Resident Evil: Retribution

Somehow it is a must to catch this many sequel of the beloved gaming franchise. Recently, I've watched the animation but it has no direct connection to the RE: Retribution. Then again, the movie has no direct connection to the game.

Retribution takes off directly after Apocalypse. The opening credit was uniquely amazing (even though it has been commonly used) but after the credit is over, whatever that you've watched seems to quick. Back again is Milla Jovovich as Alice, Michelle Rodrigues character (Rain) and Jill Valentine. There are other known characters from the game franchise but they seem like a smaller role,

This time round, the action sequences are better but like most sequel, the storyline is very bland. I've stopped playing at RE:4 hence a bit unfamiliar with the characters. The line-up of enemies are quite vast with seekers, zombified soldiers and the thing-with-the-axe (featured in Apocalypse which look similar like the boss from Silent Hill). The fight sequence with the thing-with-axe got interesting when there's 2 of them and the seeker seems to huge than the game (or is there a huge seeker in the game that I'm not aware of).

Overall, expect a great sequence and the lovely kick-ass Alice. Storyline line is typically bland. Stick to the action and the game references for satisfaction.
