Kurt Wimmer has always been comfortably in B movie hack territory but Anderson gives me the impression he once had ambitions to be Ridley Scott/James Cameron tier but he never had the talent
Anderson quite literally spent a decade trying to get Death Race off the ground because he considers himself the modern Roger Corman. He does take influence from James Cameron, though.
Anderson gives zero fricks about snobby critics hating all his movies. He gets the job done. He is pulpy, unique, populist, and more of an auteur than Ridley Scott is. Anderson's movies are distinctly his. Scott is a studio hack with no voice of his own. And AvP shits all over Prometheus.
I distinctly remember a genuine REEL MISSING feeling in the scene where she's playing with the kid in a merry-go-round. Like 10 minutes of the movie got skipped and nobody cared.
Equilibrium was significantly altered due to creative disagreements with Screen Gems. I think the problem is that akurt Wimmer is a c**t. Anderson has always faced studio frickery but was the master of charismatic compromise. AvP was rewritten behind Anderson's back to make it worse, but he still delivered a decent movie. Wimmer ran into studio meddling and shat the bed. The fiasco with Ultraviolet landed him in the director doghouse.
when you analyze it, its a little silly but the first time i seen it was snacking on a slurpee and 7/11 nachos stoned, so it felt quite kino. that and i have a thing for emily watson
Looks cool but goddamn all you need to do here is turn your wrist just a little bit and squeeze the trigger. Not to mention the hearing damage caused by this one little dance.
Made a mess of myself when this scene came on
One of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen
How they both kept from laughing is beyond me
Have you seen the movie? I don't get how people rip on this it's not even ultra high concept shit like EYE. The movie explains pretty decently for early 2000's action that the people that can do the gunfu shit are definitely pushing human boundaries or just stepping over them. So what if they're only displaying that theatrically and not with a bunch of homosexual CGI blur lines like your marvel movies? It only seems dumb on the other half of things because there's no music or buildup or sound and you're watching it on a 640x360 webm. The entire movie is kino as frick and by this point character development and emotional tension-wise and with the twist reveal it's 10x better. One of the greatest dubsman reaction images comes from this movie as well.
because it was inspired by eastern martial arts movies, where fight scenes were highly choreographed to look cool
I will take "dance" fighting over the rugged and manly realistic brawl any day of the week
>watching this on purpose
Kurt Wimmer was like the next big thing for exactly one movie (Equilibrium, which was pretty good), but OP was unwatchable, how are people still finding it
Could be a hallucination but I'm pretty sure I can remember a scene in this movie where Milla fights an Asian gang on a rooftop and trash talks them in Vietnamese or whatever language while it's blatantly obvious that she can't speak a word of it irl. The scene where she's naked in the hallway was great, though. All her roles at the time had an early nude scene to let you know not to walk out.
Being honest, I never quite understood the plot.
There's a disease which afflicted humanity and turned people into Vampires and then Humanity went to war to kill everyone who had this disease.
And then that kid is the weapon to kill all vampires but actually is a weapon to kill all humanity and/or to kill the vampires and is that boss's clone son
That's a man
That's Milla Jovovich.
What's the difference?
To be fair she is built like a wood plank
You're supposed to take breaks from /gif/ every so often anon.
It's hard to believe that movie is so crap. The cover is worth the price of a DVD tho.
The cover looks crap though.
Wait for the Director's Cut. On an alternate Earth.
Loved this movie as a teen but later rewatched it and realised its crap
im ok with style>substance shlock like picrel, but UV was just so goofy
when I saw the poster as a child, I thought that the sword was her arm and that it worked like tentacles
Well that was stupid of you wasn’t it
underated kino
What's even the difference between Kurt Wimmer and Wes Anderson?
Both are held captives by their own artistic sensibilities
Kurt Wimmer has always been comfortably in B movie hack territory but Anderson gives me the impression he once had ambitions to be Ridley Scott/James Cameron tier but he never had the talent
He's schlocky but also based for making a film that was 90% ass shots of Mila
Anderson quite literally spent a decade trying to get Death Race off the ground because he considers himself the modern Roger Corman. He does take influence from James Cameron, though.

Milla hated working with Wimmer and called him a "cad". Anderson is more like Zach Snyder.
Anderson is a professional and has a knack for surving horrible production and turning out a pretty good movie at the end.
If Anderson had made Ultraviolet it would be a much better movie that isn't just an oddball retread of Equilibrium.
one of the worst movies i ever seen. and i don't use this term lightly
that movie sucked so hard i felt i owed the people i watched it with an apology

AvP is the third best Predator movie and it's also a great popcorn flick
>fraud

now do it with much higher range weapons like bolt action hunting rifles
You can attach a bayonet and it basically becomes fencing
Gun-fu kino.
I can't believe my teenage self thought this was cool lmao
The movie was still cool. People liked it more for the ideology than just the gunfights.
it still is very cool, except maybe the ending move

which one exactly
pure kino, all you haters can go watch marvel
That's Seagal tier acting.
What are you trying to say?
is this the movie where every mook has a motorcycle helmet on?
I didn't mind it.
She's so hot brehs I read Master and Margherita for she
That English twat is a lucky man.
gung-fu??
This was around the time Sin City came out and people went crazy with green screens
i get that but what made my eyes bleed was the deliberate decision to turn the noise reduction to 9000 to make it comic-y
this moronic shit is why I rewatch Ultraviolet on a yearly basis
tummy kino?
the frick was up with the early aughts and dancing fighting girls, even crouchingtiggerhiddendragoon, they were interpretive-dance fighting
because it was inspired by eastern martial arts movies, where fight scenes were highly choreographed to look cool
I will take "dance" fighting over the rugged and manly realistic brawl any day of the week
It's just another Mila beats the crap out of everyone movie, never to be taken seriously just enjoy the sexy Mila

Jem was qt
That outfit is so iconic. A pity about the movie though.
It's a bit sad how this category of modestly budgeted kind of bad sci-fi/fantasy action movies died off. B movies are completely unwatchable now
