Resident Evil: Retribution

Resident Evil: Retribution

Rating 5 out of 10

This is the fifth in a series of Resident Evil movies starring Milla Jovovich as the hot leather clad karate kicking gun shooting woman out to save humanity.  I'm not a gamer but I know the movies were based on a popular video game.  Unfortunately it shows.  I have seen each of the previous four.  After each movie I would say the action is good but the movie was so stupid I'd never go to another one.  A year or two would go by and I would forget how bad the previous movie was.  The slick trailers get my blood pumping and before I know it I'm shelling out my pesos for a movie ticket.

The movie does have some incredible visuals and action.  Alice (Milla) starts out in a paper dress then switches to a skin tight leather outfit complete with guns that never run out of bullets.  As I said I have seen now all five of these movies and admit I had no clue what was going on here.  She was breaking out of a facility with five hunky soldiers breaking in the other side of the facility fighting their way to her to help out.  Hundreds of zombies and faceless soldiers that can't shoot a person 50 ft in front of them.  The cast is actually pretty good and they spent million$ on effects.  Why they can't use a few of those dollars to make a script that makes sense I'll never know.

It was fun watching Alice and the hot asian babe in a tight red dress kicking butt.  Unfortunately it's just too stupid to recommend.  I'll never go see another Resident Evil movie... well until the next one comes out.  : >
