'Resident Evil: Retribution' shows no signs of letting up

Alice (Milla Jovovich) continues her battle against the shadowy Umbrella Corporation in the fifth instalment of the horror franchise.

Written and directed by Paul WS Anderson, and based on the hugely popular and bloodthirsty Capcom video game series, at the conclusion of Resident Evil: Afterlife, Alice found herself on board a spaceship, repelling hordes of heavily armed Umbrella soldiers.

The vessel explodes and Alice plummets into icy waters below, waking some time later as a prisoner in a subterranean facility. Ada Wong (Bingbing Li), the right-hand woman of Albert Wesker (Shawn Roberts), helps Alice to escape her confinement and it transpires that an artificial intelligence called the Red Queen has usurped Wesker as head honcho of the corporation and is already amassing forces to eradicate mankind.

The only hope is for Alice, Ada and a team of soldiers led by Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory) and Rain (Michelle Rodriguez) to battle through the facility, shut down the Red Queen and stop the spread of the T-virus once and for all.
