First of all, this is not a review. I've decided not to waste my time writing a long review for this film because it doesn't deserve it. It was a disappointment Specially for me, as I am a huge fan of the Resident Evil (Bio Hazard) video game series.
Film was only 96 minutes long. And I feel ashamed thinking that I've waited over an year for this. Entire film was nothing but a fast-paced chaos with a story that has no meaning. Yes, it was packed with heavy gun-actions, bombs, mutated creatures and zombies. Now, you may wonder why I would call a film like that Bullshit. Well, because all those things were performed in a stupid way that makes you laugh every time. Like when Alice does a flying kick while flying in the air longer than she has to. Film was missing that goosebumps-effect that I've got watching previous films. This was only a cheap manipulation.
I have to admit that seeing all the characters like Jill Valentine, Leon and Ada Wong from the video game teaming up in the film was a delight to watch. But the cheap dialogues and chaotic/messy action sequences didn't make any justice for their roles.
All I have to say is, if you're planning on buying the Blu-ray or the DVD of Resident Evil: Retribution, just don't. I still regret wasting my time with this film. Probably wont even watch the next sequel either because I have a feeling that it'll be worse than this one.
