really important at this point and Anderson played with the audience throughout the movie, making Jovovich's Alice a character very easy to sympathize with.The sequels, however, did not provide enough character moments or story and opted to turn the franchise into a mindless action disaster. Even though the third entry Extinction managed to improve on the character development and story department thanks to Mullcahy's direction the craziness was still the spotlight. All these positive aspects were then thrown completely away in the fourth installment. The story was all over the place, the audience cared more for the undead than for the characters, the action goes from crazy to "WTH?" and so on.Now these movies are enjoyable no matter what. Even Afterlife was fun to watch for its stupidity and craziness. It is a shame because something really good could have been made after the original since there was so much potential. Resident Evil: Retribution is not different than the three sequels but does mostly everything MUCH better. First, Anderson makes sure he brings back the best characters the franchise has had in the past movies connecting Retribution with the first entries. He then provides the movie with a simple but interesting story in a similar way to the original , immersive 3D, over the top action sequences and outstanding visuals.Retribution is the "Fast Five" of the Resident Evil franchise. It may not be the best but it is a very decent sequel that fans will absolutely love, the general public will enjoy and critics will hate with a passion.The movie is as short as the others but is incredibly fast-paced with non-stop action. There are many continuity issues and plot holes but after four movies, you know exactly what you're going to get and be prepared for Retribution to exceed your expectations. This is no masterpiece. There are no strong performances or a deep story with original ideas. This is a fifth installment in an mindless action zombie franchise and in that aspect, you CAN'T get better than this. It is certainly better than all the sequels as it manages to restore the sensible elements from the original some jump scares and tense moments included! whilst keeping the insanity and absurdity of the sequels.Short, fast-paced and visually impressive, RE:Retribution is a fifth installment that really works.8/10

what I would score the movie more like 8-9 but I think there's so many morbid people out there that score films like this so low its unfair. I look forward to the next RE movie ! now back to playing RE6.. :

the moment the movie starts the action, the music and the visuals pick up intensity. We rewind through a scene where Alice is fighting the Umbrella Corporation on the Arcada and from there on out the action continues until the very last scene.I truly have to give 50 thumbs up to Paul on this one. I never felt so entertained and exhilarated after seeing a Resident Evil movie like this one. The last 4 installments were missing something, you know that UMPH! To me this one got it! The fight scenes were incredible and the special effects in every scene were well done. The last scene where Alice has to fight Jill Valentine and where Rain has to fight Leon and Luther was just EPIC.Did I feel like this movie did its job? YES! Would I go see this again in the theaters over and over YES! Did I enjoy this more than the last 4 installments? Yes sir! I would recommend this film to anyone who enjoyed the last 4 films and has a true interest in the franchise. If you have seen the last 4 films and have some kind of interest in the story of the previous films and of Alice you'll like this film all the much more! So stop reading these reviews and go watch the freakin movie!

Afghanistan.* This is a part of s sequence - threat this as another part of the series. Why would you otherwise expect 1hr of references to the old movies, if it is supposed that you already watched them? This is not Star Wars! This part was a pure 1hr action instead of 1hr talks and clichés and like <1 min action. Find out what <<< holism >>> is and apply it to this movie franchise. Maybe then you will understand it.* Why would you still compare it to the games? If you played the games and expect a movie on the games, basically you will be watching a game play-through. Then I will be laughing on comments like "well spent money" The only criticism that I have about the series is that Paul drifted away from the zombies being the main issue to being no obstacle at all and focusing on bigger issues like Wesker and stronger mutants. But I understand his decision. If he dramatizes the zombies every new episode the script would be trivial like those TV zombie series. After all , the main character matures and learns how to kill zombies better. This is a pure action SCI-fi movie, not a drama! Are you still confused? Then, probably the RE movie franchise isn't for you.

Alice and is still as great as the first Resident Evils. This movie was done perfectly and I loved that it was more involved with the Video Game series yet still part of the movie. I will be going to see this again for sure before it is out of theaters.I give Resident Evil: Retribution a 9 out of 10.GO SEE THIS MOVIE.~Joe

clones to test Alice.One is where Alice is a mother to a little girl named Becky Aryana Engineer and her husband is Todd Oded Fehr however things change fast for Alice as she soon discover she is in a world that Umbrella created.However she is soon join by Ada Wong Bingbing Li who convince her to work with her in order to survive the nightmare game that Umbrella started.The movie main villain is Jill Valentine Sienna Guillory who is under mind control thanks to the Red Queen, she wears a device on her chest just like Jill did in Resident Evil 5.She is join with her team One Colin Salmon Carlos Oded Fehr and Rain Michelle Rodriguez to take out Project Alice at all cost.However another team send by Albert Wesker Shawn Roberts lead by Leon S.Kennedy Johann Urb ,Barry Burton Kevin Durand , Sergei Robin Kasyanov and Luther West Boris Kodjoe to help Alice and Ada survive the Umbrella monsters.We see the returns of the Axeman, Lickers and of course the zombies who are now like animals.I got to say they really did a lot to make the movie feel like the game and they took a few cut scenes from the game and made them into the movie which is a awesome way to show respect to the Resident Evil Games.The action is really intent and pack a wallet and you can never guess what happens next so my advice is go see Resident Evil Retribution you will not be sorry.I know I am not sorry there is very a moment rest in the movie just when you think the thrill is over here come more thrills it like one creature after another.It just keeps you on the edge of your seat and believe me you will not be sorry you saw this movie.I give Resident Evil:Retribution a 9 out of 10 really ranks up there with the other movies My name is Alice and this is my world

