The other current Resident Evil release (well, something with the title "Resident Evil" anyway) and I went to see that too because... frankly it looked hilariously bad and since it's the last one, I kind of wanted to see it for myself for once instead of just waiting for reviews to tear it apart and it did not disappoint.
It is amazing just how incompetent it is but most importantly, how it disregard continuity completely and retcons almost everything, thereby beating the purpose of making it a "final chapter", while also constantly referencing the first movie, making it impossible for anyone familiar with them to miss the blatant continuity errors (but is it really an error if you intentionally f'ed it up? Those are the philosophical questions Resident Evil: Final Chapter asks).
And it's no hyperbole when I say it retcons almost everything, it's to the point it's almost its own independent canon, starting with the recap at the beginning of the film. You know, that one that's been shown in three of the previous five movies and almost hasn't been changed so it's burned into the memory of anyone who's watched them? The one reminding us that the T-Virus was developed as a biological weapon and was intentionally released into the Hive in an attempt to destroy Umbrella, starting the outbreak?
Well, they decided to try to pull the ol' Stalin on us and tell us that our memories were wrong because now, the recap claims that the T-Virus was developed as a magic cure for a bunch of diseases and it turning people into zombies was an accident. Also, the T-Virus was now created by one Dr. Marcus, the founder of Umbrella to cure his daughter Alicia, who the Red Queen is now modelled after, who has that disease that makes people age extremely fast.
Good thing there wasn't a major plot point in Apocalypse about Dr. Ashford being the one who created the T-Virus to cure his daughter's paralysis (or whatever it was that prevented her from walking), said daughter being the one the Red Queen was supposedly modelled after or that would be a massive contradiction.
They also reveal that apparently, because rather than a secret bioweapon, the T-Virus' new backstory is that it was a commercially available and wildly distributed cure, there was a previous outbreak before the Hive one, which I guess was contained somehow despite the flashback ending with the infected seemingly spreading the disease.
And I guess it was somehow covered up considering no-one was aware of the zombie epidemic before the events of these movies. It sure is lucky that this mutation or whatever occurred in only one small part of the globe. And it's doubly lucky that the (now second) outbreak only affected Raccoon City at first and THEN spread to the rest of the world (something that they even confirm in this film so that's still canon).
Anyway, on to the movie's plot proper. So you remember how the previous movie set this one up by ending with Alice, Wesker, Jill, Ada and Leon teaming up to fight the Red Queen and hopefully end the apocalypse? Well, now Alice and Wesker are enemies again and who even cares about Jill, Ada and Leon? They're characters from the games and therefore not even worth mentioning.
But hey, at least Claire is back for no real reason other than I guess they did want to have someone on the Good Guys team return for the -maybe- finale. Oh yeah and turns out Wesker lied about giving Alice her powers back, which is good because it makes her superhuman feats look even more ridiculous.
Dr. Isaacs also returns because Iain Glen gained a lot of fame thanks to Game of Thro- I mean because that was totally the plan from the beginning and they really care about this well crafted, intriguing character. Can't really complain about that one though because Glen IS awesome and we get a double-dose of him as there's a clone of him who, for some reason, has become a hilariously hammy crazed cultist while still working for Umbrella. Speaking of clones, turns out the Isaacs we saw in Extinction was a clone as well and the real one is still alive, so add that to the list of retcons.
Oh, by the way, Dr. Isaacs was the co-owner of Umbrella Corporation the whole time. What? You thought that just because he was taking orders from Wesker the last time we saw him, it means he was a relatively low-ranking and disposable henchman? No, silly! Obviously he was one of the two most important members of Umbrella and Wesker was the one taking orders from him!
And yes, that does mean that Isaacs is the main villain now and despite being the most enjoyable thing about this franchise, Wesker does almost nothing. Because what better way to conclude your franchise in its final chapter than by having the main villain of the franchise be barely a secondary character, have almost no interaction with the heroine (he doesn't even get killed by Alice. The Red Queen does it) and instead have the big finale be with a guy who was just a lackey before and hasn't even been mentioned in the previous two movies?!
The other co-owner is Alicia Marcus herself and she doesn't actually approve of Isaacs' plan. So why did she wait until now to do something about it? Well, because she's obviously been created for this movie and was never a part of this film series' universe until now. Oh, you wanted an actual in-universe explanation? F*** you.
