Resident Evil: Retribution trailer craps all over itself

Hamza CTZ Aziz, Director of Communications
6:00 PM on 06.14.2012


I really loved the first Resident Evil movie. It was a self-contained story set within the universe that didn't mess with the main story arc. I even liked Apocalypse, even though they messed a little with the main story. I forgave it though, largely because Nemesis was pretty badass, and the actress that played Jill Valentine was gorgeous.

Then Extinction and Afterlife happened, and it was at that point I stopped considering them Resident Evil movies, and enjoyed them as regular zombie flicks. Now, we have the "final" installment with Resident Evil: Retribution, which looks like a giant mess that's crapping all over the story they created. 

Based on the debut trailer here, it looks like none of the past Resident Evils movies happened, it was all in Alice's head. Characters that you thought died in the first movie are well and alive, the world didn't actually end, and they're trying to bring back spinning hubcaps (2:07). On the plus side, Jill is back in her brainwashed form as seen in Resident Evil 5, and Leon and Ada are finally introduced to the movie franchise. Interestingly, Chris and Claire Redfield are nowhere to be seen in the trailer.

So there you go, another freaking Resident Evil movie. And guess what? It's going to pull in a ton of money. The films have made over $675 million worldwide, with the last movie alone pulling in $296 million alone.

Always with the throwing stuff at the screen shit.
solidturtleman
I can only imagine what it would be like if this happened to one of my favorite franchises... oh wait...

Fuck.
RenegadePanda
Oh, good, another 'THROW STUFF AT THE CAMERA ALL THE TIME BECAUSE OTHERWISE THEY WON'T KNOW IT'S 3D' movie.

This looks slightly more tolerable than the last one at least.
Gaidenrider
@Hamza:

It's a prequel. People haven't died yet, the world hasn't ended yet.
Gaidenrider
@Hamza and Myself:

I take it back. I don't know why I was under the impression it was a prequel.
Syn
Who the hell was that playing Leon???
NikSG
what bothers me most is all the "Of course this looks bad, it's based on a videogames"
dunnace
I really enjoyed the last one. Not for the reasons I was supposed to, but man I had fun.
Sir Tobbii
"I really loved the first Resident Evil movie. It was a self contained story set within the universe that didn't mess with the main story arc"

...Yes it did.
jodaniel3
at 1:51 is that Jaime Lannister as Leon?
El-Sveppi
That's a bit more bluntly put than my headline on it, but accurate non-the-less.
Grimspoon
Bring back spinning hubcaps? Were they ever gone?

I like em.
Germaximus
Thats funny cuz i totally hated the first 2 movies but i loved 3 and 4 and this one looks awesome.

Originally i didnt like the first movie cuz the game was so much better story wise. Second movie same thing for me. Then i finally accepted for it was and just went for the entertainment. 4 was my favorite one so far.
NoTheMama
So so bad....struggling to find the words to describe how shit this looks. But it looks like the games & movies are on the same page now, so there's that I guess.....
When does ZombieU come out? Lol
Hamza CTZ Aziz
@Sir Tobbii: It did and it didn't. It all could work in the official cannon, if this was even official cannon.
Aerograt
Wait... If it shows the end of the fourth movie... Um... And Carlos at the beginning...?

What the hell? I have no idea what's going on, now. I assumed the return of Rain meant they cloned her, or something. That's totally lame if the past movies were simulated, or whatever
Handy
On the plus side, we might get to see Michelle Rodriguez die again.
El Conrado
"Characters that you thought died in the first movie are well and alive..."

They are all clones.

I'm not even kidding.
Bufflkill
Leon looks like such a wanker.
free touch
I thought the last one was terribad... I mean, shit like Claire wall jumping over the giant, sliding what seemed to be 50 yards on her knees, and even though they didn't cut the scene, the giant was no were near the wall, and 3-4 of them holding their breath underwater for close to 10 minutes while trying to get to the lower floor...
Arttemis
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no. That's my reaction to the movie. There would be one more now, but Michelle Rodriguez is in it, but I won't spend my money for this.

I also liked the first movie, probably because of its stand-alone, hardly interfering nature, and think the campiness of the second is bearable in the same way Mortal Kombat is (though to a lesser degree).

