Resident Evil: The Last Chapter is the name of the dystopian society that is reeling in the aftermath of this pandemic. This film is the fifth installment in the entire video game adaptation of the six film series that dates as far back as 2002 (Resident Evil). It was followed by Resident Evil Apocalypse, Resident Evil Extinction, Resident Evil Afterlife, Resident Evil Retribution and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016). This franchise launched around the same time as two other blockbusters namely Fast & Furious as well as xXx and they all seem to be growing by leaps and bounds. It has inspired other video game franchises like Assassin’s Creed, Rachet and Clank just to name a few to venture into movie production. After watching this startling thriller depicting an imaginary undesirable community, which is being annihilated by an incurable disease I almost felt like the UN should perhaps intervene. The gruesome events of this film begin to unfold when “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”. Jovovich reprises her trademark role as the brave protagonist that’s immune to fear unlike some of others including antagonist personality Dr. Alexander Isaacs. If you happen to pay good attention to detail you should have felt that the movie’s theme is the same dystopian theme as those from other dystopia blockbusters such as Death Race, World War Z, Elysium and so forth. It comes as no surprise as this film was directed by the very same movie writer who wrote huge films like Death Race and all other previous Resident Evil instalments.
