Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016)

A German British American French Canadian Australian action film directed by Paul W. S. Anderson, starring Milla Jovovich.
Alice finds that she has a time limit to reach the origin of the zombie apocalypse and release an antivirus.
Total fucking shit. This is competing with Ben-Hur and Some Kind of Monster for worst movie ever made (self-reference cliche). It starts out alright with a recap of the story and into a fight with a giant bat or moth type monster. Then you realize that the editing is too fast for your eyes to follow. I'm talking like single frame cuts at 60fps here! Once you realize that you will never be able to process what is happening, you also realize that the plot is almost vacant. Hero woman has to get somewhere in a time limit and stuff is in her way. That's all there is. I rate this shit because I want the past 1:38:04 of my life back. I really wish that I could sue these horrible filmmakers for time. I would be immortal with all the crap I've seen.

Resident Evil series (2002 - 2010)


A horror by Paul W. S. Anderson, starring Milla Jovovich.
A virus that was created by the umbrella corporation (pun may have been intended) turns people into zombies and a small group of still-human survivors fights their way through swarms of the undead.
The titles of the films (besides the original) are: Apocalypse, Extinction and Afterlife. I'm not including the 2008 Degeneration film in this review because it was so different (CG and terrible) from the others. The camera-work in the live action films seemed to be sponsored by Adderall XR, as a single minute of fight scene ended up in 10+ separate shots. The characters were extremely static and the plots very predictable. There were some cool monsters though. The regular zombies must not have been enough, because in each film there was a "super zombie" or a zombie-monster of some type. I'm rating these films o.k. because there was some superficial entertainment value, but that was all.
