Ultraviolet




See? See?! Viruses again. Always with the viruses.
Anyway, Ultraviolet is an entertaining flick starring Mila Jovovich (5th Element) and Cameron Bright (Godsend) as a well-armed killer/hemophage. Some strange virus is invented by the military, some people get stronger because of it but they're cursed with a 12 year time limit. The story follows Ultraviolet as she steals a mysterious anti-hemophage weapon, finds out it's a boy, and then proceeds to try and protect him from his evil maker. The story isn't so much a sci-fi flick as it is an action flick. Neither the acting nor the plot are particularly good, but the action sequences are excellent. Mila goes up against hordes of bad guys and of course she takes them all out and looks good doing it. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's what this movie is all about: getting Mila to look good while she kills some peeps.

Oh, and considering how many people die in this movie it's amazing how little blood we see.

Sci-fi: 1
Pop: 2
Action: 4
