Checked out Ultraviolet tonight and as much as I wanted to like this movie I just couldn't. It's written & directed by Kurt Wimmer who also did Equilibrium, one of my favorite "sci-fi" films. It's supposedly a very loose remake of 'Gloria'. The films back story involves a genetically engineered plague set loose on the world and a race of hyperfast, hyperstrong vampires dubbed "Hemophages". The fear of the virus has the turned world into paranoid society run by fascist government named the Arch-Ministry. The government has the developed the ultimate weapon to defeat the Hemophages in a 10 year-old boy.

The only thing stopping the extermination of the Hemophages is, Violet. A recent recruit to the Hemophage cause who uses her brutal skills to prevent the vampiress from being killed. Back when she was human, Violet was pregnant, but lost the child. Her personal malpractice mission means finding the humans responsible before they can wipe her & her kind off the planet.

The rest of the film is a 90 minute music video combined with the graphics of a video game all matched up with pulse pounding techno beat.

If you've seen Equilibrium, then you know there were some ultra cool fight scenes, especially the final battle. The ones in this film, however, are lackluster which is disappointing, since the entire movie is one fight scene after another.
