This is the 3rd Nuffnang
Premiere Screening I attended and I must say it’s getting better & better,
but still a little bit off from giving me the feeling of impress.
Anyway back to the focus of this
entry, review for Resident Evil: Retribution 3D. Here’s how the story goes: As continuation of Afterlife, the Umbrella Corporation’s deadly T-virus
continues to ravage the Earth, transforming the global population into flesh
eating Undead. The human race’s last and only hope, Alice (Milla Jovovich),
awakens in the heart of Umbrella's most clandestine operations facility and
unveils more of her mysterious past as she delves further into the complex. Aided
by newfound allies and familiar friends, Alice must fight to survive long
enough to escape a hostile world on the brink of oblivion. The countdown has
begun.
As one of the wildly successful film
franchise adaptation of Japanese popular video game series, the
storyline for Resident Evil: Retribution is just nice. The movie start
with a downright pornographically symmetrical slow motion battle played out in
reverse, leading back to the cliff-hanger ending of previous entry Afterlife which
is pretty interesting. The context-free recap of previous series
speaking directly to the camera from a multi-video grid screen by clone Alice
later on pretty much explain the whole picture of this series, which is very helpful for those who didn’t watch
the previous episodes.

In general the movie is not bad at all, the creature effects and action choreography is great, a few
of the early scene with the boom
and shriek sound+ sudden zombie appearance really give me an adrenaline
rush and pulse raise. However, the 3D effect is kinda disappointing,
with applies 3D in the movie I expect improvement in both texturing agent and
stunt effect, but in the end there were only a few scene which give actual feel
of 3D, and surprisingly some of the scenes were very blur, wounder if it’s due
to the movie itself or it’s time for cathay cineplex e@curve to upgrade their
hardware.
Overall this is a rather entertaining action horror movie which
serves well as a refresher course before the grand climax, recalling all the
previous series while setting up the necessary pieces for the grand finale. Looking
forward to the ultimate climax ahead.
Rating: 6.3/10

*A little something that I would like
to share to give credit to cathay cineplex e@curve: After the movie as I was heading
to the parking lot I found that I lost my parking chip, so anxiously I rush
back to the hall to search for it, and instead of just send in 1 or 2 stuff as assistant,
everyone in the hall offers their help, and finally a young lady which probably
from the PR department of cathay retrieve my chip. Feel so grateful about it, too
bad I was in a hurry and didn’t manage to catch her name, still I remember this nice young lady, think I’ll
buy her a drink or something next time I met her.. ^_^
