Anderson was apparently too excited about getting to work with his wife (Jovovich) again to actually plot a screenplay.
Alice gets about two minutes to establish a connection with the girl (enough to risk her life for her), before picking up heavy guns to continue with the shooting and the beating up (in her skin-tight costume, of course). And just when you begin to think that Alice is rather frigid, she discovers Becky, who has been hiding in a closet (with a zombie, but both are unaware of each other). These include zombies, undead armies in tanks and on bikes, gigantic axe-men, and the humongous, monster-sized Licker, who eats humans. Much like a video game, each level has a threat that needs to be eliminated. She can go back to the surface (yes, all this nonsense can only take place underground/underwater) if she can manage to zip past the various artificially-simulated cities (NY, Tokyo, Moscow) that the Umbrella Corporation has built for their warped experiments. The original Alice is still alive, held captive by the Umbrella Corporation (the T-Virus guys). As soon as you discover this about her, her family is attacked by zombies, and although she is rescued by Rain (Michelle Rodriguez), a zombified Todd attacks her.īut wait. Now, Alice is a blond housewife in a suburb, with a hearing-impaired daughter Becky (Aryana Engineer), and a charming husband Todd (Oded Fehr). When the credits end, the same sequence plays in real time and ends with an explosion that knocks our Super Woman Alice (Milla Jovovich) overboard.Ĭut to a very distorted and confusing montage that quickly recaps what happened in the past four movies - a deadly T-Virus was released, all those infected became zombies, Alice was the exception (she became super-strong after the infection), she beat up a lot of people, the world went to pieces, and then her powers were taken away. The opening credits are a slow-motion montage in reverse, of the attack on the cargo ship in the last movie. Some statistics: Resident Evil: Retribution is the fifth movie of the series that is based loosely on the Capcom game, the second one to be shot in 3D, the fifth movie that Paul W S Anderson has written, the third that he has directed - all this in a decade and a half.
And Resident Evil has its share of fanatic enthusiasts, who are responsible for the staggering $700 million (almost) that the makers have managed to rake in so far. The great thing about franchises (besides the numerous sequels that can be spawned) is the fan following.
