Ultraviolet
Saw Ultraviolet a few days before Holy Week. I paid to watch it cause MillaJovovich is in action playing the title character, Violet. But after watching the movie, I love it more for the action. This movie has the most intense, jaw-dropping, bizaare yet cool, and must-be-seen-to-be-believed action sequences you're gonna see in a very very long while. The movie is set in the future, right? So theres weird but cool technology on hand. Like 'levellers' that manipulate the pull of gravity allowing the user and vehicles to stick or climb up any vertical surface so they can have fights on ceilings and allow the person or vehicle to go up and around the side of a building. The movie is visually off-beat and colorful. Think of it as a more colorful Matrix.
As for the rest of the movie: the dialogue could be better, story is silly, there are vampire fangs that aren't used at all, and hammy acting (not Milla she's cool). All in all, the action, and Milla, should be in a better movie.
I almost forgot, Besides Jennifer Garner, Milla Jovovich is the only actress I know that is all at once athletic, sexy, and doesn't look awkward when doing stunts(I like to think they both do their own stunts) in action scenes.
