Critics Consensus

Resident Evil: Retribution offers everything one might reasonably expect from the fifth installment in a heavily action-dependent franchise -- which means very little beyond stylishly hollow CGI-enhanced set pieces.

Austin Chronicle

Nobody goes to a Resident Evil movie expecting a classic but this fifth entry in the series is just plain cruddy.

Rated: 2/5

Newsday

The script is incoherent and the acting is terrible -- avatars would have been an improvement.

Deep Focus Review

The degree to which this fast-food movie and its predecessors are completely forgettable is counteracted by Anderson’s usual clip-show recaps at the beginning of each new sequel.

Rated: 1/4

Gone With The Twins

To make up for the utter lake of sensibility, the film incorporates lots of spontaneous action, sudden crashes or explosions or gunfire, and hyperactive zombies.

Rated: 1/10

I was starting to sort of like these films, in a silly way, but this was so empty, filled with so many long scenes of characters just shooting machine guns at each other....

Resident Evil: Retribution has a really cool scene in the white hallway with the zombies, but the rest of the movie is nothing new.

MAIS UM DOS FILMES DESSA SERIE, ELE É UM POUQUINHO MELHOR QUE 0 QUARTO, POR QUE ELE TRAZ A ADA, LEON E MAIS ALGUNS DOS PERSONAGENS DA FRANQUIA DOS JOGOS, APESAR DE NÃO SER AQUILO QUE QUERIAMOS, MAIS PRESTA.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Filme bacaninha, o roteiro é bacana, o filme ainda tem cenas de terror e ação bacanas, a história continua não sendo tão boa, fizeram voltar com a Michelle Rodrigue, que morreu no primeiro filme, já não fez sentido, esse filme também traz leon e ada e faz uma cena que faz referência ao jogo resident evil 4 quando leon encontra no jogo pela primeira vez, no filme mostra a mesma coisa só troca o leon pela Alice, e até o colocaram no filme o parasita las plagas e depois não teve nada demais.

🍀 4.2/10 I approve of Johann Urb as Leon. I wish he got a little more development or something else to do, because I thought he was actually pretty good as him. but they didn’t need to add that scene with him and Ada my bro Leon ain’t no playa. Another generic mediocre but albeit fun entry into the resident evil franchise.

This franchise has run out of ideas but the most aggravating part is the movement of the monsters. The camera makes them move so fast that you can't process what they are doing. It's like sitting in the front row with the screen right in your face. Only super hot Milla Jovovich moved this to one star.
