The videogame zombie killers are back at it again in RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION, the hit franchise starring Milla Jovovich. The badass female star returns for the fifth outing of the series, which brings back a few fan favorites, including Sienna Guillory, Oded Fehr, and Michelle Rodriguez. Honestly, I can’t make heads or tails about what’s going on in these films as I checked out at the third one. However, I recognize their significance to viewers as either fans of the games or fans of shitty action romps. Let’s face it, sometimes the worst action films can be great simply because they ARE shitty.

And here’s a synopsis. Yes, there is a story:
The wildly successful film franchise adaptation that has grossed nearly $700 million worldwide to the popular video game series, “Resident Evil,” returns in its highly anticipated fifth installment, “Re5ident Evil: Retribution” in state-of-the art 3D.
The Umbrella Corporation’s deadly T-virus continues to ravage the Earth, transforming the global population into legions of the flesh eating Undead. The human race’s last and only hope, Alice (Milla Jovovich), awakens in the heart of Umbrella’s most clandestine operations facility and unveils more of her mysterious past as she delves further into the complex. Without a safe haven, Alice continues to hunt those responsible for the outbreak; a chase that takes her from Tokyo to New York, Washington, D.C. and Moscow, culminating in a mind-blowing revelation that will force her to rethink everything that she once thought to be true. Aided by newfound allies and familiar friends, Alice must fight to survive long enough to escape a hostile world on the brink of oblivion. The countdown has begun.
