Critics Consensus

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter may prove mind-numbingly chaotic for the unconverted, but for fans of the venerable franchise, it offers a fittingly kinetic conclusion to its violent post-apocalyptic saga.

Donald Clarke Irish Times The film comprises 20 per cent boring plot talk and 80 per cent even more boring action. Rated: 1/5 Mar 3, 2017 Full Review Valerie Complex Black Girl Nerds The action scenes are choppy and move so quickly, it made me dizzy. Some scenes are so dark, you can't see what's happening, and the movie took itself too seriously - basically, sucking the life of the series. Rated: 1.5/5 Feb 13, 2017 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Perhaps you need to be a Resident Evil completist to get the finer points of the plotting. Rated: 2/5 Feb 5, 2017 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The unintelligibility of it all cannot be overstated. Rated: 0.5/4 Apr 5, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins If anything can be gleaned from a signifier like "The Final Chapter," it's that this almost certainly is not the last one; but it really should be. Rated: 2/10 Dec 5, 2020 Full Review David Hogan hoganreviews.co.uk It has some good scenes in the first half, but sadly the latter half of the plot was poor, undoing what little momentum and plot it had for a re-run of the 3rd film's climax. Rated: 2/5 Nov 1, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Matthew S Sadly as a fan of these films and the video games, this one just doesn't do it for me... the last film in this franchise was very fun in my opinion, but this one... sucked. Milla's performance is really bad in this one. The editing is choppy as hell, alot of the fight scenes are really hard to watch because there is a cut every second. It made me nauseous. Ali Larter is back in this franchise after being out of the last one, and she isn't good here. I thought she was pretty good in the fourth entry, but if you know who Claire Redfield is, you'd know Ali Larter isn't her. It's almost like director and writer Paul W.S. Anderson didn't know how to write her character. Claire has many traits but one basic trait is she loves her brother. Yet in this film she never mentions him even they were reunited in the fourth film and then captured at the end which is explained in the fifth film. That's why just bad writing. And don't even get me started with her hair. I know alot of people dislike these films, but this is the worst of all of them. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/02/21 Full Review Ralph R Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016) finally delivers a proper conclusion to the franchise, packing in all the plot threads that were scattered throughout the previous movies. The story is actually there this time, and while it feels rushed and crammed into a single film, it at least attempts to tie everything together. The pacing is relentless, barely giving time to breathe, which works in some areas but also makes it feel like Anderson had no choice but to dump all the remaining plot into this last installment. At least the climax feels satisfying, providing closure in a way that previous films never managed to do. The directing leans into chaotic action, but the editing is out of control. The number of cuts per second is absurd, making some sequences impossible to follow. While the cinematography has moments that could have been great, the rapid-fire editing ruins a lot of it, turning what should be intense action into a dizzying mess. Character changes happen, some expected, some odd, but they mostly serve the story. Ruby Rose is a fun addition, even if her role is small, and Milla, as always, keeps the momentum going with her energy and commitment. The script is functional, prioritizing action over depth, and the dialogue does just enough to move things forward. The soundtrack is fitting, blending industrial and electronic beats to match the high-speed pacing. Overall, The Final Chapter is flawed but delivers what it set out to do-end the franchise with a bang. If you can get past the chaotic editing, it is a wild ride with plenty of action and just enough closure to make it feel like a proper send-off. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review D3Z 1 The final chapter to Paul W S Anderson's Resident Evil film ended more on whimper. The finale seemingly disregards everything that the previous entries had built upon and instead created further plot holes, choppy editing and characters that remained uninteresting to a point that I was glad that this was the last of the Resident Evil live action films. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/25 Full Review yossi s Its... uhh.. a movie, i guess? I had to watch that thing in 3 parts because it was unbearable. Im so happy its done. Best part of the movie, was it ended. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é ruim, não tem nada de bom no filme, alguns personagens que estavam no outro filme nesse sumiram do nada sem ter um motivo e as cenas fracas, com isso eeu não recomendo esse filme. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Obi-wan K Never watching these movies again 🙏 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
