At its best, “Resident Evil” is a franchise that embraces its inherent goofiness and just goes for all-out action / horror extravaganza. At its worst, it falls into low-budget lameness mixed with grating self-seriousness. “Resident Evil: The Final Chapter” is the sixth and supposedly final movie, tying up “loose ends” and bringing the story started in 2002's "Resident Evil" to a somewhat coherent conclusion. Ranked, it falls squarely in the bottom half of the series for me — not enough excitement and far too much proselytizing about a journey that, to begin with, never had any emotional weight.
