Resident Evil: The Final Chapter's reviews
Media reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
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.
Entertainment Weekly
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.
The Wrap
For the first time, the story supports and adds to the action rather than distract from it; it?s almost as though Anderson was holding back in the earlier films because he wanted to save the best for last.
Los Angeles Times
Boasting a higher body count than its IQ, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter is violent, idiotic fun.
New York Times
The movie percolates enough that even when, at its climax, it shamelessly recycles a grisly punch line from 1987?s ?RoboCop,? it?s kind of endearing, not least because Mr. Anderson and company make it work.
Time Out
There?s no denying the movie?s climactic gathering of females bent on saving the species.
The A.V. Club
Combining Anderson?s symmetrical camera style with frenetic editing ends up imploding the sense of depth and space that has long made the director?s movies must-sees in 3-D.
The Hollywood Reporter
The action is practically non-stop from beginning to end, but is never remotely exciting due to the Cuisinart-style editing that reduces it all to an incomprehensible, messy blur.
