Resident Evil: Retribution (DVD)

This is one of the most previous of all the Resident Evil movies and probably the coolest and most stylish for its action quality. I like this episode because unlike all the other movies, even though I think they are all totally cool (particularly the second one) almost every single scene that takes place in this is all totally cool, action packaged and well-thought for a resident evil movie. Its true that in the other movies, mankind stands some chance at survival but now, in this one 'Resident Evil: Retribution' nearly all of mankind if not the whole thing is wiped out my the zombies and all of Umbrella corp's abominations in general, the whole world has been turned into a zombie and monster infested hell hole and the whole planet's situation and understanding in general is all about Umbrella Corp and its research program to create the ultimate abomination (and for god knows what reason, which I think is at the same time crazy but thats also what makes it so cool in terms of its awesome quality in a zombie slaying action.) In this episode of Resident Evil, the main character played by Milla Jovovich has to team up with some elite commandos, infiltrate one of Umbrella Corp's main company plants, undermine and take down its powerful, armed corporate forces and kill of a whole legion of gruesome monsters in doing so, all guns blazing throughout! Totally Awesome! Because Im such a fan of resident evil, anything to do with monster slaying action and this movie was so cool, I give this full marks and would recommend it to anyone who likes the same movie or games action genre.

I was a little put off this film because of some of the reviews on here but i bought it anyway as i have seen, and own all the other Resident Evil films. I have just finished watching it and had to come straight on to leave a review because i thought it was amazing! Like people have said, it is full of action from word go. I thought i might not like that as i am not the worlds biggest fan of action films. This however was super cool. I note that someone said there is nothing to explain what happened to characters from past films. It does explain, in its own way granted. Yes most arent in it from the previous film, but does anyone really care? I wasnt bothered as i personally found the previous film really poor. That was my least favourite film of them all. Other characters from the first and second film are back in, not in ways you would expect. I think some viewers might not get the film and its format and thats probably why they left confusing (to me) reviews, saying that the film was terrible, didnt have a plot etc. Dont be put off by other reviews. Everyone has their own opinion so i say watch it and make your own mind up. I wish i had seen this at the cinema, it would have been unreal! 5 STARS

I know this may be saying more to some than to others but this fifth outing is the best by far! It just made me fall in love with the franchise even more. I think we all know that the hate for these movie matches/exceeds the love for them. I'm a long-time fan of these films but even I felt that this iteration was a breath of fresh air and takes the franchise into places the audience has never been before. Paul W.S Anderson may not be the best writer in the world, but when watching Retribution I really felt it was clear that he had thought this chapter through and knew where he wanted to go with it. With breathtaking action sequences, further character development on the central character, good acting (mostly, some a little wooden), clever in places, great 3D and the best story line to date, this is definitely one to watch. Number six here we come! If I could give it more stars I would. UPDATE: £6.00! What a bargain! Especially considering these DVD's are usually at least £10 when first released. Thanks Amazon :)

I've always enjoyed the Resident Evil movie series, they're fun, exciting and a good blend of action and horror but this new entry is the first one that really made me think "wow!". From the highly impressive, reverse-slow motion, opening scene it was literally non-stop action until the closing moments. Lots of the old characters from the previous films return as well as some new appearances of Barry Burton, Ada Wong and Leon S Kennedy (finally!). There's some subtle nods and references to the games as well which fans like myself will appreciate. The visual effects are some of the best in the series and I particularly liked how it revisited old locations from the last few films. The story can be a little too straight-forward and doesn't involve too much thought (do any of these films, in all honesty?!) so is just a highly enjoyable watch from start to finish. I highly recommend this film (I watched it again the next day after watching it the first time - something I very rarely do) but I would suggest watching the first four beforehand.

This is the fifth Resident Evil film and now represents what has to be, by far, the most succesful video game franchise of all time. The story line itself is running a bit thin now, seemingly regurgitating old characters and plots in a blaze of digital technology (Milla Jovovich still looks pretty fine though). At best an average movie but okay for mindless popcorn entertainment and to be honest, what else would you expect from a film in the Resident Evil franchise? What makes this movie really stand out is the quality of the blu-ray transfer. the 1080p resolution picture is absolutely mind blowing in it's quality, even in the modern field of great transfers this is up near the front. Everything is crisp and well defined down to the smallest facial feature with perfectly reproduced blacks and flesh tones. The audio uses a DTS-HD 5.1 lossless soundtrack which, as expected for an action movie, makes full use of all available channels. Although at times loud, everything is defined with crystal clear clarity. Overall an average movie with a pretty much flawless reference quality audio and visual experience.

