7/10
An unrelenting thrilling action ride
27 December 2016
Another Resident Evil film. After the 4-5 year delay I was expecting a lot from the last film in the franchise. Fortunately, this film was exactly what most action film goers are looking for.

The action is this film was somewhat on point. The cinematography was a bit frustrating to deal with especially with so much of the panning but overall it was decent. The CGi however had a few strong and weak points. Some parts of the film (no gonna spoil anything) were quite realistic while some were just plain fake. However, if the budget was similar to the rest of the films in the franchise I'd say it's good enough.

Mila, again has a stiff but improved performance. I guess all the stunts are hard to deal with but apart from that she is meant to have this emotionless and careless feel to her persona which is what she is actually represented as in the film. Nevertheless the stunts by all the actors were pleasing and a nice watch.

The story as usual with the other films in the franchise are very broad and basic. This means that the majority of the population should be able to understand it but it also means that the plot was not a main focus. Of course, the plot is what drives the whole film to life but it wasn't vast and unique enough. Sure it did have some twists but they were somewhat expected. I wouldn't call them twists anymore would you?

Overall, the film was an enjoyable action flick with lots and lots of violence. A recommended watch with your friends to enjoy to crazy joyride full of blood, revenge, heroin ism and zombies. x
