History Film / ResidentEvilTheFinalChapter

* ShootTheShaggyDog: Part of Isaac's plan to hit the survivors of Raccoon City involves luring zombies to it by dragging live humans behind his armored vehicles. The last one is a woman that he releases, letting her run to the gates, giving Alice and Claire a shot at saving her, so they open the gates and pick off all the zombies behind her as best as they can. Isaacs waits till the gates are open and they've played their hand, whereupon he has the woman shot dead.

* {{Retcon}}: The various reveals do this to several past facts, such as Umbrella's founder Dr. Marcus being the creator of the T-Virus and Red Queen (where ''[[Film/ResidentEvilApocalypse Apocalypse]]'' had previously credited them to Dr. Ashford), Dr. Isaac being the co-owner of Umbrella and Wesker's superior, and, perhaps most glaring, [[spoiler:Umbrella having intentionally engineered the global outbreak (despite the first film clearly depicting that the outbreak happened at the hands of Spence as he tried to steal the virus, and Umbrella actively fighting it in past movies), and the Dr. Issacs from ''Apocalypse'' and ''Extinction'' being a clone.]]

** The reveal that [[spoiler:Umbrella deliberately engineered the apocalypse]] goes against the first three movies, where [[spoiler:they were actually trying to ''prevent'' the spread of the T-Virus, going as far as nuking Raccoon City]].

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Dr. Isaacs, [[spoiler:both versions of him]], turns out to be a pretty damn good fighter and gives Alice quite a fight. This is particularly notable in the case of [[spoiler:the clone]] Dr. Isaacs as there's no indication he's been enhanced by Umbrella in any way, making him the only BadassNormal in the series to give Alice major trouble in a fight.

** "Wesker, [[spoiler:you're fired]]", which is directly proceeded by the Red Queen killing him.

* CloningBlues: [[spoiler:The reason Alice [[YouWakeUpInARoom woke up in the first movie with no memory of who she was]] is because she's a clone of the real Alice. At the end of the movie, the real Alice transfers her childhood memories to Alice. Likewise the Isaacs that Alice met previously are all clones, made to think they are the original so they will have the same drive to succeed.]]

* WalkingSpoiler: Most of these entries refer to the TheReveal, which involve Wesker being a bad guy again, the return of Dr. Isaacs, [[spoiler:[[CloningBlues clones]], and Alice's origins and fate]].

The film also stars Creator/IainGlen as Dr. Alexander Isaacs, Creator/AliLarter as Claire Redfield, Creator/ShawnRoberts as Albert Wesker, Creator/EoinMacken as Doc, Creator/RubyRose as Abigail and Creator/WilliamLevy as Christian.

* GottaKillThemAll: This is Alice's plan for handling the T-Virus monsters and what is left of Umbrella. Plotwise, [[spoiler:every character in ''The Final Chapter'' except for Alice, Claire, and the Red Queen [[CharactersDroppingLikeFlies are dead]] by the end of the movie]]. This is possibly subverted in that [[spoiler:there are a large number of survivors holed up in Raccoon City who don't accompany Alice's team to the Hive and presumably survive, especially since Dr. Issacs' clone diverts the zombie attack meant to kill them in an attempt to kill Alice instead]].

''Resident Evil: The Final Chapter'' is the sixth and, according to director Creator/PaulWSAnderson, final installment of the ''Film/ResidentEvilFilmSeries''. Anderson returns to the director's chair for the fourth time in the series, and Creator/MillaJovovich returns as Alice, the central character of the series.

* KillEmAll: This is Alice's plan for handling the T-Virus monsters and what is left of Umbrella. Plotwise, [[spoiler:every character in ''The Final Chapter'' except for Alice, Claire, and the Red Queen are dead by the end of the movie]]. This is possibly subverted in that [[spoiler:there are a large number of survivors holed up in Raccoon City who don't accompany Alice's team to the Hive and presumably survive, especially since Dr. Issacs' clone diverts the zombie attack meant to kill them in an attempt to kill Alice instead]].

* CarFu: Alice's WeaponOfChoice in her battle against the GiantFlyer in the D.C. ruins is a surprisingly intact and fueled Humvee. That is, until she crashes it into the beast and [[StuffBlowingUp detonates a claymore mine]] [[LudicrousGibs in its face]].

