Retribution finds Alice trapped in a cyber-psychedelic prison in the bowels of Umbrella's stronghold, deep under the ice, in a remote corner of Russia.
So it goes with Resident Evil: Retribution, the latest in this never-ending sci-fi/shock-horror series.īased on the popular ’90s video game, the films follow the bone-cracking trials and travails of Alice (Milla Jovovich), Resident Evil 's resident super-soldier, a rogue ex-operative of the Umbrella Corporation, a sinister global organisation responsible for accidentally unleashing a deadly virus that kick-starts a zombie apocalypse. And - again, much like beer, tacos, and marriages - if you've gone that far, the fifth is rarely the last.
The fifth one of anything is rarely the best, whether it's movie franchises, beer, tacos, or marriages.
