Written and directed by Anderson,
Retribution

The film was released in 2D,
3D

to box-office success, grossing over $240 million worldwide, but received generally negative reviews from critics, who criticized the characters, plot and acting, while praising the 3D, visual effects and
fight choreography
. The
DVD
and
Blu-ray
for the film was released on December 21, 2012, in the U.S. A sixth film,
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter
, was released in 2016.
Plot
[
edit
]
Alice
and the survivors on board the Umbrella Corporation freighter
Arcadia
are attacked by a fleet of Umbrella gunships led by Alice's brainwashed former ally,
Jill Valentine
; Alice is captured during the attack. An Alice clone awakens in the suburbs, living with her husband, Todd, and their deaf daughter, Becky. Zombies attack, revealing the suburbia as Raccoon City during the initial outbreak.
[a]
As Alice and Becky drive away from the undead with the help of
Rain Ocampo
, they are hit by a truck, knocking Rain unconscious. Alice hides Becky inside another house but is killed by a zombified Todd.
Meanwhile, the captured Alice awakens in an underwater facility and is interrogated by Jill. During a power failure, Alice escapes, rearms, and finds herself in a simulation of
Shibuya Square, Tokyo
. Fighting her way against zombies, she enters a control room filled with dead Umbrella employees and encounters
Ada Wong
, one of
Albert Wesker
's top agents.
Wesker appears on a screen, explaining that both no longer serve Umbrella, and the power outage was staged by him. The
Red Queen
, one of Alice's arch-enemies, was reactivated after the Hive was contaminated
[b]
and now controls Umbrella. The underwater facility, formerly a Soviet naval outpost in
Kamchatka, Russia
, was designed by Umbrella for manufacturing clones and creating simulated outbreaks to show the effect of the
T-virus
. Ada and Alice aim to rendezvous with a rescue crew organized by Wesker, which includes
Leon S. Kennedy
,
Barry Burton
, and Luther West. Leon's team plants explosives near the entrance of the facility, which will detonate in two hours to ensure its destruction. The group plans to meet with Alice and Ada in the Raccoon City suburbia area. In a
New York
simulation, Alice and Ada defeat two Executioners; Leon's team enters a
Moscow
simulation but is surrounded by an armed
Las Plagas
undead horde.
In the suburban simulation, Alice and Ada encounter Becky, who mistakes Alice for her clone mother and becomes attached to her. They also find Jill and the clones of Alice's deceased allies:
James "One" Shade
, Rain Ocampo, and
Carlos Oliveira
, who are sent to capture them. During a shootout, Ada stays behind so Alice and Becky can find their way out. The two encounter a "good" clone of Rain in the Moscow simulation. Alice gives her a weapon to help keep Becky safe. She then rescues Leon's surviving crew from the Las Plagas zombies and a giant
Licker
. The group reaches the submarine pens in the facility exit, but are ambushed by Jill's team.
During the ensuing fight, Becky is captured by the Licker, and "good" Rain is killed. Alice rescues Becky and kills the Licker. Barry sacrifices himself holding the Umbrella operatives off long enough to ensure the others' escape. The explosives at the entrance go off: Leon and Luther escape flooding, while Alice and Becky survive through the ventilation system.
On the surface, their snowmobile is knocked over by Jill's
submarine
. Jill and "evil" Rain confront the group, holding Ada as a hostage. During the fight, Alice manages to tear the mind-controlling scarab off Jill's chest, returning her to normal. Meanwhile, Rain?now enhanced with superhuman strength and healing, thanks to the Las Plagas parasite?joins the fight, kills Luther, and knocks out Leon. Realizing she is too powerful to fight, Alice shoots the ice under Rain, who is dragged underwater by swimming zombies.
Alice, Jill, and the remaining survivors travel to Wesker's headquarters, a heavily fortified
White House
, staffed by the remainders of the
U.S. Armed Forces
. Alice meets Wesker in the
Oval Office
, where he injects her with another strand of the T-virus, returning her superhuman abilities. On the roof, he explains that the Red Queen is trying to wipe out humanity; all of the remaining uninfected humans are in the base. The U.S. Military and remaining Umbrella Corp. soldiers start defending the White House against hordes of T-virus abominations.

