I love these movies in all their amazingly stupid glory, like they're an absolute blast, but I'm struggling to remember what the fuck happened in the last movie aside from the ending.
Like, I know I saw it, but I think even as I watched it I wasn't sure what the hell was going on. Was it the one where it was like a computer simulation of the previous movies for some reason? And then they got out and the world had ended? Help?
Alice got captured after Umbrella attacked the boat and they locked her in a testing facility made out of various setpieces of populated areas to test a zombie apocalypse in each scenario. Wesker formed a task force and sent them and Ada to retrieve her and flood the facility. Michelle Rodriguez upped her death count in the series to 4.
The one you're thinking of might be 3, where they were sending Alice clones through a gauntlet made out of scenes from the first movie (some of which not even the real Alice went through) because...science?
Yes.......
Grounded.
What with the guy who can morph into a mutated dinosaur or evil plant woman.
Or all the dumb shit from 4
Hey, at least the planet didn't turn into a desert and then turn back. That'd be like if the next Mad Max movie took place in a forest.
I don't think "grounded" is the right word. the games' plots are a bit more logical when when it comes to their plot. The movies have little to no consistency and like to throw scenes from the games in to hopefully satisfy the fanbase.
The 2nd movie lifted scenes from Resident Evil 3 and Code Veronica, and the 4th lifted the Wesker vs Chris and Sheva fight scene from RE 5 along with a few monster designs. Then Resident Evil 4 stole the laser hallway from the first movie and Darkside Chronicles stole both the laser hallway and the Red Queen.
