The T-virus unleashed by the evil Umbrella Corp. has spread to every corner of the globe, infesting the planet with zombies, demons and monsters. Alice (Milla Jovovich), a former Umbrella employee turned rogue warrior, joins her friends on a last-chance mission to storm the company's headquarters located deep underneath what used to be Raccoon City. But the Red Queen (Ever Anderson) knows that Alice is coming, and the final battle will determine if the rest of mankind lives or dies.
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.

The rest of the cast might as well be computer generated, because they are practically non-existent. |
| 245844 | Molly Henery | The Blogging Banshee | Fresh | 5.5/10 | 2018-11-02T02:49:04.000Z | 2018-11-02 02:49:04 | Resident Evil: The Final Chapter was a fitting end to the franchise filled with action, intrigue, and of course zombies. Sadly it is a flawed film, primarily due to the sudden change in origin stories and the lack of character development. |

| 245852 | Matthew Bond | The Mail on Sunday (UK) | Fresh | 3/5 | 2017-10-17T01:08:35.000Z | 2017-10-17 01:08:35 | It's competent, undemanding and extraordinarily violent stuff as Alice once again locks horns, hunting knives and serious armoury with that nasty Dr Isaacs and his army of undead and finally learns the secret of The Hive. |

Anderson, who is also Mr. Jovovich) is as violently incomprehensible as the others, anyway. |

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. |

The action, the fights, the jump scares...they're all entertaining, and there's a long-serving genre heroine who's finally allowed some evolution and a bit of closure. |
| 245863 | Jeffrey M. Anderson | Common Sense Media | Rotten | 1/5 | 2017-02-10T14:47:42.000Z | 2017-02-10 14:47:42 | The sixth movie in this violent sci-fi/horror series feels cursory and carelessly made. The cluttered, clunky footage is nearly unwatchable, and it's difficult to care about the flat, lifeless characters. |

| 245904 | Katherine McLaughlin | The List | Fresh | 3/5 | 2017-02-01T08:54:56.000Z | 2017-02-01 08:54:56 | It never succeeds in reaching the lofty heights of those it emulates but remains brutally executed, throwaway fun. |
| 245905 | Matthew Goudreau | The Young Folks | Rotten | 2/10 | 2017-01-31T09:44:01.000Z | 2017-01-31 09:44:01 | Hopefully, this is the last film in the series because sitting through this made the whole affair feel like a mercy killing. |
| 245906 | Ignatiy Vishnevetsky | AV Club | Rotten | C+ | 2017-01-31T03:25:29.000Z | 2017-01-31 03:25:29 | Anderson is an artist of zombiod head-shots and secret testing facilities, and Jovovich is his muse. But they can't all be masterpieces, can they? |
| 245907 | Joshua Rothkopf | Time Out | Fresh | 3/5 | 2017-01-28T14:17:19.000Z | 2017-01-28 14:17:19 | While the franchise has slackened into dependably dumb post-apocalyptic thrills, star Milla Jovovich has only gotten better, seasoning her long-legged athleticism with a commanding stare. |
| 245908 | Frank Scheck | The Hollywood Reporter | Rotten | — | 2017-01-27T17:35:00.000Z | 2017-01-27 17:35:00 | Promises, promises. |

