15. Resident Evil: The Final Chapter

RottenTomatoes Score: 33% (4.4/10)

Box Office: The $40 million video game movie sequel may have delivered the lowest opening weekend of the franchise, but it's still cooked up $140 million worldwide so far, in large part thanks to a terrific opening in China, where it opened stronger than even Star Wars: Rogue One.

Verdict: Surprise, surprise, the "final" Resident Evil movie leaves itself open for a fleet of more sequels, while paradoxically serving up a set of franchise-derailing plot twists that have Paul W.S. Anderson and company saying, "F*** it, why not?"

Milla Jovovich is game as usual, but the action sequences are edited into choppy oblivion, making even the film's most basic pleasures difficult to just sit back and enjoy.
