As soon as the movie started I was overcome with waves of dizziness. The title appeared on the screen, but the letters blurred and came into focus again, now spelling 'Rohypnol: Rear Tribute'. From this point on I remember only vague blobs of color, incomprehensible sounds, and a constant sense of vertigo. It's now 90 minutes later and I've regained consciousness. Now only questions remain. Why can't I stop crying and why does my butt hurt? I... I think Paul W.S. Anderson molested me. Oh god.

Not a total steaming pile of a movie but it definitely is as stinky as Zombie toe-jam. The action in this movie was intense and wonderful and if you just focus on that the movie is great. If you listen closely though the lines sound like they were written by the guy who wrote the lines for the first Resident Evil game. YOU ALMOST BECAME A JILL SANDWICH. The story was very blah and the characters uninteresting. Oh and they made Leon look sucky when he is in fact a total badass.

better than the prequel

Devoid of character & amoral to its core, but still more visually impressive than many more serious fantasy films -- the Hobbit comes to mind -- this isn't pure cinema, it's pure video game, achievement & special-powers driven rather than plotted or developed. Taken as such, I had some fun watching. If it had been an hour long, about my limit for game-playing, I would have given it 5 STARS!

Same same but same. It was totally what I was expecting from the film though. Lots of action, pretty good 3D effects, lame dialogue, bad acting and little to no sense. At this point, if you're not a fan or want a dumb action movie, don't even consider it.

A badassbabe and cool action-scenes can be enjoyable; the first three movies in this franchise succeeded decently (AFAIR), but this one continues the trend from the installment before with an awful cool/crap-ratio. *Preview*: #12#, hype, popcorn, 'pt1-4', Milla J/6-3.

Definitley one for the fans of the series, and while it might disappoint some it will please others. Was confusing at first but eventually made sense and I thoroughly enjoyed it :)

A small step down from Afterlife, mainly because the plot makes my head hurt trying to comprehend it, but still very entertaining.

The most uneventful of all the movies so far. RUSSIAN ZOMBIE SOLDIERS WITH CHAINSAWS AND RPGS!! Acting is as poor as ever. The fights were well choreographed.

As a fan of the RE games, I have obviously felt completely trolled by the movies for a while, but this one really takes the cake. Be prepared to sit through the first couple films all over again, in slowmo, plus a super secret bonus OVA where Alice is a housewife (spoiler alert). Wouldn't be so bad if the already subpar special effects didn't take a huge hit. Jeez, can we just fast forward to the reboot already?

1- absolute torture, terrible

Pencil thin Milla supposedly reverts to being a normal human in the beginning yet she's wielding a chain with a lock like a fucking ninja spinning upside down kicking zombies in the teeth. Anderson is such a mindless hack he can't even keep up with all the storyline changes to the characters in his movie. The actors must have been standing in the same green screen room reading off teleprompter because that's what the acting is like at times. Pretty cgi but shitastic everything else.

I am a HUGE fan of the Resident Evil fans and in every of the movies in the series before it there was something I liked. This is the first one that I sat through like: WTF? WTF? WTF? the entire time. Who came up with this piece of sh*t? In the end the only useful piece of information was the last 2 minutes of the movie, and that just felt like a trailer for RE6... Sigh!

Getting to see Michelle Rodriguez die twice in the same movie was just the cherry on top of this amazing sundae made from two scoops of retardation, sprinkled with ridiculousness and drizzled with "holy shit, what the fuck did I just watch?"

Utterly ridiculous. By this point it's clear no one has any interest in making things coherent, or in good acting, and it's almost a relief. Crazy, over the top kinetic action with decently choreographed fight sequences in a sea of nonsense.

Nothing new here. The plot seems to go backwards, that's how slow it progresses. The action scenes are decent but as always, there is WAY too much slow motion. I think the movie would have been half an hour shorter if they just left that out. However, I am going to watch the next installment. I'd like to see a reboot that's closer to the games though.

Jesus, this stuff sucks

Wow, how low. LOL

quite possibly the worst move I have ever watched.

Just flat out juvenile. Terrible filmmaking.

WTF. The only thing I liked was the 'badguy scene' at the end.

Wow, talking about tired old formula. Watching this movie is like chewing bubble gum for way too long - flavorless. Slo-mo sequence gets spammed, characters you thought were dead gets 'revived', BingBing Li is as stiff and expressionless as a wooden puppet, and everyone is pretty much reduced to fighting robots. The action sequences definitely failed to excite - you've seen everything before, many times. I hereby declare this movie 'eco-friendly' - it's entirely made of recycled materials.

really awesome 10 out of 10 i love it

I feel as if I have seen this before. Not good. On the plus side it does have Bingbing Li.

High on action, low on plot. I suppose this is what you'd get if you wrote a script around a random collection of action set pieces.

Staahp pleeaase!

It's the fifth nonsense and I'm still paying to watch. There's something wrong here.

Few nice effects. Nothing else good to say about it.

Good CGI, but very stupid. Lot of action.

I think it was slightly better than Afterlife. A lot just didn't make sense. They just added twists & scares instead of plot. It was kinda cool to have a few characters back, but they’re either severely underused or misused. Same with characters from the games. The dialogue was pretty much all awful. & when Jovovich & the 10-year-old Engineer are the best actors, there’s something wrong. The action was fine, but not anything new. The best thing I can say about it is Jovovich is still awesome.

Resident Evil: Retribution follows nicely on the heels of its predecessors with many hat tips to what has come before and just as much violence (lots) and depth (none). Not a great movie per se, but lots of fun.

This is the video gamest movie. Arbitrary reset after the last one, ridiculous explanation for unrelated action setpieces, a stupid mishmash of random monsters. Even the acting seems almost deliberately bad to match the stilted animation and delivery of games. I think fans of the game series hate these movies so much because they show just how stupid the games are without gameplay to bolster the terrible writing. Also I don't get why they dubbed Li Binging's lines, her English is fine.

Non existent script and mediocre acting but would you expect anything else? None of this matters as you have Milla Jovovich in a skin tight black cat suit.

Resident Evil: Retribution is a Resident Evil movie through and through. It has a lot of action, a bunch of characters from the video games, some gorgeous visuals produced on a relatively modest budget, and absolutely no depth to anything other than the convolution given to its universe. If you've stuck with the series through to this point, you'll want to see this one, too. If you haven't, this isn't the film that will make you want to go back and see the others.

reset the whole thing, start over, reset! add character kill it, resurtturct it bla bla. always same old sh*t. i've watched all resident evil movies on theater but this was the last time! i wont watch it in theather anymore.
