At this year’s Comic Con, director Paul W.S. Anderson debuted a clip from the upcoming RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION, which features Alice (Milla Jovovich) fighting a blonde Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory) in a Siberian setting, while returning star Michelle Rodriguez catches some bullets and joins the fight. Sounds about right, eh?
The clip is a dizzying array of slow motion leaps in the air, senseless “cat” landings, and booming electro-rock. So, pretty much a rehash of every Resident Evil cliche you’ve come to expect. I’m actually surprised at how boring it all is, as usually I can find something good in hot chicks wearing tight clothing and throwing down, but this just feels clumsy and yawn-inducing. But, there’s an audience for these pics, so I won’t begrudge those who may enjoy this little rumpus.
300, this aint:
RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION is the fifth entry in this long, drawn-out series, starring Milla Jovovich, Sienna Guillory, Michelle Rodriguez, Oded Fehr, and Bingbing Li with a release set for September 14, 2012.
