Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.

Sex & Nudity: None

Violence & Gore: The portrayal of infliction of pain and injuries is depicted with some detail of blood and gore, but it is never prolonged or frequent.

The film contains several scenes of violence that are scattered throughout as the female protagonist and her companions fend off attacks from the zombies and a paramilitary group.

The stronger scenes of violence depict details of bloodletting and gore, including scenes of the aftermath where decapitated heads as well as severed hands and fingers are visible.

For example, some zombies are killed by the protagonist where she slashes their throats, followed by decapitating their heads.

In another example, a character slices off the top-half of a zombie's skull before firing gunshots into its body and stabbing a machete through its chin.

There are also instances where human characters are fatally shot, usually in the head, which result in bloodshed.

The overall impact of violence is mitigated by the lack of strong details, as the scenes occur during nighttime, and in poorly-lit environments.

The film also does not dwell on the infliction of pain and injuries as it adopts quick camera movements that inter cuts between the point of impact and the aftermath.

As such, the film can be suited for an older teen audience

Profanity: strong language   

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: None

Frightening/Intense Scenes: 'Resident Evil: The Final Chapter' is the sixth installment in the 'Resident Evil' film franchise. The story picks up from the events in Washington, where Alice is left to fend for herself against the remaining hordes of zombies.

Story: Picking up immediately after the events in 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

Likes I'am aware that most people hate this franchise as from the start it didn't really follow the game's story line which annoyed a few people , it just mixed certain stories into one film which was ok. I'll be honest this film franchise has been a guilty pleasure film for me that is actually pretty good , although resident evil 3 slack a bit but pick up after 3 got better through the franchise.


I was so hoping if this was the last film it would actually give this franchise a good send off before being rebooted in 2 years time , but after viewing this film sadly there is nothing i can say that is actually good about this film. It seriously deserve to flop after what I've watched which is why i can not get behind this one and say it was good in any way Sorry !!!!.



Dislikes : Throughout the whole franchise this film has actually been pretty good with the camera work and stories which was good but that was right up to this point in the franchise , that director Paul W.S. Anderson (WTF) was he thinking when he made this film.

The whole film is so bad on cinematography and the camera is just beyond piss poor to the point this film is just not watchable , throughout the whole film i swear the cameraman couldn't keep the camera still as with the non action scene the camera is shaking.
Don't get me started on the action scene as well , what the hell we're you thinking Anderson? , The audience wants to to see the action clearly so they can see what is going on & see the fights scene.

Instead we are subject to 1h 46min of shaky action scene you can't watch because the screen is shaky so fast , not to mention the editing switch from the creature to person shot 6 time at a fast pace you can barely see what the hell is going on. This is every  action scene which was ruined complete and unwatchable totally destroy this film concept and acting.

Oh this isn't just the whole problem with the film , Did Paul W.S. Anderson forget what he wrote for Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) with the characters Dr. Ashford & his daughter Angie Ashford , because if i remember it was said in this film that Dr Ashford created the T-virus and the red queen was model off his daughter right.

So why the hell (Spoiler Alert) was it that Dr James Marcus that created the T-virus for his daughter Young Alicia who the red queen was model off , did i miss something here way to go at destroying your own franchise continuity.

Oh it doesn't just stop there with the bad mistakes in this film , there is a diology from Claire redfield that she said in the film i quote " we got captured on the Acadia , one of the guys killed the plot they crash in raccoon city" She never got captured at the end of resident evil 5 because her a Chris redfield escape together with Alice. So again failure in knowing your own story to continue it.

Even the ending contradicts itself with its own diology and plot ,  i mean come on i know it's the last film but did you seriously have to make it so under bearable watchable? The whole film is just utterly riddled with mistake, bad camera work, poor understand of events before it's unreal.

Seriously avoid this film it really bad.      



Overall
: Poor understand of event before, poor camera work , really unwatchable film with shaky camera work for 1hr 43mins


Rating: 2 out of 5 for entertainment / 2 out of 10 for concept
