Not a Movie, But Exceptional
Resident Evil 4 & 5 (this one is 5) feature the return of the original installment's director Paul W.S. Anderson. This should not confused with Royal Tenenbaums director Wes Anderson, who is a different sort of director.Resident Evil Retribution, though not as much as its predecessor, has pretty much given up on narrative. The Resident Evil movies are about beautiful women, guns, explosions, kung fu fights, car chases and monsters. At all times at least two of these elements are on screen.People change location for no discernible reason. (In the previous installment, the heroine flies a Cesna from rural Alaska to the Los Angeles in a single fade cut. Everyone from special forces, down to regular civilians possess skills like driving big rigs and, of course, kung fu. Fiery explosions caress characters like an ocean spray with no effect. Every punch is met with the clear snap of bone only to have the opponent retaliate with a bone snapping arm bar. Fights happen until it is time for the combat to end, and then one assailant is killed often from something they have easily survived earlier in the fight.Resident Evil: Retribution does, as an aside, tell a story. But it is not a story about any reality we occupy. It is not a story about people. It is not a story about emotions.Resident Evil is a visual art installation that frames beautiful people, military hardware, choreographed fights, vehicles and monsters in a series of aesthetically pleasing images. I think it does this really, really, well.For example: A beautiful woman (Alice) wakes up on the floor of an octagon room with glowing white walls and the red logo of an evil corporation on the glowing floor. Alice is literally dressed in two sheets of thin paper fabric tied together. These two sheets just cover between her legs and are a lot narrower than her hips (which are not large). Other than that she is entirely naked. The dimensions of the room are roughly 30 feet from side to side. The ceiling is perhaps 100 ft high. The viewer the finds out that Alice has been captured by the enemy and this is her interrogation room.In a movie, one could ask "Why is this room made with glowing floors and walls?" "Why is the room bigger than a grain silo?" "Why did they take her clothes?" "Why did the dress her in this paper?" And on and on. But as visual presentation of a beautiful woman, the image is unique, pleasing and coherent in style. As an image, it is a near nude in a distinctive art deco meets Star Trek style.I am sure that whatever Resident Evil: Retribution actually is has a name in the halls of film schools. I don't know that term. I do know that Resident Evil Retribution clearly succeeds in what it attempts to do and is exceptionally focused in executing those aspirations. This presentation is all the reasons that people go to Marvel movies, with all the other movie parts cut for time.Some say this is a bad movie, but it's not a movie. It doesn't even try to be.

I Don't Get These People
I don't get the people who trash these movies. What are they expecting? The RE series has never been about superb storytelling, characterization, and acting. It's about style and excitement! And that's what these movies are: High-octane action movies for guys. Especially their inner 14-year olds.People here spend a lot of time trashing the RE movies, and this movie in particular. Why? It delivers what I've come to expect here. Some awesome action sequences, an interesting (albeit completely nonsensical) storyline, and some really incredible cinematography. What else do you want? I submit that if that's not good enough for you, then you're just watching the wrong kind of movie.Those who trash the story of Resident Evil: Retribution as "the worst of the lot", or whatever, need to go watch something else. It is what it is. I for one think it is excellent!I like how the storylines of the movies continue from movie to movie, which each one ending in a cliffhanger. You never know what the next movie will bring! Yeah, the story is complete garbage. But that's what's enjoyable about it! Invite a few friends, have a beer, put your brain firmly in the "off position", and enjoy!And there's a lot to enjoy here. The awesomeness that is Milla Jovovich cannot be denied. Sure, the character of Alice is weak, and in this movie, she turns into Ripley. But when she's killing zombies with a chain and pistol, it's so awesome I don't care. My brain says, "This sucks." My inner 14-year old says, "THIS IS AWESOME, DUDE!" That's what happens, man. If you want to enjoy it, you just have to surrender to the awesome.The movie has a lot of interesting ideas. I also like that it took a lot of elements from the RE 4 video game, which I loved. Leon Kennedy is here, and so is Ada Wong. They both certainly look the part, although their characterization is actually STRONGER in the video game than in the movie! Here, they're just generic action heroes, but I'm okay with that.Another cool element from RE 4 (the game) was the introduction of the Los Plagues (sp?) virus. A lot of people were confused by the zombie nazi's driving jeeps. But in the context of RE 4, this makes more sense. In that game, a small European village was taken over by the Los Plagues virus. It doesn't turn people into zombies exactly - rather it changes their insides to be like bugs and changes their minds. So they still can operate weapons and such. And some of them were clothed in military style uniforms, same as the game and movie. If you haven't played the game, then this doesn't make so much sense. I thought it was a pretty cool tie-in.Another thing I am really liking about the this movie and also "Afterlife" is the 3D. The 3D in these movies is really well done. Out of all the 3D movies in my collection, those two movies probably have the best 3D of all, and that's really saying something. Again, it just shows how good these movies are when it comes to the cinematography.So the final verdict? Resident Evil: Retribution is awesome! It is my favorite of all the RE movies so far. Those who say it is "the worst" just don't know what they're talking about. They're watching the wrong type of movie, expecting the wrong things. I watch these movies with only a few expectations: Excellent fight choreography, excellent cinematography, and an interesting story (that I don't expect will make sense). This movie delivers on ALL THREE of those. And it sets things up nicely for RE 6.So don't listen to the haters. This is not Oscar-worthy material. It doesn't pretend to be. It is a mindless-junk action movie for the mindless-junk action movie lover's soul! And it totally rocks.Peace!

excelente película 3D
Como película 3D le doy un 10, ya que sin duda alguna tiene el 3D mas potente que he visto nunca, eso sí, si queremos verla como película 2D sera mucho menos espectacular y muchas de las escenas nos pareceran que han sido metidas con calzador simplemente por el hecho de buscar un efecto 3D espectacular.Esta versión es de un único disco, y a pesar de que en su estreno me decepciono un poco con el pasó del tiempo le he cogido más cariño que a ninguna por ser "loquísima" nunca sabes si lo que esta pasando es real o no y te lleva de una localización a otra completamente distinta sin parar haciendote preguntar en todo momento que es lo que estas viendo.Me encanta!

Ottimo
Bel prodotto, ottimo film! Il film parla da solo, per i fan della saga è imperdibile. Finalmente hanno fatto tutta la serie in steelbook con la stessa logica, in modo che ad averli tutti vicini fanno la loro porca figura. Peccato per l'interno senza un foglietto o delle stampe, sarebbe stato il massimo!
