The last time we saw Milla Jovovich gunning her way through the undead was 2012's underwhelming Retribution, which despite not beating its predecessor at the box office - the even worse Afterlife - has been given one more chance out on screen.

The story picks up where we left off with Jovovich's Alice getting stitched up royally by Wesker, putting in motion one last battle against Umbrella's boo hiss baddies.

Wheres Retribution was given moderate praise for its popping 3D visuals, director Paul W. S. Anderson is clearly looking to recapture this success in The Final Chapter, but, with a plot that is barely connected to the video game series and a cardboard cutout apocalyptic setting, this movie will feel more like a run of the mill sci-fi romp than an interesting interpretation of, say, one of the more recent Resident Evil games in the series. Unless they reboot it, this is officially the franchise's last, thudding stand on screens.
