New Resi film retitled as Re5ident Evil: Retribution photo

In its divine wisdom, Screen Gems has decided that it's not enough to give the world yet another Resident Evil movie by Paul W.S. Anderson, but that we would all be better off with a title that captures the true dynamic essence of a fifth entry in a quality series: Re5ident Evil: Retribution.

According to an interview on Collider.com, the new film will feature Las Plagas because that way the infected can "run around, ride motorbikes, and shoot machine guns." Leon Kennedy, Ada Wong, and Barry Burton will make an appearance due to popular request, and they are lifting some driving/turret sequence out of Resident Evil 5.

Expect more 3D metal objects to fly into your face on September 14, 2012, and check out the plot synopsis below if you dare.

Synopsis For ‘Re5ident Evil: Retribution’ Revealed [Latino Review] [Image]

The wildly successful film franchise adaptation that has grossed nearly $700 million worldwide to the  popular video game series, Resident Evil, returns in its highly anticipated fifth installment, RE5IDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION in state-of-the art 3D.

The Umbrella Corporation’s deadly T-virus continues to ravage the Earth, transforming the global population into legions of the flesh eating Undead. The human race’s last and only hope, ALICE (Milla Jovovich), awakens in the heart of Umbrella’s most clandestine operations facility and unveils more of her mysterious past as she delves further into the complex. Without a safe haven, Alice continues to hunt those responsible for the outbreak; a chase that takes her from Tokyo to New York, Washington, D.C. and Moscow, culminating in a mind-blowing revelation that will force her to rethink everything that she once thought to be true. Aided by newfound allies and familiar friends, Alice must fight to survive long enough to escape a hostile world on the brink of oblivion. The countdown has begun.

These are always like overblown, big-budget pieces of fan-fiction for the series, and thus, I enjoy them as such. They're entertaining and a nice way to spend 90 minutes, so I look forward to seeing this one. :)

I enjoyed the first four. At least they're not masquerading as something they're not; b-movie guilty pleasures.

Lol, I've never seen any of these films past 2 but I can understand why their still going and banking $$$

These films set a simple goal of mindless action and they accomplish it quite brilliantly I hear, that and all the fan service they seem to being doing probably helps them keep that dedicated audience of both fans or resident evil and fans of these type of action movies in general.

The number forced into a title where it doesn't belong will be the most video-gamey thing about this movie based on a video game.

Oh, I get it. The 5 is like the S, but it's also a 5. Hollywood is just so god damned clever it makes me want to shit myself.

After the god awful mess that was the 4th movie, I can safely say I'll never watch another one ever again. 1-3 were fine, but 4 just absolutely killed my faith in the film series.

Ugh. Tried to suspend everything I knew about the games and watch the first one to give it a fair shake.

Just. Awful.

Although most people hated it I surprisingly enjoyed the first film. Maybe it was because I was expecting it to be terrible, but I found it enjoyable. It didn't feel like Resident Evil, but I'm okay with that.

I watched the second film and wasn't too wowed by it. It was mainly just mediocre jokes and action scenes, it wasn't bad, but it was nothing special so I haven't seen anything after that.

I dunno. I generally love terrible action movies, and I think the RE movies are just plain bad. Horrible pacing, overproduced, terrible action choreography. They're shit, but they're trying not to be. It's like watching 3 kids in a giant coat trying to act like an adult.

Degeneration was just flatout boring in every way.

Idk which has killed this series worse, Hollywood or Crapcom. I think they should just reboot both and make them actually scary. I just don't understand how they went from survival horror to a mediocre 3rd person shooter at best.

I would care about RE movies hurting the games if RE stories were good in the first place.

They never are and, hell, most of the movies were better than RE5's story easily.

Now if you'll excuse me, I must go punch a boulder.

I don't why but the plot is almost identical to the 4th movie. That's what happens when it's vague.

so how do you pronounce it, re-five-ident evil retribution. Just kidding if people think I'm serious, but really I never understood puting the number into the god damn name.

The first two I though of as "good". The third one I loved for it's "alternate route" after Raccoon City (world ending instead of world moving on), but the 4th one was so shitty... it was boring, the zombies did not appear enough and the humans (who had more than half the movie to themselves, "zombie-free") were not interesting enough.

I really enjoy these movies. The new one has a new dumb title, but I'll probably still give it a watch.

I've never watched one of these and been upset afterwards. They are not trying to win any awards, they are just putting a hot lady around zombies with lots of weapons, and for a shorty while some psi powers.

Overall highly enjoyable popcorn movies.

Oh, good. They're dragging Leon and Ada into this pile of crap now. Y'know if I really wanted this kind of thing, I'd just search fanfiction.net for some shitty Mary Sue alternate universe fiction.

Also, Re5ident Evil? Really? You couldn't just use the V in "Evil"? Are we all too stupid to get Roman numerals now?

Hey, at least a video game movie adaptation has been making enough scratch to make four sequels. That's pretty fantastic.

"Let's complain about a letter in a title of a movie that's supposed to just be a fun zombie killing movie!"

Also, it's not like the games didn't have ridiculous plots, let's be serious.

I'm gonna go see the movie, dealwithit.jpeg, now I'm gonna go play some video games

I feel like they should take a cue from the games, and change up the protagonist once in a while.
