Resident Evil: Retribution
In my humble opinion this is the best movie of the five that are out now. It has some of the most well known game characters in it and they've poured a cornucopia of our favorite bad guys into the mix. There are some reviewers who say there is no story arc that connects all the movies but that is why I say leave reviewing game movies to the people who actually know the game. I realize the movie is a different entity than the game, but most game-to-movie movies have a basis in the games. And that's what Resident Evil has, even though they added Alice to the mix making it even more bad ass... it is still a battle against Umbrella Corp. and hordes of undead and mutations. To prove my point I will give a brief synopsis that doesn't give anything away for those who haven't seen it. The first movie began the chain of events leading to the zombie apocalypse, then they skip ahead several months to Raccoon City (game reference) where the outbreak has begun. After that they skip ahead several years (like they do in the games) to a post zombie apocalypse world where zombies won out and Umbrella is still Nefarious. Resident Evil: Afterlife skips ahead another several months or years and shows what the Umbrella Corps. experiments have turned the zombies into with the flower mouths. And finally Resident Evil: Retribution picks up where 4 left off, on the ship... but you know they were going to do that from the final scene in 4 with Evil Jill rallying her troops. So basically reviewers out there, if you don't have a basic understanding of the game series and it's use of time skipping, you shouldn't pretend you can give an accurate review of the movie.