| 245910 | Matt Donato | We Got This Covered | Rotten | 3/10 | 2017-01-27T15:13:04.000Z | 2017-01-27 15:13:04 | Resident Evil: The Final Chapter proves that there's nothing left in the tank of this grossly nondescript zombie-shootin' franchise. |
| 245911 | Annlee Ellingson | L.A. Biz | Rotten | — | 2017-01-27T15:10:20.000Z | 2017-01-27 15:10:20 | Less thrilling than confusing, with action set pieces cut so aggressively that one can't really even tell what's going on, let alone appreciate Jovovich's martial-arts moves. |
| 245912 | Clark Collis | Entertainment Weekly | Fresh | B- | 2017-01-27T13:28:31.000Z | 2017-01-27 13:28:31 | The climax makes for a satisfying conclusion to the franchise-an ending which this writer expects, and even hopes, all concerned will studiously ignore when they get around to making the next one. |
| 245913 | Mike McGranaghan | Aisle Seat | Rotten | 1.5/4 | 2017-01-27T13:18:05.000Z | 2017-01-27 13:18:05 | At my screening, two guys sitting a few rows down from me smoked what appeared to be marijuana throughout the movie. I'm not condoning drug use, but they probably had the right idea. |
| 245914 | Teddy Durgin | Screen It! | Rotten | — | 2017-01-27T13:16:08.000Z | 2017-01-27 13:16:08 | This has to be the "Final Chapter," right? Right?! Don't let it mutate. Don't let it spread. Don't let it fester, re-animate, and come back to life, Hollywood! (Full Content Review for Parents - Violence, Profanity, etc. - also Available) |
| 245915 | Kimber Myers | Los Angeles Times | Fresh | — | 2017-01-27T12:52:38.000Z | 2017-01-27 12:52:38 | Boasting a higher body count than its IQ, "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" is violent, idiotic fun. |
| 245916 | Sara Michelle Fetters | MovieFreak.com | Fresh | 2.5/4 | 2017-01-27T11:18:34.000Z | 2017-01-27 11:18:34 | There's life in the supposed last act, and for those who have stuck with the series since the beginning watching it go out on a relative high is probably enough to warrant the price of a matinee ticket. |
| 245917 | Chuck Bowen | Slant Magazine | Fresh | 2.5/4 | 2017-01-27T10:54:00.000Z | 2017-01-27 10:54:00 | The film celebrates the unbridled force of energy for its own sake. |
| 245918 | Ethan Vestby | The Film Stage | Fresh | B+ | 2017-01-27T08:44:21.000Z | 2017-01-27 08:44:21 | Maybe you're a much better person than this writer if you don't find this rousing as hell. |
| 245919 | Peter Sobczynski | RogerEbert.com | Fresh | 3/4 | 2017-01-27T07:30:37.000Z | 2017-01-27 07:30:37 | Resident Evil: The Final Chapter may not be the ideal final note for the series but as long as Jovovich is up there doing her thing, most people will be too enthralled to notice. |
| 245920 | Brian Orndorf | Blu-ray.com | Rotten | D | 2017-01-27T07:21:10.000Z | 2017-01-27 07:21:10 | With all the monsters, snarling undead, betrayals, malicious artificial intelligence, armored vehicles, clones, and bombs, it's amazing that editing would be the deadliest weapon of the effort. Prepare for a headache. |
| 245921 | Scott Mendelson | Forbes | Rotten | 4.0/10 | 2017-01-27T07:04:54.000Z | 2017-01-27 07:04:54 | The action is chaotically edited and the supporting characters are dull, but it provides just enough finality to justify itself. |
| 245922 | Jesse Hassenger | Brooklyn Magazine | Fresh | — | 2017-01-27T06:44:24.000Z | 2017-01-27 06:44:24 | Anderson doesn't have the patience or the imagination of a great action director, but he throws a lot out there. |
| 245923 | Phil Villarreal | ABC Tucson | Rotten | 1/4 | 2017-01-27T06:10:18.000Z | 2017-01-27 06:10:18 | The most frightening thing for me was the realization that I have seen every one of these movies, and that I will no doubt see the next one, too. |
| 245924 | Michael Nordine | TheWrap | Fresh | — | 2017-01-27T01:12:59.000Z | 2017-01-27 01:12:59 | To the extent that knowing exactly what a movie holds in store for you in advance is a virtue, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter is almost saintlike. Still, there are some pleasant enough surprises. |
| 245925 | Joe Leydon | Variety | Rotten | — | 2017-01-27T00:04:32.000Z | 2017-01-27 00:04:32 | Yes, the movie is called "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter," but don't let that get your hopes up. |
| 245926 | Heather Wixson | Daily Dead | Fresh | 4/5 | 2017-01-26T22:50:44.000Z | 2017-01-26 22:50:44 | As far as franchise finales go, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter is an ambitious, action-packed, and wholly satisfying conclusion for fans of the series |
| 245927 | David Crow | Den of Geek | Rotten | 1/5 | 2017-01-26T21:19:02.000Z | 2017-01-26 21:19:02 | If taken in the right humor, there is almost something charming about its utter refusal to offer anything fresh or even incidentally clever. However, it's hard to see because the film is also relentlessly boring. |
| 245928 | Sarah Ward | ArtsHub | Rotten | 1.5/5 | 2017-01-26T16:39:34.000Z | 2017-01-26 16:39:34 | A feature that dare not take a moment's pause, nor allow viewers to step back from the close-framed action, nor ponder anything it presents for even a second. |
| 245929 | Jake Wilson | The Age (Australia) | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2017-01-26T15:55:55.000Z | 2017-01-26 15:55:55 | Part of the charm of these pulpy films lies in their lack of pretension, the way they rarely pause for breath. |
| 245930 | Liam Maguren | Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) | Rotten | 2/5 | 2017-01-26T15:09:53.000Z | 2017-01-26 15:09:53 | It's like the cameraperson shot all [the action] scenes one-handed while balancing on a unicycle during an earthquake, then edited it with a NutriBullet. |
| 245931 | Brad Gullickson | Film School Rejects | Fresh | — | 2017-01-26T14:56:43.000Z | 2017-01-26 14:56:43 | The Final Chapter has to be the most satisfying film of the bunch. Anderson has tackled the character of Alice with a chain of switchbacking plot points and still manages to fulfill on our ludicrous desires for apocalyptic mayhem. |
| 245932 | Glenn Kenny | New York Times | Rotten | — | 2017-01-26T13:51:10.000Z | 2017-01-26 13:51:10 | This is, I think, the weakest picture in the franchise. |
| 245933 | Bill Zwecker | Chicago Sun-Times | Fresh | 3/4 | 2017-01-26T11:10:23.000Z | 2017-01-26 11:10:23 | 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. |
| 245934 | Dustin Putman | TheFrightFile.com | Rotten | 1/4 | 2017-01-26T07:16:54.000Z | 2017-01-26 07:16:54 | More of the same to a numbing degree, a ceaselessly dreary, virtually interchangeable installment that doesn't even respect its tireless heroine enough to give her the cathartic send-off she deserves. |
| 245935 | James Marsh | South China Morning Post | Rotten | 2.5/5 | 2017-01-25T23:28:42.000Z | 2017-01-25 23:28:42 | Loyal fans should find the conclusion of the Resident Evil series satisfactory, but audiences yet to be won over won't find anything new to sway them now. |
