The film comprises 20 per cent boring plot talk and 80 per cent even more boring action.

The action scenes are choppy and move so quickly, it made me dizzy. Some scenes are so dark, you can't see what's happening, and the movie took itself too seriously - basically, sucking the life of the series.

Perhaps you need to be a Resident Evil completist to get the finer points of the plotting.

The unintelligibility of it all cannot be overstated.