Development
[
edit
]
After the release of
Resident Evil: Afterlife
, director Paul W. S. Anderson was in discussion with Screen Gems of filming the fifth and sixth film
back to back
. But Anderson later decided to just focus on
Resident Evil: Retribution
.
[4]
Anderson returned as writer and director,
Glen McPherson
serves as director of photography, Kevin Phipps as
production designer
[5]
and Nick Powell as both a fight choreographer and second-unit director.
[4]
Influences
[
edit
]
When Ada and Alice encounter each other the first time, they recreate a scene from the game
Resident Evil 4
in their brief fight. Another element they featured was
Las Plagas parasite
. Las Plagas plays a part in the film and allows the undead to "run around, ride motorbikes, and shoot machine guns."
[8]
An action scene inspired by
Resident Evil 5
, where the characters are driving a
Hummer
while being chased by zombies, is featured, but for the film the Hummer was changed to a
Rolls-Royce Phantom
.
[8]
The metal bug on Jill Valentine's chest can also be seen in
Resident Evil 5
.
Aside from the video games, writing for the film was heavily influenced by science-fiction films. "I think
Inception
had a huge impact on everyone," says Bolt, "and I think
Westworld
is an important film to Paul. Everybody knows, because he talks about it enough, the
Alien
series
,
Blade Runner
, all these things are inspirations."
Makeup effects supervisor Paul Jones stated that he wanted the makeup on the zombies to look realistic. He took inspiration from
Day of the Dead
.
[9]
The film's fight sequences were influenced by
Asian cinema
. "We watched a lot of
Thai
movies this time around because of the movies (Powell) has done," says Anderson. "He did
The Last Samurai
as well. He has worked with a lot of Japanese stuntmen and he has worked with a lot of
Hong Kong
stuntmen. But we felt the area that hadn't been mined by western cinema much was that whole kind of high impact Thai style of fighting. So we just watched a lot of action sequences from a lot of Thai movies. There were moves and just a general feel that we thought we could infuse the movie with. You know, that kind of bone crunch where you really feel the impact. We tried to bring that into the movie, which is also good for 3D because obviously 3D makes it harder to sell those kind of fake phony punches because you see the distance between the fist and the face. So that kind of Thai style of fighting where you actually make contact is a lot stronger."

Filming
[
edit
]
Principal photography
started on October 10 and wrapped on December 23, 2011, for a 55-day shoot.
[5]
[8]
[19]
Filming locations included
Toronto
at Cinespace's
Kipling
studio facility,
[5]
Times Square
in New York City, Tokyo and
Red Square
in Moscow.
[20]
Resident Evil: Retribution
is the second film in the series to be shot in 3D, the first being
Resident Evil: Afterlife
. It was also filmed in
4K resolution
.
[21]
The
Red Epic
camera system was used, which producer
Jeremy Bolt
said is 50% smaller than the Sony F35 that was used for
Resident Evil: Afterlife
.
[22]
On October 11, a platform collapsed during the second day of filming and injured 16 people on the set. According to
Toronto police
, ten people were taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. Injuries included bruises and broken bones. Emergency workers had a difficult time determining which injuries were real, since the people were dressed in zombie costumes with fake blood.
[23]
The streets of Red Square were cleared for a day and background filming was done in the Russian subway after it was cleared for five hours (although the subway station scene is actually the Lower Bay abandoned station of Toronto subway). Most of the streets were built into sets.
[16]
The car chase scene was filmed in late November in Moscow.
[16]
[24]
Durand and Roberts wrapped filming in the first week of December and Li wrapped on December 14. A fight scene between Jill and Alice that involved over 200 moves began filming December 14 until the end of production.
[16]
[25]
Music
[
edit
]
The music group
Tomandandy
, who performed the
Afterlife
score, returned to score
Resident Evil: Retribution
. Anderson explained that the score for the film is a progression of
Afterlife
'
s, stating that he "wants to kind of mesh their more electronic stuff with an orchestra this time. It still has that cool Tomandandy feel, but it has a more epic scope to it."
[4]
The official soundtrack was released on September 11, 2012, under
Milan Records
, which included Tomandandy's score for the film, as well as the film's end credits song "Hexes" produced by
Bassnectar
featuring
Chino Moreno
(of the
Deftones
) on vocals.
[26]
Singer
Mika Nakashima
sings the theme song for the Japanese version of the film, "Ashita Sekai ga Owarunara."

