Mov Rev: Ultraviolet

Probably the worst film I've seen this year, one of the worst since Catwoman I think, unfortunately. The script is bad, the acting is bad, the direction and storyboarding are bad, however the film does have a certain feel to it and there are some good camera angles and tricks that make some scenes quite stylish. I do wonder if the cheesy, embarrassingly cringeworthy acting and dialogue were done on purpose as part of the comic book approach to the film, but none of the comics I read were ever this bad.

Best bit was the disposible mobile phones, printed from a terminal on the wall, nice idea. Milla Jovovich seems to be keeping fit and appears in several tight costumes, but it's just not enough to compensate for the rest of the film.

'88 out of 2006

Better than Catwoman (just), not as good as Resident Evil.
