Ultraviolet Ultraviolet 2 stars

Yehhhhhhhhh … don’t know what to say about this one, lol. Like I was surprised that Equilibrium came from one guy’s mind, I was surprised here that the same director didn’t have some “assistance” like, say, from someone like Uwe Boll? I can’t think what went wrong – some people blame it on a missing 30 minutes, and I’ll likely watch this again should a director’s cut emerge, but I don’t see it ever going higher than a generous 3 stars. It’s not a terrible movie, and if you want to like it was much as I did, you can almost make sense of it. Milla Jovovich is gorgeous and not the worst of actresses, though Cameron Bright (the weird kid from Birth) steals every scene he has with her. Klaus Bedelt’s score is nice, a bit too like Danny Elfman’s Spiderman, especially during the opening credits (which, btw, are the best thing in the movie), and the production design and visual effects are, well … interesting.