I'm sure you also remember how the Red Queen's perfectly thought-out endgame went from trying to stop the outbreak by killing all infected people to intentionally spreading the infection to destroy all life on Earth, which is precisely why the Alice-Wesker Alliance became a thing? Well, now she's back to wanting to save humanity, warning Alice that Humanity only has 48 hours left to live before the few settlement where the 4000 or so people still alive live fall to the zombies.
Now, you may wonder why the Red Queen suddenly wants to save Humanity again. Well, she explains that it's because her programming makes her value life. Now, you may wonder why she tried to destroy all life, then. Well, that's because her programming also prevents her from harming Umbrella employees (except the ones in the Hive, I guess. Those can f*** off). Why yes, that IS an idea ripped right off RoboCop. And yes, it does have the exact same payoff. Now, you may wonder why her not being allowed to harm Umbrella employees means she has to destroy the world, especially since that sure as f*** is going to harm Umbrella employees (and in fact already has on multiple occasions by the point). Well that's because she can't go against Umbrella's orders.
Now you may wonder if that's the case, how come she went again Umbrella's orders, took over the company and THEN started destroying the Earth in Retribution, how Umbrella regained control of the Red Queen and how come destroying the world was apparently Umbrella's order despite the fact that Umbrella was fighting to stop her from doing that. Well, that's because the British Bulldog is bizarre.
She also puts a timer on Alice's smart watch because when she said 48 hours, she wasn't giving an estimate, she calculated it down to the second. You know, just to be extra silly. And no, it's not something where bombs are supposed to explode or planes are supposed to wipe out the settlements, it is apparently supposed to be just from zombie activity.
And what is Umbrella's reason for wanting to exterminate Humanity now? Well, obviously this whole time their goal was to put an end to overpopulation by slightly overreacting and destroying all of Humanity. Okay, I'm exaggerating slightly, they did put their own higher ranking employees in a stasis so they could begin a new Human civilization once the previous one has been destroyed.
So yeah, that's why Dr. Isaacs, who totally wasn't just an underling and was always super important, you guys, suggested using the T-Virus as a way to kill Humanity while leaving the Earth's infrastructures and resources intact. And we see what good a job it did of leaving infrastructures and resources intact with every city being destroyed and all life, including plants, being killed. Hell, they even said and showed in the previous movies that the T-Virus was even drying up lakes somehow.
By the way, not only was Wesker working with Isaacs the entire time, he's totally on board with the "reboot Humanity" plan. So if because you lost a bet you rewatch Retribution, when you see Wesker try to stop the Red Queen from wiping out humanity and ally himself with his former enemies for that very purpose, remember that his goal was supposedly to kill everyone but Umbrella people so they could start Humanity over (note: the poor sap who was punished with writing the novelization for this tried to have it make a little bit of sense, claiming that Wesker was actually tricking them to have them all in one place to wipe them out in one fell swoop. Still doesn't explain why he was actively fighting the Red Queen, though).
So what is the Red Queen's plan to save Humanity? Well, she wants Alice to go back into the remains of the Hive in Raccoon City because it turns out there was an anti-virus that can destroy all T-Virus infected creatures on Earth hidden in there the whole time. And of course, it is still intact as well as most of the Hive despite Raccoon City having been nuked by the end of the second movie. Then again, Raccoon City looks like it's doing awfully well aside from having a moderately large crater in the middle of it. It sure has more buildings still standing than any other city.
So why didn't the Red Queen have this anti-virus released the instant people in the Hive started getting infected? Why wasn't there someone whose job was to release it in case of infection? Why didn't Umbrella go for it back when their goal was to stop the infection? Well, maybe it needs very specific conditions to properly activa- nope, you just have to open the container into the air and it will magically spread to the entire world and destroy all traces of the T-Virus, including the creatures that are inside buildings or underground, I'm sure!
And then it's pretty much just a series of random action scenes where Alice gets to showcase how she doesn't have superpowers and is merely so absurdly talented it looks like she has superpowers. The thing is, these actions scenes are almost completely disconnected from what little plot this film has and are just things happening so there is very little at stake, not that there ever was much to begin with considering Alice has never looked like she ever was in danger at any point in this franchise.
