Just saw Ultraviolet.

OK, so part of it is unfortunate timing (who wants follow Aeon Flux and Charlize Theron with the same shtik?), but, frankly, the movie's not that good on its own.

It tries too hard to capture some of the comic series' signature moments (and pulls some of them off), but a lot of them fall terribly flat -- turns out splash panels don't translate well to film.

Mila Jovovich is fun to watch, and there is some heart and flourish worth seeing.

Now, off to see Night Watch to hopefully clear the aesthetic palate ...
