What the movie should have been...

According to some sources who attended a screening of Ultraviolet, the "rough cut" of the film contained approximately half an hour of footage that was cut from the theatrical version. The removal of this footage seriously undermined the coherency of the story and the development of the characters (the same thing happened to Alien3). This novelization, being based on the original screenplay instead of the theatrical cut, restores these missing plot and character elements. Considering that I rather liked UV to begin with, it goes without saying that I like the book even more. By telling the story the way it was meant to be told, it gives us all the more reason to demand a genuine Director's Cut of the film. Until then... FLAMING SWORDFIGHT IN THE DARK! OMG!

"UltraViolet" True Blue Adventure

"UltraViolet" is the latest contribution to an increasingly long list of movies and subsequent movie tie-ins featuring vampires as the central characters. Of late, the "Blade" trilogy and "Underworld" films have also made thier way to the silver screen and books as well. Though an abundant use of similies grace the pages of this tie-in there is an eveness of style that makes reading flow easlily along. It is, primarily, an action oriented tale alternating between chase and pursuit and fight and slash sequences. As an experienced author, Yvonne Navarro imparts a masterful symmerty in this film adaption put to words. Well worth the read and an excellent addition to a literary collection Recommended Reads: "Species", "Species II", "Hellboy" and "Aliens" Music of the Spheres" by Yvonne Navarro; "Blade" by Mel Odom; "Blade III: Trinity" by Natasha Rhodes; "Underworld", "Underworld: Blood Enemy" and "Underworld: Evolution" by Greg Cox.

yeah, don't be a toolbox, just read it.

Anywya, this book is good, it developes more of story, because they had to edit a lot from the movie to make it PG-13. it was originally rated R, but they wanted to please the audiences. i pray they make an unrated version when it comes out, which should be soon considering that it is tanking in theaters. It's not the best movie in the world, but it tried and also I have seen a lot worse. try the book.
