UselessWorld (dvd)

Rating: 1/10 (8 January 2006)

This movie had got all to be a hit: A Hollywood icon (Beckinsale), mythic fantasy characters (vampire & werewolf), and appropriate locations (Romania)....
However, the result is a disaster:
I watched the DVD with the director's comments, and even though i was surely tired by other reasons, I confess that i slept in front of this.
Why ? What i have seen was just senseless gunfights "à la "Matrix". Then, the actualization of the mythology of those fantasy figures is sometimes "too much": the werewolves have to be to be more "CAT" like! Atlast, the atmosphere is killed by the colorization of the screen. Everything, every one is tinged from blue.... Ah Technicolor.....
As there is a sequel scheduled in 2006, I know already one movie i won't see.
In conclusion, Prefer "Van Helsing" for a hit with the same ingredients: Beckinsale, Romania & vampires....
