When I saw Retribution in the theaters earlier this year, I wasn't too impressed. The plot was wacky and it wasn't scary. Actually, the Resident Evil movies have been getting less scary since the first one, which I thought was scary and had a very creepy feel to it. I guess the wacky plot didn't really bother me too much though, since it is a zombie movie, so my belief is suspended pretty high anyway. But the movie just wasn't scary, and for a zombie flick, there should be some decent scares.
When I saw that it was released on Blu-ray the other day, I started thinking about the movie all over again. But this time, I took it all in from an action-flick perspective. I realized I had to own this movie. Retribution is balls to the wall action and eye candy. It doesn't get much better than this. It's funny that that's all it took to totally change my mind about this film, but it did. Retribution has everything you'd look for in an action film, plus zombies. I'm not saying it's film of the year, but it's a very satisfying action movie experience. Something you'll watch for the action and graphics, not for the scares. If you take the movie this way, you'll enjoy all it has to offer. 8 out of 10 stars.
