Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film's central conflict against an amoral global corporation (Umbrella) presents a common critique of unchecked corporate power, which typically aligns with left-leaning perspectives; however, its primary focus on action-heroism and survival against a generically evil entity, without delving into deeper systemic critiques or offering politically charged solutions, renders its overall message largely apolitical.
The movie showcases a visibly diverse ensemble cast, incorporating characters from various racial backgrounds and a character with a disability. This diversity largely aligns with existing character designs or new roles rather than explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white characters. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, without offering a critical perspective on them within its action-driven plot.
Secondary
The film features Alice, the protagonist, who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple male opponents, utilizing martial arts and melee weapons.
The film "Resident Evil: Retribution" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses entirely on action, survival, and the ongoing conflict against the Umbrella Corporation, with no elements related to queer identity present in the plot or character arcs.
Resident Evil: Retribution is an action-horror film centered on Alice's ongoing battle against the Umbrella Corporation and its zombie apocalypse. The narrative does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes, nor does it engage with issues of gender identity. Consequently, the film has no discernible impact on the portrayal of transsexual individuals.
Resident Evil: Retribution features characters such as Jill Valentine, Ada Wong, and Leon S. Kennedy, who all maintain their established genders from the video game source material. Original characters created for the film series do not constitute gender swaps, resulting in no instances of gender swapping.
All major characters from the source material, such as Jill Valentine, Ada Wong, Leon S. Kennedy, and Barry Burton, are portrayed by actors whose race aligns with their established depictions in the video games. No race swaps are identified.
