The most florescent piece of junk since Belly

Ultraviolet is a key example of style over substance. The problem of course is that the style isn’t that good to begin with. The movie plays like a graphic design major’s senior project. It looks like a colorized version of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow run amuck with airbrushing from Photoshop. The graphics are far from cutting edge and the action is predictable and tedious. After each mediocre fight Violet stop and pauses all dramatic like as if were supposed to drop our jaws in awe. And the score… it sound like Enya run wild with all of the operatic “oohs” and “awws.” The script reads like it was written by an eight year old with ADD since the terminology used in the film is thrown about as if we’re already supposed to know what the film is about before we set foot in the theater. Save your money and don’t even rent this one when it’s released on DVD next month. |
