What to Know

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.

Marc Savlov 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 Sep 21, 2012 Full Review Rafer Guzman Newsday The script is incoherent and the acting is terrible -- avatars would have been an improvement. Rated: 1/4 Sep 17, 2012 Full Review Joe Neumaier New York Daily News Thuddingly awful. Rated: 1/5 Sep 17, 2012 Full Review Brian Eggert 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 Sep 27, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie 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 Dec 2, 2020 Full Review David Hogan hoganreviews.co.uk 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.... Rated: 2/5 Oct 31, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Samuel S Well done. Afterlife is still the best out of the series. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/11/25 Full Review Pete D This movie is pure Resi Evil. It's never going to win an Oscar. Some reviews say "Worst movie ever seen" which presumably means they have only seen a few movies. Like Bond films, we know the main character will normally survive everything thrown at them. It's an action film, futuristic, tick boxes action clips and sound. What I really liked was the minimal CGI usage. Remember, Critics hate for a living. I enjoyed this Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/02/25 Full Review Katelyn O Genuinely one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It's so bad it made me do my first ever written review. I couldn't recommend it less Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/27/25 Full Review Pedro Henrique C Resident Evil: Retribution has a really cool scene in the white hallway with the zombies, but the rest of the movie is nothing new. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/27/25 Full Review Guilherme F 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 03/02/25 Full Review thiago s 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
