Having only seen the first installment of the “Resident Evil” franchise, I have no idea where the story has gone and what really is kicking off the events in the sixth and supposedly last entry (franchises never die), “Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.” But it seems everything is coming full circle as Alice will need to go back to Raccoon City.

Ali Larter, Iain Glen, Shawn Roberts, Ruby Rose, Eoin Macken, William Levy, Fraser James, and Rola are joining Jovovich, with Paul “W.S., But Not Thomas” Anderson directing the post-apocalyptic tale, and basically, if you’re a fan, there’s likely no doubt that you’ll be buying a ticket. For everyone else, probably not so much. Here’s the official synopsis:
Picking up immediately after the events in Resident Evil: Retribution, humanity is on its last legs after Alice is betrayed by Wesker in Washington D.C. As the only survivor of what was meant to be humanity’s final stand against the undead hordes, Alice must return to where the nightmare began — Raccoon City, where the Umbrella Corporation is gathering its forces for a final strike against the only remaining survivors of the apocalypse.
In a race against time Alice will join forces with old friends, and an unlikely ally, in an action packed battle with undead hordes and new mutant monsters. Between losing her superhuman abilities and Umbrella’s impending attack, this will be Alice’s most difficult adventure as she fights to save humanity, which is on the brink of oblivion.
“Resident Evil: The Final Chapter” opens on January 27, 2017.
