Kurt WimmerStoryline
Set in the late 21st century, a subculture of humans have emerged who
have been modified genetically by a vampire-like disease, giving them
enhanced speed, incredible stamina and acute intelligence, and as they
are set apart from "normal" and "healthy" humans, the world is pushed to
the brink of worldwide civil war aimed at the destruction of the
"diseased" population. In the middle of this crossed-fire is - an
infected beautiful woman - Ultraviolet, who finds herself protecting a
nine-year-old boy who has been marked for death by the human government
as he is believed to be a threat to humans. Written by

Definitely not Equilibrium
Kurt Wimmer who wrote
and directed Equilibrium, which imho is a great movie, failed miserably
to repeat his former success. The idea's behind the movie had visible
potential but unfortunately the execution was extremely poor. Bad
acting, a confusing and altogether nonsensical story line, and most of
all bad writing really killed this one for me. This movie seemed more
like a commercial for CGI than anything else. The CGI however was
excellent (except for the last scene, I guess they ran out of money)and
probably the most interesting part of the movie. The action which is why
I saw the movie suffered from repetition: from the characters, to the
setups (Violet is being attacked when she is out-numbered), to the
moves, unnecessary sword fighting when they have guns with bullets,
unnecessarily repetitive situations (big circle everyone attacks at once
and violet wins with ease no challenging battle), and a lack of depth.
Kurt really missed the mark, better luck next time.
