Milla Jovovich is back as Alice in “Resident Evil: Retribution” wasting the undead zombies created by the Umbrella Coprporation by the thousands and thousands.
This is the fifth film in the sci-fi franchise has we get a better look at the workings of the Umbrella Corporation. The movie picks up right at the end of the fourth movie where Alice and her friends are on the aircraft carrier looking for saftey with the entire Umbrella army racing towards them. Alice is captured and awakens in a corporate headquarters where the strains of the T virus were tested to see what results could be expected. We soon learn that some people in the Umbrella Corporation have realized that maybe the zombie virus accidentally released on the world is not such a good thing. They now help Alice in her fight against the corporate baddies.
I found the 3-D effects decent but not enough. There is a nice turn of events that made me ready for the next sequel, the presumed finale.
Many of the past characters return thanks to cloning and even Alice gets some mother-daughter vibes when she befriends a deaf child named Becky.
I liked the action in the movie but the story I found weak. Couple of holes but it is fantasy. If you liked the other movies you should like this one also.
