Final installment of what should have been the best video film game adaptation, but what instead became merely a blandly entertaining series. This final installment see's Alice return to Raccoon City for a final showdown with the Umbrella Corporation, which is embodied in Iain Glen, who's a quite good sneering villain. Milla Jovovich is back as Alice, as is Ali Larter as Claire Redfield, but this long-in-the-tooth franchise is so bogged down in it's underwhelming mythology that it saps any fun from what should have been a straightforward George A. Romero style zombie film (there exists a Romero script for the first film when he was originally attached to direct and it's quite a good script). Writer/Director Paul W.S. Anderson delivers pretty much non-stop action that's reasonably well directed, but nothing that really stands out. The story isn't all that interesting and the characters are non-existant. I did enjoy the opening sequences of the film, which were much more Mad Max than zombie apocalypse, but the film quickly get's bogged down under it's own weight in trying to tie up the loose ends of the prior films. On the plus side, Jovovich is still good in the lead, and she's joined by Ruby Rose in a supporting role, which is very cool, even if it's in too short of an appearance, but despite a solid cast, decent production values, and nonstop action, this film somehow manages to be really boring. Ho hum.

Though the movies has all the great special effects and everything but it fails at the storyline being mundane. The original game has a lot more to enjoy than what is shown in the movie.

Alice has been led a merry dance by the Umbrella Corporation ever since their zombie virus got loose, a dance which finally leads her back to Raccoon City and a chance to bring this whole sorry mess to a halt.This is the 6th - and, it would appear from the title, final - movie in the Resident Evil franchise. This started life as a decent enough movie adaptation of a zombie shoot-'em-up videogame. Films 2 to 5 featured, guess what, running around shooting zombies while assorted cast members survived (or didn't) in locations which gradually strayed further and further from Raccoon City while more details of the Umbrella Corporation's nefarious plans were revealed in dribs and drabs.Film 6 contains further revelations, none of which come as vast surprises. It also contains much running around, being pursued by zombies (and also a zombie/vampire/dragon/pterodactyl thingie, I'm not sure how that fits with zombified humans), shooting, cutting, slicing, squashing, and Blowing Sh!t Up. There is a ticking clock in the script which seems to have no purpose other than to build up suspense in a completely half-*ssed way: its rationale makes no sense at all.What the film doesn't have is any plot worthy of the name. And what little it does have is incoherent nonsense - I am unsure what the Umbrella Corporation expects to gain from destroying the entire population of the world and replacing it with hordes of mindless ravening cannibals, for instance. These films were never about the story. They were about replicating on screen the adrenaline-laced videogame experience of being pursued by zombies, and blowing them away before they were able to snack on you. And, to that extent, I guess this film is successful even though it is incredibly dark - the underground base at Raccoon City forgot to pay its electricity bill - and most of the action camerawork is so jittery that it is often difficult to follow the geography of what is happening.If you liked the others, then see this one so that you'll know how the saga ends - oh, please let it end! Milla Jovovich deserves to have a lie down. But I can't think of another reason to see it.

Just when i think Paul W.S Anderson has hit rock bottom, he breaks out a laser drill and takes us down even further! this should have gone DIRECTLY to DVD..
