Have y'all seen those commercials for UltraViolet? Didn't they already make that movie and call it Aeon Flux?
Hot Babe in Black Leather II
Apropos, really, as the central theme in Aeon Flux was cloning.
From Peter Hartlaub's review in today's Chron:
"
Ultraviolet is a movie to be enjoyed only by science fiction movie completists and middle school boys with extreme cases of Attention Deficit Disorder.
The plotline accomplishes the difficult task of being both complicated and repetitive. Leather-clad Violet (Jovovich, wearing Cher's haircut from the 1965 "Baby Don't Go" tour) is an apparently indestructible soldier engaging in a futuristic battle between humans and her vampire-like race of superpeople called Hemophages. The human bad guys are led by the evil Daxus (Nick Chinlund), who for some unexplained reason has tiny salt shakers shoved up his nostrils for the entire movie.
Violet must defend a mysterious boy named Six from Daxus' minions, most of whom are dressed like they know how to kick butt, then stand like idiots and let themselves get decapitated. Except this is a PG-13 movie, so you don't really see any bloody heads roll, except from blurry far-away angles.
Ultraviolet must have cost a few bucks. The amount of special effects in this film makes
The Fifth Element look like
Grizzly Man by comparison. In addition, writer and director Kurt Wimmer appears to have gone to the expense of building a time machine, so he could go back to 1985 and get a young Wil Wheaton to play Six. (The makers of
Ultraviolet credit an actor named Cameron Bright, but judging solely by looks, I'm sticking to my theory.)
...
The drama ends, confusingly, with a flaming sword battle that takes place partially in the dark, and appears to have equal influences from
Highlander and that annual Yule Log that appears every Christmas on KICU-Action 36.
The Yule Log was way more entertaining."
