For the most part, the Resident Evil, films have been a joy for geeks wanting pure escapism at the movies. Viral outbreaks, zombies, elaborate action scenes, wild genetic experiments, etc. – it’s all there in the video game-inspired movie series for admirers of action/horror movies to sink their teeth into.

Now, while I personally was not impressed with Afterlife, the franchise’s last outing, the trailers for this September’s Resident Evil: Retribution seem to have kept this blogger’s hope alive that we just might still have something cool to look forward to with the series. I’m not holding my breath, but I enjoyed the first three films, so odds are in my favor. Admit it. The movie does look pretty fun.

To help refresh us a bit on the plot of the series thus far, Yahoo! Movies has put out a nice featurette recapping the story of the main character, Alice, played once again by Milla Jovovich. Hit the jump to check it out!

Resident Evil: Retribution, directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, stars Milla Jovovich, Sienna Guillory, Michelle Rodriguez and Kevin Durand. It hits theaters in 3-D September 14th.
