Ultraviolet (Unrated, Extended Cut)
Date undefinedWow, what a straight across the board mix of reviews. I liked it to begin with, but once I watched the making of it, as well as Milla's narrative throughout the entire movie (which is such a great option) I was hooked. Filmed in Shanghai China, I thought it was all CGI, but in fact, most of the architecture is the real deal, never mind how well the CGI itself comes across. I am floored at the technical aspects and attention to artistic detail that Wimmer put into this film. And lets keep one thing in mind also. This is a rendering of ideas from a comic book, not 12 angry men, or psycho. It's supposed be outlandish and impossible. My point is, it's meant to be a Disneyland roller coaster ride. Nothing more, and with that in mind, it is superb. Say what you will...I think it's a masterpiece of visual art and creativity. I laughed my butt off when in the narrative, Milla shouts WOO HOO when they show the shot of her naked butt! She explains it as a total boys moment. HEHE! How true. Hilarious. That's my 2 cents.

Date undefinedAs the story goes,
Director writes and shoots interesting movie. Spends too much time in the edit bay perfecting it, studio grows impatient at the time it's taking and hires someone to come in and quickly hack together something they can throw into theaters. Thus the theatrical version of this movie is released.
Movie looks cool but story is total crap. Movie Tanks.
Studio decides to throw together an "Unrated Edition" which is really just a cut closer to what the director intended, and you get this edition of the movie, which is 50 times BETTER. The story isn't super-awesome, but it works and is much better. Maybe one day we'll get a true directors cut.

I'm slowly replacing DVD versions of movies I really think would be good to watch in high definition (Blu-ray) and this movie is definitely pretty good visually. Typical special effects but look so much better in Blu-ray.
