So, it literally took my Library 4 f*cking years to get this on DVD! They don't have a problem ordering the most obscure titles on the planet, but they can't order this when the DVD first comes out? For the longest time, whenever I checked my Library's New Releases, this was at the top of my list because I wanted to finish the series up to that point. After awhile, I just stopped caring and forgot all about this movie. Now, with that said, the reason why I wanted to see Resident Evil: Retribution so bad was because of the trailer and the fact that they were hyping up characters that were long gone, returning once again. Fast forward to tonight. I was completely and totally confused by what I was watching. I haven't seen any of the other Resident Evil flicks in ages and I remember zero. Even with the "previously...." opening montage to get people caught up to everything that has happened in the films, I was still lost. I know that Alice is in a virtual simulation underground and is fighting to get out with the help of said characters from previous installments. What is unclear (or I just never caught a good enough explanation) was whether the events we have witnesses never happened or not. Anyway, there are some really cool Set Pieces and Special FX, but the story is just meh. It's basically Escape from New York, Escape from Moscow and Escape from D.C. Can't recommend this.
