Picking up after Resident Evil: Retribution, Alice (Milla Jovovich) is the only survivor of what was meant to be humanity’s final stand against the undead. Now, she must return to where the nightmare began – The Hive in Raccoon City, where the Umbrella Corporation is gathering its forces for a final strike against the only remaining survivors of the apocalypse.

It's not a direct sequel to the previous film. You have to imagine a whole film inbetween them, where the Washington dead are destroyed, Wesker loses his powers, most of Alice's friends are killed, Alice loses her powers, and the events of the second film happen in an alternate reality. There is such a gulf between the two films that you have to surmise the missing segment was abandoned for reasons of cost, or a falling out between the producers and the director. And whilst i found it enjoyable, it makes no sense whatsoever.

Has all the feel of a sequel too far and one that was made on an even tighter budget. There's a massive jump in continuity from the previous movie in the series, and, while this is kinda typical for RE movies, what's missing is the massive battle for Washington DC we were looking forward to. And all the characters we were invested in. Instead we get an extended series of things happening, some of which are very loud and pyrotechnically impressive but none of which really matter, until we get to the final showdown between Alice and the movie's big bad. Even this denouement is a disappointment, a damp squib of a capstone on Alice's epic. It sort of wraps things up, I guess. But while I've watched each of the other movies numerous times, I doubt I'll be spending any more cash to revisit this last instalment. It's the Star Wars prequels of RE - I accept it exists, but I'm not going to put myself through watching it again.

I hardly ever write reviews but I had to do so on this one... As much as I love Resident Evil this one was the worst one so far! Boring, Just feels like you're running in circles, no surprises very predictable, clearly there will be more . Massive disappointment . £14 not very well spent...
