At this point, the Resident Evil continuity from film to film seems to pick up mere seconds after the previous movie ends, and in the case of this latest effort, Resident Evil: Retribution, it's a movie that seems to exist entirely as a phrase between two commas, a resolution of one cliffhanger, a ton of empty exposition, and another cliffhanger for the inevitable "Resident Evil: Boss Fight" or whatever the hell they'll call the next one.

If you haven't been keeping up with the films, the opening of this one will be a case of a prolonged image that looks "cool" but that is utterly baffling on any sort of storytelling level.


Despite of the cliffhangers, this is still one of my favorite movies.
