It's been fifteen years, and it shouldn't be over

Supplementary note, on February 24, 2017, from 9:25 to early morning, I watched the final chapter of the Resident Evil series. Because I'm not very demanding of this kind of movie - enough to make me nervous - plus the shadows of my childhood left by the first Resident Evil, I'm still relatively satisfied with this movie overall.

As a game adaptation movie, the story line is simple and clear, and the plot is interspersed between heavy levels. Of course, the logic of the plot and the motives of the characters' actions must not be speculated with logic. You can see what she does.

The pace and style of the movie is a bit like Mad Max, especially when Alice is speeding down the desolate highway. It's hard to see the warm side in the iron-blooded female man Alice. Her fighting ability and tenacious ability of life are definitely abnormal in artificial intelligence.

Although it is called the final chapter, the movie finally gave a happy ending, although I think it is more perfect and more tragic to stay at the moment when Alice the clone sacrificed for all mankind. But, how to continue shooting then? After all, in front of money, ending anything is bullshit.

Speaking of warmth, although Alice couldn't help shedding tears when she faced the Red Queen handing over the memory of her body to herself - Dad, I finally have childhood memories - but I am more than Lupiros being made into minced meat by a fan machine More heartache! The ending of Lee Joon Ki's character is a bit funny. The speed is fast enough but the brainless words are enough to ruin the image. The appearance of being tied behind a tank and being chased by the living dead is simply ridiculous. The passage where the professor was finally stabbed to death by his clone was also a big slot, and it almost became the biggest laughing point in the audience.

By the way, the first laugh point appeared in about 10 minutes - the moment when Alice was drinking water by the water and was suddenly attacked by a big fish - everyone exclaimed and started to start hahaha, maybe this can relieve their tension Be in the mood.

In addition to this, what worries me the most is the final confrontation between Alice and the professor. The classic rectangular glass space in the first movie is still those terrible laser rays. It's a pity that the grid rays didn't appear, although I understand that this might be because the director didn't know how to fix it.

In addition, there are many places where the fight details are blurred out by the camera so quickly that I think Alice just passed the level in a daze. The fact that the living dead run wild has actually appeared in many movies, such as the very popular trip to Busan last year. It doesn't mean that the living dead can't run fast. After all, after so many years of evolution and upgrading of the living dead, it is reasonable, but the accelerated army of the living dead does not play much role other than running.

Overall, the visual effects scenes are okay, and the soundtrack is also well integrated with the story. Although there is no endless aftertaste, the urge to review the first five books is indeed there.

    I heard that the domestic imported version has been deleted by 8 minutes. After reading it, I hope to delete 80 minutes. By the way, everyone on stage and behind the scenes was sent to a mental hospital (to surprise you so much). The final chapter? joke! Just to make money in mainland China, I have to make at least three more movies.

    Paul Anderson has been professionally unfinished for 30 years, Aunt Mila has been professionally fighting zombies for 30 years, and Wesker has been professionally releasing dogs for 30 years! But "Resident Evil" is the kind of thing that knows it will be rotten and still has to chase it!

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter quotes

  • Dr. Isaacs' Clone: What the hell are you?

    Dr. Isaacs: I'm you, you idiot.

    Dr. Isaacs' Clone: No. No. No, that's not possible.

    Dr. Isaacs: The real you.

    Dr. Isaacs' Clone: [stabbing the clone] Liar! Abomination! You dirty, filthy clone! I'm me. He's not me.

  • Alice: What happened?

    Red Queen: When Isaacs died, I could bring myself back online and stop attacks on the remaining human settlements. You saved them.

    Alice: Why am I still alive?

    Red Queen: The antivirus only destroyed the T-virus within your body. It didn't harm the healthy cells. You are now free of infection.

    Alice: I thought I would die. You and Alicia, you lied to me.

    Red Queen: We had to know if you were willing to make the sacrifice, to give up your life for others. This was something no one at Umbrella would have done. Alicia Marcus was right about you.

    Alice: I *was* one of them. I was created by Umbrella, just an instrument for them.

    Red Queen: No. You became something more than they ever have anticipated. The clone became more human than they ever could be. And you have one more step to make.

    Alice: What do you mean?

    Red Queen: [opens the file, uploading it into Alice] Before she died, Alicia downloaded her memories for you. The childhood you never had combined with the woman she could never become.