The first teaser trailer of the film was attached to
Underworld: Awakening
, an installment from
Resident Evil'
s
rival film series
, and released in January 2012, featuring
product placement
promoting Sony products such as the
Xperia
phone, the
PlayStation Vita
and the
Tablet S
, underscored by narration from
Patrick Stewart
, before transitioning into a post-apocalyptic
Washington, D.C.
, with Alice standing on the roof of the White House,
[28]
[29]
in similar fashion to the promotion for previous installments,
Apocalypse
and
Extinction
.
A viral website, UmbrellaCorporation.net, supposedly informed about Umbrella, reported that it was on a recruitment tour all over the world searching for "great minds to help them advance". On several occasions, a video of Alice (Milla Jovovich) appeared, telling the viewer not to trust Umbrella. At the same time, an actual mobile tour for the film was launched, travelling to
Cancun
,
Barcelona
,
Pozna?
,
Warsaw
and
Rome
. Furthermore, a black, tinted SUV with the Umbrella Corporation symbol and name on its doors and license plate was seen in Atlanta in June.
A second trailer premiered online on June 14, following a live Q&A with Milla Jovovich in New York City and was attached to prints of
That's My Boy
.
[30]
Milla Jovovich
, Michelle Rodriguez, Oded Fehr, Boris Kodjoe, Mika Nakashima and Paul W. S. Anderson appeared at the 2012
San Diego Comic-Con Convention
on Friday, July 13. A discussion for the film took place, and never-before-seen footage debuted.
[31]
On August 10, 2012, a group of 27 people dressed as zombies "invaded" the
Shibuya
shopping district and handed out leaflets to promote the film. The group marched across the crossing in front of the
Shibuya Station
and then moved on to Shibuya's underground shopping area "Shibuchika" and to the "Shibuya Cine Palace".
[32]
Release
[

Resident Evil: Retribution
was released worldwide on September 14, 2012, in

,
IMAX 3D
and 2D.
[6]
The
MPAA
's official rating for the film is R for "sequences of strong violence throughout".
[33]
It was not screened in advance for critics.
[34]
The film's
world premiere
took place in Tokyo,
Japan
(where the film was retitled
Biohazard V: Retribution
) on September 3. Originally, a promotional stunt was planned that involved Jovovich pretending to come out with a gun and shoot "zombies" in the theater. In response to the
Aurora shootings
, Jovovich declined the stunt, commenting that "There's absolutely no way I'm doing anything violent in a movie theater."
[35]
Jovovich, Anderson, and Nakashima appeared at the premiere for a
red carpet event
.
Li Bingbing did not appear at the premiere, raising speculation from reporters that her absence was a demonstration against the escalating dispute between China and Japan over the
Senkaku Islands
. Li's agent Ji Xiang explained that Li had been informed of the premiere two months before but she was too busy in
Beijing
to attend at that time. However, Ji did not deny that politics were involved, saying: "We are in line with our government ? the Diaoyu Islands belong to
China
. Bingbing will be attending movie premieres held in other places across the world and she skipped the Tokyo leg only."

