Ultravoilet = Ultra Disappoint

My wife and I went to check out the movie Ultraviolet last night figuring that it was the best of a rather lackluster list of movies that are currently at the theatres. For those of you who do not know the premise of the story here are the basics:

Somewhere in the future, the US Government tinkers with some long forgotten virus and ends up creating a highly contagous bio-agent that is spread from person to person just from body fluid coming in contact with the skin. Essentially from there, the world panics and anyone who contracts this disease is segregated from the population and eventually culled. Now the last few people with this disease (who are know as 'Hemophages') fight a war of survival against the humans.

Overall the movie stinks, I was tempted numerous times to just stand up and leave but I knew I couldn't get my money back so I stayed. Sadly you cannot even call Ultraviolet a "popcorn" movie like you could with Underworld 2 (ie. the movie you sit back, eat your popcorn, turn your brain off and just enjoy even though its got a ton of flaws, holes and problems), it really was that bad.

Here are my big complaints about the film:
1) It felt more like a really long music video or someone's very lame and poorly done computer game. There was so much choreography going on, especially in the many numerous, long, drawn out fighting sequences you got sick and tired of it (especially with the less than average techno music that went along with this stuff). While the whole plot for the game literally played out like a video game: Violet fights minions and steals a package, the package turns out to be a super weapon that can kill all humans, she gets a change of heart and has to protect the kid (in some warped sense of morality), fights more minions and mid level boss guys, uncovers the plot, loses the kid, has to fight her way into the big bosses hide-out and fight through all his minions (700 of them) and then kill the big boss. Wow how exciting and original.
2) Vampires!? Yes you read that right, somewhere along the way the movie turns into the fact that the Hemophages are vampires (complete withthe enlarged canines). Think a really lame Underworld (yes its possible) but in a sci-fi setting.
3) Where's the story? I swear there is like 100 lines of dialogue in the film and most of those are lame one liners like "I'm gonna kill you". Plus on top of that there are a lot of unanswered questions like how did the Hemophages get all these special powers or abilities they have or how did the ArchDiasis (the leader of the humans), who is also a Hemophage in hiding, manage to never get caught considering how many security policies the humans have.
4) Bad VFX. After watching the film I get the feeling that all the money for this flick went into the choreography and a few props and whatever was left over was given to a few firms to fill out the movie and it unfortunately shows.

Save you cash if you can or at the very least wait until this movie is on DVDs (im sure in a few weeks) if you want a good laugh at a very bad movie. Its a bad movie that would have maybe been an average game but somewhere along the way the lack of talent or attention associated with this film killed it.
