I've heard no advanced buzz about this flick. The trailer looks cool, but I have to admit, hot babe with a big **** gun creating a big body count was what caught my initial interest.

Milla is YUMMY!

    I think thats the worst trailer I've seen in years... I love sci fi / action, but this just looks like a Aeon Flux re-hash (although I'm sure this is based on a comic), and since I barely wanted to see Aeon Flux that's not saying much.

    It'll definatly be worth rent but I don't think I'll go to the theaters to see it. To me it sounds like that old tv show with Jessica Alba, Dark Angel, but with a little twist in the killing of people and such.

    It should be a good killing / sound effects movie.

    It's not Resident Evil any more than Firewall is Clear and Present Danger........Even if it is, i wouldn't hold the similarity against it......I liked Resident and Present.

    I watched the DVD today, definately a 'B' sci-fi movie. The killing went on and on and on without much point or gore. All tied together with a simple sappy story line.

    Agreed. Hated the half-cartoon look to it.

    However, the opening scene was very cool. After that, you can turn it off.

    not even worth a rental IMO. The CGI made everything look plastic and cartoony. I'll definitely put that on my "Not to watch again" list. The background music overpowered the action. No thank you. But yeah, I'd do my best at making her walk funny for a week.

    Loved it. Sleek, sexy, sci-fi. The CGI was interesting, looked like you were flipping the pages of a comic book at times, very cool.

    If they'd only used better lighting during the scanner scene. Damnit!
    If...

    I liked it for what it was. It wasn't a good movie, but it wasn't trying to be. It's a hot chick killing people in comic book fashion. Did exactly what it was supposed to do.

    Great use of color, some cool effects, and decent sound, but riding the bike on the side of a building with an anti-gravity belt? Come on now. That was a bit much for me, Sci-Fi or not. The best part of this film was seeing UV in her tight oufits. Other than that?

    I would even go as far to say, that Aeon Flux was a much better film. (IMO)

    I agree. Aeon blew it away.

    haha guess im odd man out with this one, i liked it.

    thought the brilliant coloring/theme along with the fight scenes had a great mix. audio wasnt perfect but it rarely ever is.

    and yes i liked it better than aeon flux, which other than the fight scenes threatened to put me to sleep.

    oh and one last point. (the one that matters)

    It was visually stunning and I thought the the CGI was pretty cool and did what it was intended to do(live comic book). The story itself sucked. It's great for testing out video screens. Looks damn good on my new 37" lcd for sure.
