It's the same overly-colorful CG filter, and swords, and dystopian future, but I have a soft spot for it.Mark Ahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00695975412662760562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-48007042046029312392013-02-26T17:11:46.292-06:002013-02-26T17:11:46.292-06:00Most of Wimmer's story - a take on Cassavette&...Most of Wimmer's story - a take on Cassavette's "Gloria" - ended up on the cutting room floor because it wasn't as action-centric as the studio wanted. That cut has never been seen. Maybe it sucks too but I'd like to see it for myself.<br />Until that happens I just turn my brain off and enjoy this for the visuals....and William Fichtner.. :-)Kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-88785165891511639272013-02-26T09:48:19.852-06:002013-02-26T09:48:19.852-06:00I saw it barely two weeks ago and I can't reme...I saw it barely two weeks ago and I can't remember anything about it, either.

Milla's unemotional VO made me hate Violet (and even Six) more and more whenever she spoke. Only Nick Chinlund (looking like he stepped off the "Dune" set) fares reasonably OK as the heavy. All this is based on the PG-13 version that was done without Wimmer's approval (the only one released on BD) but I doubt a director's cut could have fixed enough of its problems to make "Ultraviolet" coherent.

Nothing. I was surprised to read it features some sort of vampires. Apparently my brain filed <i>Ultraviolet</i> away next to "Uncle Molestation" in the old Repressed Memory Vault. Thanks brain! And thanks Patrick, for saving me the trauma of ever watching it again!Sol O.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-53540220261646696762013-02-25T06:55:50.252-06:002013-02-25T06:55:50.252-06:00For extra "enjoyment" you might want to ...For extra "enjoyment" you might want to listen to the commentary. It's an hour and a half of Milla Jovovich occasionally saying nonsense in between really long pauses.<br /><br />During the scene where they poke her with needles and draw blood:<br />"Oh this is gross, I can't watch this. Ehh. Hee hee. Woooo. *squeals* Oh no this is awful. Ha ha ha."<br /><br />It's enlightening!<br /><br />I did really enjoy the soundtrack though.Rikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04205172953473507574noreply@blogger.com
