Resident Evil Retribution: Movie Review. I enjoyed the film to a certain point. The movie has some major issues but at the same time its a fun time watching zombies getting kicked by Alice. Resident Evil Retribution is a visually spectacular, stunning, stylish film with amazing and awesome 3D effects and character design. The cinematography is fantastic and the fight sequences choreography is excellent. The locations and set pieces are dazzling and innovative. The performance of Milla Jovovich is good and strong.The major issue with the film is that the story is very weak and convoluted and characters are very underdeveloped. The sequences are very fast paced and are confusing and complicated. Some scenes are dull and boring. The movie lacks proper and smooth structure and the characterizations are heavily underutilized due to the weak script and unconvincing screenplay.(Please Note: That This Review represent only my professional point of view and my personal honest opinion about the film, and does not represent others. Thank You).

The Resident Evil series jumped the shark with Afterlife and I thought Retribution would be just that: retribution. I thought they'd use this movie as a means of making amends, righting the wrongs, correcting the blunders and all that good stuff. Instead they laid another egg. Again the acting was poor, the story half-brained and the fight sequences putrid. There was nothing redeeming about exposed gun fights with high powered automatic weapons yielding no target hits (besides the faceless goons), or the slow motion, bordering paranormal fight sequences that were horribly choreographed and terribly executed. And is it too much to show someone actually running when they're running? You know: arms moving, head bobbing, face contorted with heavy breathing and other known characteristics associated with running. Instead we get glamour running. Hair neatly flowing in the wind, face at ease and arms and legs moving symmetrically all in slo-mo. This movie did nothing to atone for Afterlife. This was no retribution.

I don't know what they were thinking when they made this movie. First off, this movie has nothing to do with the video game franchise. I think they wanted to create an action and horror movie and failed in both because just like in the previous movies, the plot is beyond horrible and makes no sense whatsoever. The action scenes, stunts and special effects are OK but I wasn't really impressed; The characters are boring and everything else in this movie is a huge mess. Considering how boring movies based on video game series are, I still don't know why I decided to watch this movie in the first place. This is definitely one of the worst and most boring movies I have ever seen. Also I think they would be better off naming this movie something else, probably would get less hate that way.

It's pretty amazing that Hollywood keeps throwing money at Paul W. S. Anderson to make films with his wooden wife, Milla Jovovich. RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION is yet another instalment in the endless franchise, and there are so many of these cookie cutter movies that by now I've lost count of where we are in the series. This follows straight on with the last one and tries for freshness with a few 'virtual reality' scenes of zombie attacks, but for the most part it's just incessant CGI action.Jovovich has always been poor in these movies; a supposed kick-ass heroine, she continually fails to have any screen presence whatsoever. As she gets older so her body becomes unable to do some of the tougher stunts, so the films get more reliant on CGI as they go on. This one sees Jovovich fighting villains ripped off from SILENT HILL, teaming up and fighting some old faces, and going up against various unstoppable bad guys. It's completely yawn worthy, with nothing we haven't seen before, and I frequently checked my watch, hoping it would all be over soon. Anderson's direction is awful, obsessed with flashy slow motion which looks like a teenage boy was directing.Realising just how poor and plot less these films have become, Anderson tries desperately to draw in old and new fans alike. So we get a Chinese character (Li Bingbing) for Asian audiences, plus the return of Michelle Rodriguez and Colin Salmon after they died in the first film. Sadly, Salmon only makes a brief cameo, although Rodriguez has more to work with and seems to be the toughest out of all of them. Jovovich is a bore, but her acting is sublime in comparison to the excruciating Sienna Guillory, who gives the most wooden line readings I've ever heard. This is a dud all round.
