2 seconds, making it extremely difficult to figure out, what is actually happenning and the sound levels are just absurd. Unfortunatelly, that turns out to be the theme of all of the jump scares (and there is plenty of them), and most action scenes.
We have some glimpses of the story here and there, but nothing significant untill the end of the movie. Characters are extremly bland, and all the new ones simply serve as cannon fodder. Gore is all over the place, to the point where it looks more silly than scary or disguisting. To make everything worse, the movie ends with a scene, that suggests that we might get another sequel.

The Final Chapter isn't satisfying as the grand finale of the series, disappoints as the action movie and is simply inferior to the previous parts. Major disappointment.… Expand

Какое же уныние. Отвратительная операторская работа и плохие эффекты, сюжет не интересен, более 20 минут не выдержал, даже когда перематывал, то делал большие промежутки, по-скольку это правда ужасно для глаз и мозга.
Удивляюсь, как резидент с каждым фильмом умудряется быть хуже.Какое же уныние. Отвратительная операторская работа и плохие эффекты, сюжет не интересен, более 20 минут не выдержал, даже когда перематывал, то делал большие промежутки, по-скольку это правда ужасно для глаз и мозга.

Il y a des hauts et des bas dans la franchise Resident Evil au cinéma et plus souvent des bas d'ailleurs, mais là c'est le pompon ! à croire qu'ils voulaient conclure la saga morte-vivante régulièrement ressuscitée à coups d'électro-chocs comme une merde et à cet égard, l'objectif a étéIl y a des hauts et des bas dans la franchise Resident Evil au cinéma et plus souvent des bas d'ailleurs, mais là c'est le pompon ! à croire qu'ils voulaient conclure la saga morte-vivante régulièrement ressuscitée à coups d'électro-chocs comme une merde et à cet égard, l'objectif a été rempli.

On passe sur les pirouettes scénaristiques et les rebondissements à l'emporte-pièce (dès le début déjà !), on passe l'éponge volontiers sur le côté nanaresque (marque de la série, il est vrai) mais ce chapitre final n'est tout simplement pas regardable : c'est en effet filmé n'importe comment et pour donner une idée, il s'agit de la méthode Jason Burne version Greengrass appliquée à Resident Evil mais sans Matt Dacon.

Ainsi est-on éclaboussé de plans épileptiques, d'un montage saucissonné pur porc, d'une caméra à l'épaule, d'autres caméras atteintes de la maladie de Parkinson et d'un abus de zooms durant ce merdier épouvantable. On secoue tout ça très fort et on le régurgite à la gueule du spectateur : c'est tout simplement insupportable. Poubelle !… Expand
