stevendedalis The film is great. In fact, the majority of the franchises' movies are spectacular. The reason most people disagree is because the storyline can be hard to follow. The writers and directors understood the direction the films were heading. I watched all six movies consecutively, so it was easy to follow the story. However, most watched as the films came out, which would make for confusing cliffhangers and forgotten backstory.Overall, this specific film is a masterpiece. Being misunderstood is not easy, especially when you are a movie.Also many people complain about the editing and effects. "Why can't they do simple action packed scenes without shaking he camera?" First off, I have never seen an action scene without quick camera direction changes or shakiness. Second, I feel this adds to the intensity of the scene. Most people writing these reviews look at one aspect of the film, and then criticize it harshly. Don't read the reviews in the first place. Watch the movie yourself, and judge it for your tastes, not someone else's.

Neil Welch 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.

ovione-91013 It's hard to believe that there are people who actually liked this movie.The editing was done by a chipmunk on speed or something. And it's not only the speed of the editing, some shots are totally random, they make no sense. It's just impossible to watch a movie like that.

rb_rhyno 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..
