It’s happening again! Yes, after 25 years, Twin Peaks is finally returning to the
screen and I couldn’t be more excited. David Lynch and the Twin Peaks series
are two of the main reasons that I
wanted to become a writer. While I knew this was on the horizon, I decided to
clear my mind in preparation. That is when I decided to pick up a film from one
of my favorite franchises with 2016s Resident
Evil: The Final Chapter.
Plot/ Alice returns to where the nightmare began: The Hive
in Raccoon City, where the Umbrella Corporation is gathering its forces for a
final strike against the only remaining survivors of the apocalypse.
Let me start off by saying that this has been one of my
favorite zombie themed series and I was sad to hear that this was gong to be the
final chapter. Fortunately, they decided to go out with a bang. While many
people will not enjoy this mindless trip into Raccoon City for a final time
(and understandably so), the non0stop action and gore is enough to keep you at
least entertained if you can suspend belief for the duration. Yes, there are
some strange decisions that lead to holes in the continuity between films and
there are definitely some head scratching moments that actually make the movie
overly predictable, but those are easily overlooked in the grand scheme. As a
film, the action is well paced, the performances were solid, the gore worked,
and some of the storyline did add some interesting twists to the franchise as a
whole. In the end, this may not be the best movie in the series, but it was
entertaining and perfect for some late night zombie fun. Not for everyone, but
if you can suspend belief for a couple hours, it can be a great mindless entry.
