The Umbrella Corporation's deadly T-virus continues to ravage the Earth, transforming the global population into legions of the flesh eating Zombies. The human race's last and only hope, ALICE (Milla Jovovich), Without a safe haven, Alice continues to track those responsible for the outbreak, a pursuit that takes her from Tokyo, New York, Washington D C and Moscow.

Resident Evil Retribution has elements and has been influenced some what by the latest Resident Evil 4 game, this includes some similarities in the movies story and action scenes. These influences will always go down well with the Resident Evil gamers, however the similarities are only minor and it doesn't really make Retribution any more like the games than previous instalments.

Resident Evil Retribution has a very simple story, simple dialog and it's certainly not very taxing for the mind to follow. Because of this Retribution becomes difficult to stay focused on, there is just nothing really to keep your attention for very long. The acting is fine but there's no real character development so you don't really care about any of the characters which lowered my attention even further.

There are some good points to this movie, these are the visuals and the action scenes. Retribution really does look good, the best looking of all the Resident Evil movies, it's very easy on the eye. It's just a shame the movie didn't have a little more substance over all. The action scenes are impressive if a little over the top.

Overall a visually very impressive movie, however everything else is below average, the fans should enjoy this but most people will probably lose interest quickly.