United States and Canada
[

Resident Evil: Retribution
opened at #1 in 3,012 theaters, beating out the 3-D re-release of
Finding Nemo
. During its opening weekend, the film grossed $21,052,227 domestically (an average of $6,989 for each theater), which makes the film the second lowest domestic opening weekend in the series, with the lowest being the original
Resident Evil
($17.7 million), though it sold the fewest tickets. The audience in the opening weekend was 64% male, and 55% were 25 years of age or older. Regular 3D showings accounted for 48% of ticket sales, while IMAX 3D contributed 14% and other large format showings contributed 4%.
[2]
In its second weekend, the film dropped to fifth place behind newcomers
End of Watch
,
Jennifer Lawrence
's
House at the End of the Street
, and
Trouble with the Curve
with $6.7 million on the domestic charts. With a 68% decline from its previous weekend, this makes the worst domestic drop so far for a
Resident Evil
film.
[38]
Its third weekend grossed $2.9 million, making a lighter 55% decrease and putting it into the number eight spot.
[39]
International territories
[
edit
]
Resident Evil: Retribution
broke the series record for the highest worldwide opening with $49.6 million, beating out
Afterlife'
s opening of over $39 million. In its opening weekend, the film was strongest in
Asia
, where it had the best
2012
Hollywood
debut so far in Japan ($11.2 million),
Taiwan
($4.4 million) and
Malaysia
($2 million). Its premiere in
South Korea
($2 million) was underwhelming, where it underperformed to the local film
Masquerade
($7.3 million). It performed well in
Russia
($8.5 million) and
Brazil
($3.1 million), but was disappointing in
Australia
($1.5 million).
[40]
The film retained the number one spot in its second weekend, grossing $30.5 million for a new foreign total of $103.8 million. Its top market was once again Japan, where it eased 27% to $6.3 million. Its new debuts included
Germany
($3.6 million) and
Mexico
($3.5 million).
[41]
In its third weekend, the film dropped to the number two spot behind
Looper
, making $21.1 million. It had its premiere in
France
($2 million),
Italy
($1.4 million), and the United Kingdom ($1.3 million).
[42]
The film broke $200 million in its fourth weekend, notably due to its opening in
Spain
($1.4 million).
[43]
Worldwide, the film grossed $240 million, after the movie opened in China on 17 March. Although this does not match its predecessor's gross of $300 million, it still ranks as the second highest grossing in the series, the highest grossing foreign film in Japan in 2012 (7th overall), and the highest grossing Canadian film of 2012, and second of all time (behind
Afterlife
).

Critical response
[
edit
]
Review aggregator
Rotten Tomatoes
gives the film a score of 28% based on reviews from 74 critics, with an average rating of 4.3/10. The site's critical consensus reads: "
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."
[44]
On
Metacritic
, the film received a weighted average score of 39 out of 100 based on reviews from 17 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".
[45]
CinemaScore
polls reported that the average grade moviegoers gave the film was a "C+" on an A+ to F scale.
[46]
Jim Vejvoda at
IGN
gave the film a six out of ten, saying: "Even with all of its dopey dialogue, wooden characters and 'been there, done that' elements,
Resident Evil: Retribution
is pretty amazing as far as entries in this series go. It certainly feels more like a video game and has a bit more emotion to it than some of the past
Resident Evil
sequels, but if you don't like this series then there's not much here to make you suddenly warm up to it."
[47]
Clark Collis from
Entertainment Weekly
also gave the film a mostly positive review, stating that "writer-director W.S. Anderson's overseeing of the
Resident Evil
zombie franchise has proven to be both lunatically haphazard and dementedly enthusiastic."
[48]
In an interview with film critic Willow Maclay, Scout Tafoya at
RogerEbert.com
said "
Retribution
posits a sort of femininity simulator as the kind of test of the body’s fitness for the wider world, which to me is one of the most fascinating things I’ve seen in a big action movie", while Maclay makes a comparison to
Mamoru Oshii
's anime movie
Angel's Egg
"as a film about a life-giving creature who is drawn in these hollow worlds she traverses", adding:
I've always considered Alice to have a similar projection of ideas in her character, and the motherhood angle in
Retribution
ties all of that together. Alice is not a human woman in the grand scheme of things, but a creation. She is something different, and she bears the weight of this layered immortality of constant reincarnation and re-definition that I think is human when we create families and stories.
