At least, it finally wraps up the original story and the franchise can have an ending if it wants it.Resident Evil is an action-horror film series based on the Japanese video game franchise of the same name by Capcom. I would rather have something unabashed new. It still has its fun but some of it is too reminiscent of the previous movies. There are the big overblown action scenes. This pull between movie logic and real world reasoning causes friction in the story telling. It may work for a video game but when presented in the real world, it fails the smell test.
I also can't totally buy these characters reuniting for a final battle. It all makes movie logic but I can't accept its reasonableness. It also puts into question the purpose of Alice in the first place. Essentially, everything is refocused in a different direction. I remember the original T-virus release in the first movie was an accident. The recounting of the origins is helpful with movie logic although it doesn't strike me as reasonable. It's not always the best but there are often fun elements. This franchise is marked by its embrace of high grade B-movie tropes, slow motion monster action, and an effective Jovovich heroine. She finds other survivors Doc (Eoin Macken), Abigail (Ruby Rose), Christian, Cobalt, Razor, and Claire Redfield (Ali Larter). Alice returns to Raccoon City where she's confronted by Isaacs.
It's been 10 years since Isaacs deliberately released the virus setting off the original apocalypse in the first movie. It tells her that the last 4472 humans on earth are set to be wiped out in 48 hours. She is surprised when the evil computer program offers her a way to destroy the T-virus. Alice (Milla Jovovich) arrives in Washington, D.C. Alexander Isaacs (Iain Glen) killed him to take over the Umbrella Corporation. James Marcus invented it to save his daughter Alicia. This starts by recounting the origins of the T-virus. Reviewed by SnoopyStyle 4 / 10 logic and reason
