Some people asked me to elaborate, so here it goes: MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. . . . A movie with a stupid script and even dumber characters. EVERY single character in this movie is an absolute idiot. Off the top of my head, one example is the cop who's introduced as this tough (and obviously masculine-coded), stoic woman who's completely focused on her mission. ...until she spots a random group of zombies, decides to jump out of the car and start shooting wildly at them, then chases them off on her own, only to disappear completely and eventually get herself killed because of her own stupidity. Right after that, a guy who's still in the car starts honking to "hurry up" the protagonist, which naturally attracts the monster, and he gets eaten almost immediately. And that's just one of countless instances where the characters' sheer stupidity is what drives the plot forward. The whole scientist sequence toward the end... Jesus Christ. It's so absurd that the movie practically turns into a comedy. The protagonist is an absolute moron, too. Just unbelievably stupid. Cheap, tedious attempts at emotionally manipulating the audience, relying on an excessive number of jump scares and constant MCU-style quips. Millennial dialogue. A bunch of creatures that have never appeared in any Resident Evil game. Instead of getting Lickers, Hunters, Tyrants, or any of the franchise's iconic monsters, we get some bizarre mashup of The Thing (the 1982 John Carpenter masterpiece, one of the greatest films ever made, by the way. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and watch it), Parasyte (the anime), and a bunch of other generic monsters that make absolutely no sense. In short, this movie feels like it was made by someone who has absolutely no idea what Resident Evil is. In fact, it almost feels like a movie that originally had absolutely nothing to do with the franchise, until someone managed to secure a deal to use the Resident Evil IP. They then took whatever story they already had and tried to shoehorn it into the Resident Evil universe. I'll say it again: this is one of the worst things I can remember ever watching. And that's saying something, considering I watch far more movies, including much more obscure ones, than the average person. This movie doesn't work even if you completely disregard the fact that it's supposed to be a Resident Evil movie. And it doesn't work as a comedy either. It's silly, generic, completely devoid of charisma or identity. It's just bad. For context, I went into this movie with rock-bottom expectations, and somehow, it still managed to disappoint me.
