Any film that needs five minutes of exposition to get you started is in trouble. And when you know the backstory is a hell of a lot more interesting than what you’re watching – argh!

The plot is poor, what bits made sense. The fight scenes are ridiculous, and not in a good way, and get very repetitive (Milla, you’ve used that trick already. Diversify, woman!). And the scenery – usually something you can rely on in this genre – looks like a cheap computer game.

I very nearly switched it off after 10 minutes. I kinda wish I had.

Although… the day they invent auto-colour-changing clothes, I am so there!!

I don’t know why I bother to watch movies that I know are going to be bad. I decided to watch this one because I like Milla Jovovich. What can I say about it?

Well…It was better than Bloodrayne.

The fight scenes are pretty incredible: Equilibrium meets Aeon Flux all around. Not the best plot, the music was passable, some of the settings were unbelievable. Worth a look see if you enjoy Jovovich but definitely not her best film.

So, ultimately, this movie was pretty bad. The story was lame, acting by the main characters was universally awful (except for the scientist “vampire” guy), and the dialog was shockingly poor. It was so bad that I couldn’t even laugh at the badness.

Visually, I thought the action sequences enjoyable to watch though. Equilibrium was a much better movie from this director.

Since I did watch it all the way through (well, with some muting and fast forwarding), it was worth consuming. Barely.

Probably the worst movie I’ve seen all year. First of all, Milla Jovovich’s character seemed like a rehash of the one she played in the Resident Evil movies (particularly Res. Evil 2), and the story itself seemed similar. Second, the dialogue was brutally awful. I mean, really really really really bad. Third, the acting sucked (with the exception of the dude playing the friendly, helpful scientist guy—my annoyance at the movie abated a little whenever he was on the screen). Fourth, the plot was incomprehensible. Things happened, but they just didn’t make sense. The movie finished and I felt like I had no grasp of what the point of it was or what it was really about. Fifth, the soundtrack was irritating. Sixth, for what I assume was supposed to be an action move, the “action” scenes were boring as hell, and ridiculously poorly choreographed. Seventh, it felt like the movie was actively trying to substitute style for substance; it was like the makers knew it was crap and were hoping to distract us from its crappiness by making it look cool. They failed miserably.

Overall, a really terrible movie. Nothing whatsoever to recommend it. Avoid at all costs.
