Ultraviolet (Unrated, Extended Cut)
So…. right after I watched Resident Evil: Extinction, a film I was biased by my Resident Evil video game addiction into liking, I watched a somewhat similar film built around the same lead actress- to very different results. Without the benefit of the emotional buy-in the RE video game series brought to the table and with an even worse plot and sometimes goofy effects I don’t have all that much nice to say about this comic-booky (but not actual comic based) film. The best part of the film is comic-book cover montage in the intro.
That’s not a good sign.
Sure, there are some okay action scenes and the film is occasionally pretty stylish, but man was this thing ridiculous. I’ve got years of bad (and not so bad) science fiction under my belt and even I had a hard time not groaning at some of the plot devices at play here.
I can’t say I hated it, but I’d hate to say it was any good.
