Resident Evil: The Final Chapter

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016), directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, is the sixth and concluding entry in the long-running Resident Evil film series, loosely based on the Capcom video game franchise. The film follows Alice, played by Milla Jovovich, as she returns to the ruins of Raccoon City to make a final stand against the Umbrella Corporation. With the fate of humanity hanging in the balance, Alice and a group of allies must fight their way into the Hive—Umbrella's original underground facility—to release an airborne antivirus capable of wiping out the T-virus and the infected along with it. The plot dives into Alice’s origins and brings the series’ central mystery full circle, while delivering the relentless action and post-apocalyptic visuals the franchise is known for. Shot primarily in South Africa, the film was produced on a budget of approximately $40 million and grossed over $312 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing entry in the series. Despite its commercial success, critical reception was mixed. While some viewers praised its fast-paced action and consistent tone, others criticized its chaotic editing, thin plot, and lack of closure for secondary characters. Nonetheless, the film remained true to its style—intense, visually driven, and packed with fan-favorite creatures and lore. As a franchise finale, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter offers an adrenaline-filled conclusion to Alice’s journey, tying up the loose threads of a series built on mayhem, mutation, and survival.
