Five Resident Evil films, but only one Fifth Element?

Have you been missing Milla Jovovich? Good news, then: Resident Evil: Retribution, the fifth installment in the hugely successful videogame-based film series, is due out on September 14, 2012. The film once again charts the exploits of Alice, the zombie-killing Milla, as she continues to hunt down the Umbrella Corporation. The official synopsis reads:

The Umbrella Corporation's deadly T-virus continues to ravage the Earth, transforming the global population into legions of the flesh-eating Undead. The human race's last and only hope, Alice, 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. Without a safe haven, Alice continues to hunt those responsible for the outbreak; a chase that takes her from Tokyo to New York, Washington D.C. and Moscow, culminating in a mind-blowing revelation that will force her to rethink everything that she once thought to be true. 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.

So here's the problem: it feels like zombies are over, a bit. The phrase (and obvious pun) 'done to death' springs to mind and makes me laugh. And yet the trailer below is intriguing, as is the fact that Michelle Rodriguez costars, and the promise of mind-blowing revelations. Check it out for yourself:

So what do you think? Are five films too many? Or can Milla breathe new life (!) into a played-out story line?