Bought it to watch

Excellent, delivered quick and in great order

La penúltima película de la saga completa, profundiza bastante en los orígenes.

Cette suite est tout simplement explosive . On en prend plein les mirettes et pleins les yeux. La 3d est tout simplement époustouflante, immersive et impressionnante. Bien plus qu'au cinéma ! Maintenant il y a un mais......en effet , étant un grand fan des jeux comme des films , je dois avouer que je m'attendais a ce que l'histoire avance quand même un peu plus. Effectivement , après avoir visionné le film on se rend compte que ce film en plus d'être une démo technique impressionnante , a juste pour but de nous faire patienter pour le final qui s'annonce......magnifique. Le film tourne En Rond .....mais se laisse tout de même regarder et apprécier. A consommer sans modération. Les acteurs sont toujours aussi intéressant,surtout Alice, et les nouveaux venu .......bienvenu ! Que l'on aime ou pas , ce Resident Evil reste l'un des meilleurs de la série après le premier et afterlife. Vivement la suite , en espérant qu'ils ne nous referons pas le coup du film '' tampon ''.

Bel prodotto, ottimo film! Il film parla da solo, per i fan della saga è imperdibile. Finalmente hanno fatto tutta la serie in steelbook con la stessa logica, in modo che ad averli tutti vicini fanno la loro porca figura. Peccato per l'interno senza un foglietto o delle stampe, sarebbe stato il massimo!

estupenda, una edicion espectacular, adoro el genero y esta serie mas por sobre otras. la recomiendo ampliamente. comprenla.no se arrepentiran

Kommen wir zum Film darüber gibt es eigendlich nichts zu meckern er reiht sich gut in seine 4 Vorgänger ein, auch wenn die Meinungen hierzu sehr auseinander gehen ,- entweder man liebt ihn oder man hasst ihm ;-) Das Bild der vorliegenden BluRay ist sehr detailreich und Schwarzwert sowie Schärfe ausgezeichnet, der Ton ist für einen Action/Horror Film erste Sahne auch der Subwoofer Bereich ist immer gut bedient, schade das Constantin ihre BluRay nur mit Dts 5.1 High Resulution Sound ausstattet und nicht wie zb. Sony, Studio Canal in Dts-HD Master Audio aber das tut dem Filmgenuss keinen Abbruch Constantin liefert totz allem immer 1a Qualität. Kommen wir zu den Extras der 1. BluRay Die herausgeschnittenen bzw Extended Scenes hätte man meiner Meinung ruhig im Film lassen können da sie für mehr Atmosphäre sorgen und in keiner Form störend sind. Das Resident Evil Special ist sehr informativ und bietet einen guten Einblick in den Film und die Hintergründe Die Outakes laden zum ein oder anderem Schmunzler ein mehr aber auch nicht Dazu gesellen sich noch unterschiedlichste Trailer des Filmes So nun zu BluRay Nr.2 Die Project Alice Datenbank bietet eine Übersicht über die meisten Figuren und des meist mehr oder weniger Untote Gesindel in Form von Texttafeln und ich nenne es mal Highlight Clips der gesammten 5 Resident Evil Teile in denen die Figuren oder Monster auftreten, sehr informativ wenn auch nicht tiefgreifend im Bezug auf die Fakten. Das Making of und der Blick hinter die Kulissen sind interessant haben aber keinen Tiefgang sondern nur Werbefunktion. Die Interviews sind mehr oder weniger interessant das sie im bezug auf einige Darsteller zu kurz ausgefallen sin (Das heist meist nur ein Statement) Die Rache der Untoten ist ein kurzer Bliuck in die Maske wo die einzeln Make Ups der Zombies in den unterschiedlichen Locations (Tokjo, Moskau, Suburbia) kurz erklärt werden. Und zu guter letzt das Featurette "Vom Fan zum Zombie" ist ein kurzes Video über eine Gewinnerin einer Statistenrolle in Form eines Zombies. Die Verpackung ist wie Teil 4 sehr gut gemacht und das FSK Logo befindet sich wie bei Teil 4 auf einen seperaten Pappschuber, als Sammlerstück trotzdem ein Blickfang Alles in allem Fans können blind zuschlagen, Horrorfans sollten zumindest mal nen Blick riskieren. Noch zur Info die Rezession bezieht sich auf die 2D Version des Filmes da ich kein 3D Equipment besitze.