What the fuck happened after that? The same goes with the Resident Evil game plot once it got to Code Veronica. Guess they jumped the sharks together.
petipas1414
Have always enjoyed these movies.

That being said, they certainly aren't the most intricate movies...
darknil
I think I'll watch it just to see the cosplay of Ada and Jill Valentine.

I hate myself.
Laharl Krichevskoy
Apocalypse was the worst, Nemesis sacrificed himself to save the woman he loved...

Let that sink in for a second... one more second...

And now you are brain damaged, Congratulation, Now you will be line for 3D IMAX tickets of RE5IDENT EVIL

I've hated all of the Resident Evil films. And it's not even the fact that they are nothing like the games that annoys me. It's just the fact that they are terrible films with ridiculous plots, terrible acting and some of the worst action sequences in modern cinema. Seriously I want this film series to die. I'm totally pumped for Resi 6 though.
TheNopeMan
Why the fuck do people pay for these movies? WHY!?

Don't these fucking retarded consumers know that they are encouraging these fucktarded filmmakers that make these retard movies.

And you keep on seeing these shitty movies in fucking 3D. Let the gimmick die already! Let fucking videogame movies die already! Black list every fucking body who appears in these Resident Evil movies.

They never fucking stop*starts crying* with these shittastic movies, and the crappy format. People never take the time to make movies actually look good in 3D, like Avatar.

*sniffle*

You sheeps keep throwing your hard earned money at them. Don't spend your money on these crappy shits. If you must see them, please *cough* pirate them.

I think the trailer gave me cancer.
Kyousuke Nanbu
You know I used to hate these movies, they just didn't fit with the games.

But now? I don't give a shit, Capcom has fucked up the franchise a lot more than these movies ever will, if Paul Anderson wants to keep sticking his wife as an all powerful mary sue, fuck it, I don't have to watch it.
Scuffles
But dawg its in teh three Deeez

..... Which theaters are starting to charge more for normal tickets to subsidize..... which in turn has me going to fewer movies than ever :P

Not that I have bothered with seeing any of the rez evil movies in theaters and the first one was a pre-screening so I'm not even sure that "counts".

The whole cliche zombies in the graveyard in the second movie relegated the remainder to DVD rentals at best. So they can't really disappoint me because I'm not expecting ANYTHING :P
Scuffles
^^^ since the second movie
Zantetsuken
Still looks like this will be more "RE" than RE6.
Los255
Good lord. Capcom can't be serious.
Icehearted
Fun Fact: Most of the people I know that have seen these movies enjoy it. None of those people have any idea about the games.
TheNopeMan
@Los255: ahh, you again.
Blank X47
i'd rather stuff a live hamster up my ass then acknowledge that these are resident evil movies.
TheNephilym
I agree with Qreg;however, I don't feel he made it clear enough and feel the point should be further emphasized:

And now I see how big that post is and feel like a complete asshole. Sorry my fellow bum ruffians!

I still uphold my stance that these movies should be treated as hilarious fan-fiction with awesome special effects and action sequences. Seriously, that last one was more entertaining than most action flicks these days. Bring on Retribution!

I refuse to aknowledge any of these as Resident Evil movies. Or as movies, really. I don't understand how they messed up so bad.
AceFlibble
Yay! They're dumb and they've finally recognised it. They clearly didn't give a shit when making this, they just threw everything they had at it. Half those characters died in previous films! This looks brilliant. Total shit, but brilliant total shit. Turn your brain off, grab some snacks and a beer and you'll probably have a good time.

That's pretty much how I look at them.

Here's a game. Hold two screenshots from Resident Evil and Underworld and have friends guess which is which.

I hope Milla makes a comedy after this...I think she has the comedic timing to pull it off and I'm not joking, I truly believe that

Ok, I think I'm alone in this, again: I hate the first movie in spite of having both Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez. The second movie movie was one of the best action movies I've ever seen in spite of having Nemesis. The third movie helped me sleep like a baby.

I haven't watched the fourth though.

Everyone step back, take a deep breath and remind yourself that these movies in no way affect the experiences you had with the games.

They should have just Named it Resident Evil 6 : The movie...
Wait next they are gonna tell us that Alice was actually Sherry Birkin all along...

If they make that Mass Effect movie Michelle Rodriguez would play Jack.

If they made a Zelda movie Michelle Rodriguez would be the Water Temple.