** Instead of blowing up Isaacs [[spoiler:while he's still holding the antivirus vial]], which seems extremely careless, Alice instead [[spoiler:''swaps'' the antivirus vial for a grenade when Isaacs isn't looking, and blows him up that way.]]

* TheFundamentalist: [[spoiler:The clone Isaacs]], and to a lesser extent [[spoiler:the original]], see the T-Virus as a divine cleansing of the Earth, so that "the chosen", namely Umbrella's leadership and allies, can reclaim the world afterwards.

--->'''[[spoiler:Wesker]]:''' I should've killed you [[spoiler:in Washington]].\\

** The laser grid from past ''Resident Evil'' films makes a return, and the trailers make sure to show Alice avoiding them in the coolest way possible, but ''not'' the final grid trap that she wouldn't be able to beat no matter how she dodged.

* TankGoodness: The bug-like Umbrella tanks from the trailers play a prominent role in the story, are heavily armed and generally quite awesome.

* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: Both the American and international trailers give away the identity of one of ''The Final Chapter'''s primary villains, Dr. Isaacs. The American trailer also spoils the plot point of Wesker betraying Alice in D.C.

* RuleOfCool: The laser grid from past ''Resident Evil'' films makes a return, and the trailers make sure to show Alice avoiding them in the coolest way possible. The many ridiculously multi-barreled handguns fall firmly under this as well.

** [[spoiler:Death never seems to bother Dr. Isaacs because he is a clone of the original. [[ThereCanBeOnlyOne He does not take this well.]]]]
** [[spoiler:Alice is a clone of the co-owner of Umbrella, though she takes it in stride.]]

* HopeSpot: A brief one during the DeadlyRotaryFan scene. When the thing gets going again, both Alice and Abigail, after some struggling, manage to get their feet on the ground once more, enough to evoke hope that everyone who's still alive by that point might yet stay that way after all. [[spoiler:It doesn't last long, and Abigail gets turned into red mist by the blades seconds later.]]

* AirVentPassageway:

*** Captives, attached to a rope, are forced to run behind Umbrella tanks and try to keep up to avoid being devoured by the horde of zombies chasing them, the idea being to draw these zombies to these enclaves. After capturing Alice, she's also forced to run behind the tank, but she eventually manages to catch up to the tank and jump on, then free herself and escape.
*** Dr. Isaacs does the same thing to another unfortunate woman. She manages to remain running until the tank reaches its destination, but Isaacs sadistically frees her and lets her try to run away from the zombies before shooting her in the back. After the survivors defeat the tank, they shackle the MookLieutenant behind the tank and [[PayEvilUntoEvil force him to run to draw the rest of the zombies away]].

* CloningBlues: [[spoiler:Dr. Isaacs, last seen getting killed in ''Extinction'', is pursuing Alice to Raccoon City; the film later reveals that both he and Alice are clones of Umbrella's co-owners]].

* ChaseStopsAtWater: Everyone jumps into a lake to escape a pack of Cerberus, and the few that fall in with them can't swim, apparently because [[SuperDrowningSkills their decayed bodies lack natural buoyancy]]. However the rest of the pack just run around the edge and attack once they climb out the other side.

* CannotCrossRunningWater: Everyone jumps into a lake to escape a horde of Cerberus, and the few that fall in with them can't swim, apparently because their decayed bodies lack natural buoyancy. However the rest of the pack just run around the edge and attack once they climb out the other side.

* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: [[spoiler:The clone Isaacs']] MookLieutenant is an obvious honor graduate, given how he manages to not hit shit with two miniguns and a MacrossMissileMassacre all firing at once. Granted, a fleeing motorbike is a small target, but his targeting computer and the sheer amount of MoreDakka alone should have guaranteed at least a couple of lucky hits.

* KillItWithFire: Used extensively during Umbrella's siege on the Racoon City survivors. Their hastily improvised fire weapons do quite a good job against the zombie army and even the tanks.

* TheMole: Isaac indicates early on that there is "an informant" in the Raccoon City settlement. The Red Queen later tells Alice in a for her ears only conversation that there's a good chance that one of her teammates is working for Umbrella. Alice had already figured out who it is by the time of TheReveal:

* CloningBlues: [[spoiler:The reason Alice [[YouWakeUpInARoom woke up in the first movie with no memory of who she was]] is because she's a clone of the real Alice. At the end of the movie, the real Alice transfers her childhood memories to Alice]].
