Utraviolet: Soft Core Butt Kicking

If you are a male between the ages of 17-40, Ultraviolet is for you. If you don't happen to be part of this demographic -- don't bother to read further.

Ultraviolet has what I like to call the "male triumvirate".
1. Hot Hot Woman: Milla Jovovich
2. Many weapons that must include: sword, automatic handguns, an object not normally used as a weapon.
3. Hot woman using hot implements of death in an entirely unreal , yet HOT way.

Thus the three ingredients come together to make "Ultraviolet" a masterpiece of geekdom.

Unlike the other Jovovich franchise "Resident Evil", "Ultraviolet" actually held my attention through the entire movie. The stylized action sequences were masterfully choreographed and were fun. This entirely made up for the pencil thin plot. Let's be real, there really doesn't have to be a plot with movies of this type. That's not why we go and see them. See earlier description of the "male triumvirate".

This movie seems to almost be the anti "Resident Evil". Most the the scenes take place in the light, colorful world that director Kurt Wimmer has created, not the cold darkness of "Evil". Every scene takes advantage of most of the color that my TV was capable of pumping out.

The only thing that I really think sucks in the movie is the cardboard cutout villain (played by Nick Chinlund). Unlike his masterful serial killer in the "X-files" with a lust for hair and hair products, Chinlund plays a corporate scientist (I think) that basically spends the entire movie with a respirator in his nose. I kept focusing on the damn thing. How did this protect his mouth from the virus? This thought process held my attention more than the character himself. Even this mystery is solved at the end of the film.

All in all, I will be buying this movie in the future once I see it in the bargain bin somewhere.....for the "art" of course.
