    IMAX & 3D is BEST!

    Go see it in IMAX 3D and watch the blood splatter out the screen. Not as good as Avengers - then again nothing was this summer...certainly better than The Expendables 2 a total cheesy laughable movie. Milla still looks great for a flat chested woman and the movie certainly left it open for yet another sequel.

    Wait for the DVD

    I'm a big fan of the Resident Evil series. However, I was totally disappointed with this latest installment. I did like the fight choreography though. Milla, of course, was sensational as well as the other big name actors. Everyone else was doing B-movie acting or worse. Who wrote this dialogue? Fire them immediately please! Also, as an intelligent person, I questioned most of the situations because they were kind of silly. Example: Why would the team need a computer program or GPS to figure out how to escape to the back of the store? How did Alice suddenly know sign language to talk to her clone-child? I sincerely believe they only made this movie as a precursor to a video game. Therefore, wait for the DVD release.

    Alice Is At It Again...Big, Loud, Beautiful and Well-Armed.

    If you've followed this saga in film this far, the current installment won't disappoint you, as it represents yet another chapter in what appears to be an endless story(line). Still, this one is just as fun to watch as all the others and for the exact same reasons. Plus, you won't get a headache trying to follow the plot line (as in Total Recall). There's actually very little time for a plot here though, what with all the endless creature murder, violent angst and physically impossible body language...Side Note: One mustn?t spend too much time on that body language comment, as the posters alone speak loudly to this point. Without criticism, frankly it amazes me just how many different ways a movie murder can be performed without becoming monotonous. Don't bother counting them here either. You'll never get an accurate figure. All-in-all, this movie's entertaining and worth its ticket price. What more can you ask? Free popcorn? You're dreaming. See this movie. It's not bad.

    Y'all are trippin!

    Sorry, but I really loved this movie...well I am not sorry I feel like my opinion is valid here. This was a good movie..I am a diehard resident evil fan, and this movie totally had me on the edge of my seat because I just didn't know what to expect next. They brought back some essential characters that didn't make such a debut but it is only because it is setting you up for what's next! I just wanted to know what was going on, and the movie explains it. Go see this movie, and at the end of the day if you're a fan, no matter how much you DIDN'T like it guess what? YOU WILL GO TO SEE THE NEXT ONE JUST 'CAUSE YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN IT! And that's that's the point! However some of the acting had me laughing but hey it's all good...still worth the money! GO SEE IT! Milla and Michelle ROCK! My 2 favorite actresses of all time!

    Resident Evil: Retribution or should I say Ridicules!

    The movie should be called Resident Evil: Ridicules. I love the series of Resident Evil movies until now! Acting/BAD, story plot/RIDICULES, action segments/OK but not enough of them, computer generated graphics/POOR. Essentially, a waste of money and boring! Save your money and go see End of Watch!

    it was ok

    Wasn't as great as i expected, not as great as the others, but all in all its ok. I wish I hadn't spent the money to see it in IMAX thinking it was going to be as great as the others but oh well.

    Evil Goes global

    This movie was action packled, supensful, and had scenes that made you jump out of your seat. It truely added a new unique flavor to the Resident Evil. One that really unfolds all the gaps, leaving you toward the final chapter in this saga. I should also mention the specail effects and animation were out od this world

    VOTE FOR WORSE MOVIE EVER!

    by

    I grew up in what many consider the prime-time of movie making . I saw STAR WARS ,E.T. INDIANA , ROBO-COP , TERMINATOR . RAMBO , ROCKY . I know these were not all masterpieces of the film world. BUT Damn , at least try to put at least 2 weeks of work into it . This was either made up on the spot, or someone was high! I know i could make a movie better than this crap. Plot sucked , the intro to recap the last 4 movies sucked, It was a worse video game movie than the video game movie cut scenes. I was actually mad at myself for staying for the whole think , like i was violated and too scared to tell anyone. I been trying to figure what was the last movie that was this bad. I can't remember. It was JARJAR BINKS bad ! The memory will never go away EVER!

    Great action

    At this point I wouldn't be surprised what they come out with next. A lot of characters from the series. That was cool. But the storyline made no sense.

    very fanbase

    Gotta love a movie that hooks you withing the first minute of the opening trailer and never lets go. Clever writing allowing previous stars to come back. Thought provoking about the concept of suspension of disbelief. If you are a fan it is definitely worth paying theater prices.

    A lot better than expected.

    by gedec

    The only movies that I really liked from these series were the first two. I was pleasantly surprised that this movie was really on-par with those movies. Action sequences were really good, the fighting choreography was amazing, but the acting was not as natural as the first two movies.

    With the exception of original cast members from the other films, the newcomers were moving and speaking like they wanted to copy their video game counterparts. It was very painful to hear them talk. There was another cheesy part, but I don't want to spoil it for other people. Let's just say it happens in Moscow.

    The CG, make-up, costumes were very well done. I didn't see it in 3D, so I can't vouch for how good/bad it is.

    This was a very entertaining movie, so if you liked the first two RE's, then this movie is for you.

    Good action but lacked depth. Movie was condensed way too much!

    by

    Overall the movie was good and the effects were great. When Retribution was first announced, it was supposed to be over 2 hours long. Why did the director cut over 40 minutes from the movie? I believe this cut hurt the movie overall. The cut probably had more story and content we missed at the movies. I know it will get a blu-ray extended version but it should have never been cut from original format. See Wiki for original run time. Good movie, but I'd wait until you can actually see the entire movie on Blu-ray release date. I look forward to watching the original score not cut.

    Skip it

    Terrible plot and ending. Left a bunch of loose ends. This movie is the worst of the entire series and may not be worth a dollar.

    Set your expectations and standards low, very low

    by

    There was at least a solid 20 minutes of going back over the franchise to bring new watchers up to speed. By the end they had brought back old characters, defined the enemy, undid things that had been done, and basically set the franchise on a path to continue. They didn't do anything new yet struggled with writing an actual plot.
    If you are a fan of the series, you have to see it. If you aren't a fan, you really should skip this one in the theater.
