DivX: Ultraviolet (2006)
Ultraviolet (Kurt Wimmer, dir/wrtr) is pretty bad! I can’t say that I wasn’t surprised, but still, it was worse than I’d expected. Granted, some of it looked pretty cool so there were at least glimpses of some cool production happening, but overall, this was not only boring, but contrived, over-the-top and exhausting. (I fell asleep no less than six times, and I wasn’t even tired. I did rewind it each time, though, so I can still say that I legitimately suffered through the entire film.)
I’m not even going to bother recapping the story. Milla Jovovich barely effective as the lead and allows her hair, costume and weapons to out-act her. Her character was so inauthentic that I actually had no idea as to why she was protecting that kid, so how could I root for her?
Anyway, avoid this one! I heard that it’s actually worse than ?ɂĆon Flux. I haven’t seen it yet, but I think I might actually watch it, despite the warnings.
Yes. This movie was terrible. I suffered through three quarters of it and honestly couldn’t care less about how it ended. One of the ONLY movies that has ever inflicted that disinterest in me.
You should see Æon Flux. It’s filmed in Berlin!!! In fact, it was the scenery from Æon Flux that made me want to visit Berlin even more. You need to see it… someone gave it to me so I have it, I’ll hook a brutha up.
