QFT that movie was horrible....and i usually like horrible sci-fi

QFT X2

I love milla, and think she's one of the hottest hollywood stars. I even watched ultraviolet just for her, and I'll wholeheartedly agree that it was one of the worst acted, cliche, garbage I've ever seen.[/q

Funny I actually enjoyed it. I saw it expecting the worst and ended up liking it. Fifth element is much better though.

mmhmm, I enjoyed Ultraviolet for how bad it was. It was one of those enjoyable bad movies. Like Alone in the Dark, pretty much a bad movie but easy to watch. Not to be confused with awesomely bad, which is just a movie that is basically bad because its TRYING to be bad, and ends up being a really enjoyable movie, like Snakes on a Plane. :D

I'm afraid so.
I think she is one of those gals who happens to be a great actress but because she's hot she gets stuck in certain roles too often. Now it seems like she is typecast and cant get out of it.
.45 wasnt too bad but very few people have seen it.
The Messenger was the same way.

Many other hot, young actresses seem to be in the same boat.

Mila is fine in her typecast action-femme characters. She butchered The Messenger... All other movies I've seen, she doesn't have much stage presence.

As for Ultraviolet, I went "WTF?" when the trailer came out. "Didn't this movie come out already?" Well, turns out it didn't, I was thinking of Aeon Flux, which really looked like the exact thing except with Charlize in place.

I had to turn it off (the first time in my movie watching history I had to do this) 20 minutes into the film.

Terrible movie!!

First thing I thought! :laugh:

Although the trailer for Resident Evil: Extinction is pretty hot... Milla's got the white see-through tank-top on :evil:!

At least she is a model with probably the most successful movie career from the 90's into the 2000's... probably because she can do alot of flexing and stunts is what allows her to keep going...

not many women can fill that role

Ultraviolet was awful. So so bad. There are movies that I have watched 6 times that I am not proud of, but good god man, Ultraviolet? That makes even the movies I consider to be guilty pleasures look like Citizen Kane.

your wish is my command. Some of these are probably NSFW.

i guess she was in zoolander, but she seems to be pretty much typecast.

that's the girl from 5th element?

she's what? mid 30's now.

wow.. still hot.

or is it all that makeup + digital editing? (look at sharron stone in Basic instinct 2)
