Resident Evil : Retribution (2012) 6/10

Starring : Milla Jovovich, Sienna Guillory, Michelle Rodriguez, Aryana Engineer, Bingbing Li
Director : Paul W S Anderson
Running Time : 96 mins

Alice (Jovovich) finds herself captive in an Umbrella Corporation facility somewhere in Russia and, with the help of ex-Umbrella employee Anna Wong (Li) and a group of anti-Umbrella fanatics, must escape from the facility before it is blown up. Along the way she discovers that clones are being used to test out biological weaponry, and that one of the clones, a girl called Becky (Engineer), believes that Alice is her mother.

This felt far too much like I was just watching someone playing the computer game. Whereas the other movies have had plotlines that felt theatrical, this felt like we were just being drawn through levels of the game and facing the bosses at each level. Fans of the series will enjoy this, but newcomers might find it a bit of a drag.
