Critic Reviews

The Film Stage - Ethan Vestby

Jan 27, 2017

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

Chicago Sun-Times - Bill Zwecker

Jan 26, 2017

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

TheWrap - Michael Nordine

Jan 27, 2017

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

The A.V. Club - Ignatiy Vishnevetsky

Jan 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

Variety - 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

Austin Chronicle - Josh Kupecki

Feb 1, 2017

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!

Great! new twists, scary scenes, schoking and violent parts! It is not the usual RE film. It got very different, it is well filmed and writed. I was really surprised.

Entertaining, but the second-to-last weakest film in the series. Great action, set pieces, and villains, and Millovich is in type form as Alice. However, the iffy continuity with the previous titles is annoying, and I wish they brought in more previous characters.

The new cast isn't very memorable or are too reminiscent of previous characters. Parts of the film also feel a little too much like Ascension.… Expand

Senseless action and violence in a nutshell. The plot was OK but movie was spoiled by a lot of unnecessary scenes of gore, such as the one where the trap hatch closes and cuts the guys fingers. It was very confusing too. Not all of us like frequent jump-cuts in scenes,you know!

This was such a HORRIBLE movie, the plot is so stupid, the quick cam induced me with a terrible headache, the characters are just garbage and finally the worst thing they could do was put a bunch of jump scares!

Anderson decides to stop making bad movies out of good games.… Expand

The best thing about this film is that it ends. Undeniably the worst entry in the franchise, a messy blur that trips over itself over and over and over again. Wesker is reduced to a bit-part cameo while anything remotely resembling a meaningful narrative is quickly forgotten, much like theThe best thing about this film is that it ends.

Take care when exploring online reviews. Anything overwhelmingly positive should be taken with a large dose of sarcasm. The movie is terrible, for fans and neutrals a alike.… Expand

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