And if you were hoping you could at least enjoy some good over-the-top action scenes, think again because they look like ass. Up to that point, the one saving grace these movies had was that they at least looked stylish with good visuals and some scenes genuinely being badass, at least when they didn't become absurd but here, it's shaky-cam and quick-cutting all the way. I swear there are times where you get like five cuts in two seconds. And they do that over nothing like someone loading a gun or something.
When there isn't a mindless action scene, there usually is something very stupid and/or that contradicts everything we've seen in the previous films going on (not that the action scenes aren't stupid as well). For example, Cultist Isaacs shoots one of his men for disobeying his orders. Okay, that's pretty stupid but standard dumb villain stupidity so far. But then, we cut away and when we come back to him, he's also killed the rest of his team. Don't worry, there's a very good reason why he'd do that, you just can't see it because it lives in Canada.
There's also a scene where Alice and her team of nobodies who are only here to swell the body count enter the Hive through a giant fan which I guess is there for aeration? Either way, Wesker has the Red Queen activate the fan (which she does because remember, as of this movie, she can't go against Umbrella's orders) to suck them up into it. One of them does get caught... and Wesker immediately has the Red Queen turn the fan off. Why would he do that instead of taking the opportunity to kill them all right there? Because the Kool-Aid Man is red.
It does turn out that he has a mole in Alice's group but considering Wesker is the sort of guy who shoots his henchmen to teach the rest of them a lesson and again, as of this movie his goal is to destroy Humanity, I don't think he loses any sleep over sacrificing some random hired goon who he probably intends to kill anyway and if for whatever reason he did want to keep him alive, I don't know why he risked the guy's life with that in the first place and that only became a concern after someone else got killed.
And yeah, remember how I said the Hive was mostly intact? I really mean that because even though it's all dusty and everything is knocked over, that's really all the damage it took because in spite of being abandoned for years without maintenance during an apocalypse and after a nuclear strike, everything works perfectly fine, including a security system that's inexplicably in the air vents (or at least something that looks like it) with a trap door opening to drop a guy to his death. Also, for some reason, before the fatal drop, there is a smaller one first that takes the victim to another trap door that opens and closes on a timer. I assume you all see the point of that instead of just making it a direct drop to the bottom.
But don't worry because if you don't get caught by that trap (which, again, only works for one guy for some reason), then the other people are thrown through different trap doors which, instead of killing you, take you to some sort of testing area. Again, I don't think I need to explain why that makes perfect sense.
Also making perfect sense is that despite being dropped at the same time and taken to the same area, Alice reaches the end about two minutes before the next person. Further making sense, neither of them is injured in any way by the drop despite falling for what seems like hundreds of feet. Admittedly it's on a slope by they were still going at a fatal-looking speed.
And needless to say, since we're back in the Hive, guess what also still works despite no maintenance? The goddamn lasers! Of course those are back! And of course, they forgot the payoff of it as it doesn't do the grid pattern any more because if it did, then Alice would die. Oh and they are activated by Dr. Isaacs, who naturally then goes inside the corridor to fight Alice.
He incredibly manages to injure her (don't worry, it's revealed afterwards that Alice let it happen so she could place a grenade in his pocket so there still isn't anyone who is better than Alice at anything) by holding her hand into the laser, slicing her fingers off. Of course, he doesn't do that with her head or her midsection for the same reason why the laser doesn't have a grid pattern any more.
Finally, I must mention Wesker's death. Alicia Marcus appears and reveals that Alice was a clone of her the whole time! She also reveals that she is the co-owner of Umbrella and fires Wesker so the Red Queen can kill him by dropping a bulkhead on him, which of course he cannot avoid because he had super-speed and strength as well as a healing factor before so of course that's not true any more.
And then the movie sequel baits.
And those are just the moments I could remember off the top of my head, I'm sure there are some I forgot especially since I did leave to take a piss at some point so I missed part of it. I am just amazed that a film that's supposed to be the finale to a series of six films would completely disregard everything that's happened before and retcon almost all of it at the end. I mean, these films have always been terrible with continuity but they at least pretended there was a continuous story before. It's almost admirable in how brazen it is and how few f***s are given.
And even without that, the film still has a lot of dumb moments that ensure it doesn't work on its own either, especially the awful, awful editing that make the action scenes painful to watch (quite possibly literally if you have motion sickness or epilepsy problems).
So I guess what I'm trying to say is that, as big of a shock as I'm sure it'll be to you, RE 7 is the better Resident Evil sequel released this January.
