Ultraviolet radiation is harmful to the eyes- AND ULTRA VIOLENT to your money =(

Okaay, again, uni fell prey to the hands of treacherous movie makers who makes super nice trailers, gets you all hyped up and excited, then drop you like a chinese subject during o levels. Yes! I'm refering to the movie ULTRAVIOLET!

Heres a picture on my left if you don't read movie names and focus more on pictorial memory. Anyway, the movie's about following a biological warfare holocaust, a lone Hemophage warrior battles the totalitarian dictator who seeks to eliminate this sub-species of humans who have enhanced vampire-like abilities.

AND WHAT BRILLIANT VAMPIRE LIKE ABILITIES DO THEY HAVE?!:

a)Extra pointy teeth for NOT sucking blood

SOME had nice pointy teeth, most didn't. So weird =_= What SUCKS about this movie? I only know whats a hemophage only at the LATER part of the story. The plot moves faster then the speed of light, less then 5 minutes before the movie is showed, she started pwning everyone in the buildings. All i know those infected are just killed (like wtf, the movie doesn't even explain how it harms others, neither were hemophages seen drinking blood)


b)Night vision?

*Vampires = hemophages, shoots all the lights in the corridor
Narcissistic Dictator: Turn on night vision, kill em all!
*Darkness + gunshots*
-Emergency lights on-
*dead bodies everywhere*
Then the vampires and the dictator guy just walks into some cafe, wtf?

c)THE POWER TO MAKE HUMANS SHOOT AT POINT BLANK RANGE!

Talk about rendering guns as useless as knives, the female lead (violet) is surrounded by enemy soldiers carrying mp5s at least FIVE times, and ends up doing some lightning fast moves killing ALL of them. Like wtf? WHO THE HELL RUNS AT POINT BLANK RANGE AND FIRES A SUBMACHINE GUN?! JUST FIRE YOU STUPID @)*$_)*@$@)$@$*)!! WHAT THE HELL ARE GUNS FOR?! (assuming that the vampires don't have such an ability)

Well, thats all i see in this 88min movie. The action is NOT-SO-BAD, but the producers are as creative as teletubbies. Besides the MATRIX VERSION of countless clone-like soldiers thingy, the dodging bullets with wave like thingies in slow motion, the MINORITY REPORT version of having guns stored in some projection thingy, the only ORIGINAL concept they have is the GRAVITATIONAL DEVICE, which she only used for like 5 minutes in the beginning and none later.

2 BIG reasons not to catch it:

1) Dialogue was laughably bad. One of the lead actress' lines was actually "Because these beautiful moments turn evil when they're over."
What?? This was regarding a romantic pass made at her.

2) Excessive use of CGI(computer graphics imaging) is a personal irritant. Additionally, the motorcycle chase scenes were only one step above TRON. I might as well have been watching my 11 year old neighbours play some video game.
