Ultraviolet Gunkata
What is Gunkata? It allows the practitioner to put him/herself in the least statistically possible place to be hit at each moment of a gun fight. Gunkata is based on a scientific analysis of bullet trajectory and range based on the mathematical possible outcomes of a gunfight. Gunkata sprang from the mind of director Kurt Wimmer and premiered in his awesome film Equilibrium. Ultraviolet is Wimmer's new film and while it has no relation to the world of Equilibrium, Gunkata is again used. The ever tasty Milla Jovovich plays an engineered vampire fighting against the normal humans trying to eradicate their biological creations. The plot is more twisty than that but you simply need to see this film. I haven't seen such a visually interesting film in a long time. Both the characters and the sets are tinted in primary colours at times and it seems every frame with Milla in it is picture perfect. Even Violet's clothing and hair through technology shifts colours and makes for exciting contrasts. While Equilibrium was a slower paced film with a more intellectual payoff Ultraviolet is all about visceral thrills. The action is constant and varied. The bike chase sequence is incredible as Violet has a device to let her bend gravity so the chase continues up and across skyscrapers!Fist-fights, sword-fights, gun-fights, flaming-sword-fights and gunswithblades-fights keep you entertained. The film in some ways reminds me of Bladerunner, and while the way it's filmed is very modern something seemed to remind me of the best of the 80s. In any case, if you want fun over-the-top thrills give this a view.