IMDb page, saying oh how this movie sucks and how Anderson ran into writing blocks, yadda, yadda, yadda.You know, since the first movie, people have been giving negative critiques, saying it is generic, saying there is no originality, saying there is no storyline, saying there are plot holes. What has become out of this is a whole let's-give-RE-bad-reviews-all-the-time bandwagon. I mean, it is just so easy finding out flaws out of a movie if you put your mind in it. This movie is awesome for the following reasons: 1 Milla Jovovich - She is so full of energy. Her fighting scenes are so surreal and the way she talks, the way she moves, the whole set just redefines Alice as the whole zombie-killing badass. Her acting is so commendable on this installment. There was one scene - which I won't spoil - where she had to decide quickly and certain circumstances indicated that she might be in grave danger and just that moment she shred a tear of fear; this scene was so powerful I still remember it now.2 Opening credits - Seriously, negative reviewers? It is one of the most creative ones I have seen for a horror movie. It was so cool seeing bullets of guns flying back to their origins and everything was just spectacular. The cinematography was spot-on for the opening credits. For the first in my life, I didn't mind the long opening credits. 3 Action-packed - Who wants a zombie movie without action? This whole movie was so freaking action packed, I found myself not breathing during so many scenes. This movie, I assure you, would hold you on to your seats and make you not wanting to blink, because each scene is just so brightly put together.4 Creativity - Seriously? Generic? I have never seen such beautifully crafted zombies in any zombie movies I've seen. This movie just gave a variety of the undead I was so awed whenever the undead attacked Alice or her friends.I would not drone on and on because I realize I am not the kind of person who gets his points across easily. I do know we are all entitled to our opinions but I just can't stand it when the negative reviews are all so unnecessarily negative. Give some credit to this RE's installment's team! They did a great job! Li Bing Bing Ada also did great - she had significant chemistry with Alice and I loved it.Yes, there were plot holes but there were quite minor, and the mind-blowing scenes just overwhelmed these "plot holes".If you didn't like the movie, you're most probably just another critic who is on the bandwagon or a person who hates zombie movies.I love zombie movies. I love Milla Jovovich. I love Resident Evil. Keep 'em coming.8/10

depth, it is still the best of them. Since then, the franchise began to exchange terror for action - betting on the cliché "more is better".'Resident Evil 2: Apocalypse' Alice showed a genetically altered with super-powers, walking the night streets of Raccoon City, fighting not only against zombies, but also against other aberrations more "evolved" and deadly. The film presented the beloved Jill Valentine, but not wowed.In Resident Evil 3: Extinction 'director Russell Mulcahy was able to resume the reins of the franchise, creating an interesting post-apocalyptic world and a Las Vegas desolate. The production was a bit better than the last, and presented Claire Redfield, Jill left in place without much explanation .'Resident Evil 4: afterlife' was again directed and scripted by Anderson, who wrote a vulgar and superficial plot, hoping to unite all the outlandish action scenes with little dialog. The result was a range of characters shallow, betting on 3D effects. Neither the presence of the brethren Redfield managed to save the production.'Resident Evil 5: Retribution' Resident Evil: Retribution , again written and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson, can regain the quality of the first film, and features a plot slightly more evolved than the last.The film begins with Alice exactly where we last saw the end of Resident Evil 4: Restart - on the deck of the mysterious ship Arcadia, where she hoped to find more survivors of the epidemic.But in reality, what awaits is a battle of his life, when his former ally, Jill Valentine Sienna Guillory , and a squadron of helicopters terrible V-22 of the Umbrella Corporation approaching with orders to shoot to kill .Alice awakens in the heart of Umbrella's clandestine operations, and discovers more secrets of his mysterious past as delves into the complex. Without a safe haven, Alice continues to hunt those responsible for the virus, a chase that takes her from Tokyo to New York, Washington, DC and Moscow, culminating in a mind-blowing revelation that will force her to rethink everything she believed to be true .With a frantic pace, all scenes are loaded with zombies, explosions, monsters, shootings and fights. It's difficult to breathe between one sequence and another, since the great 3D takes you into the screen.This is what most resembles the games: the Red Queen commands the action, announcing where the protagonists will then separating the battles in stages where characters must dodge enemies - like La Plagas and the Axemen. Just one joystick to get you into the action.Anderson came up with an ingenious way of bringing back characters who had suffered brutal deaths in the previous films, including Rain Michelle Rodriguez, and always great playing several characters and Jill Valentine Sienna Guillory in acting weak and full of catchphrases . Carlos Oded Fehr, great , Luther West Boris Kodjoe, good and Albert Wesker Shawn Roberts also return in style.Who gives a show is China's Li Bingbing 'The Forbidden Kingdom' , who lives Ada Wong, Wesker agent that fights alongside Alice. Very comfortable in the role, she will win over fans of the games and movies. Johann Urb also shows great talent as Leon Scott Kennedy.The sequence in which Alice appears as a simple housewife in the suburbs is the best, showing that what is missing is the action excessive leave aside and return to the horror genre - Anderson seems to know that driving with more wisdom.'Resident Evil 5: Retribution' will appeal to fans of the franchise and action movies, with breathtaking sequences and doses of suspense and laughs volunteers - but starts to show some wear. Is your brain off and watch a dazzling game without being in charge of the Joystick.
