This was the highest-grossing film in the series worldwide.

The editing is violent —literally. Shots rarely last longer than one second. Some fans hated the shaky-cam. Others loved the visceral chaos. Also, they kill off a major game character in the first ten minutes ( cough Wesker cough ).

Over the next 14 years and six films, we watched Milla Jovovich kick, shoot, and psychic-blast her way through hordes of the infected. Was it a faithful adaptation? No. Was it a wildly entertaining, gloriously chaotic, slow-motion gun-fest? Absolutely.

A messy, rushed, but ultimately satisfying goodbye. Final Thoughts: Do They Hold Up? If you are a purist of the Resident Evil games (the slow, survival-horror puzzle boxes of the 90s), these movies will drive you insane. Leon is a side character. Claire is a background figure. Wesker is a joke.

The plot is nonsense in the best way. Alice is captured by Umbrella and forced to run through a giant underwater test facility that replicates: a suburban neighborhood, Tokyo, Moscow, and New York. She fights "zombie clones" of her old friends.

Pure fan-fiction. If you’re not invested in Alice by now, skip it. If you are, it’s a blast. 6. Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016) – The End of the Road The Vibe: The Dark Knight Rises but with lickers.
