[REC] 4: Apocalypse

After the abysmal third installment of this franchise, I was hesitant to watch the final film, but I was pleasantly relieved. The found-footage style is still gone, but that's actually appropriate, as the scope of the story has changed. We need to be able to see everything happening all over the plot, so losing that feature of the [REC] films was a good choice here. There were characters from all three films present, and the plots of all three movies came together in an interesting and (mostly) believable way. It was an appropriate ending, although I could have done without the comedic end tag. A satisfying ending to a mostly solid franchise. 4/5
