adonis98-743-186503 A beautiful hemophage infected with a virus that gives her superhuman powers has to protect a boy in a futuristic world, who is thought to be carrying antigens that would destroy all hemophages. If you asked me about Ultraviolet and what i thought about it back in 2006 or 2007 i would have told you that it's a great movie but now after seeing it a couple of times i can see the many problems that it faces from the laughable special effects that look like they came out of a 1983 film to the over the top action, the cheesy acting and the mediocre villains plus the story isn't that good either but as a movie it does what it was meant to do pretty well because if you want to see Milla Jovovich kicking the sh*t out of people for about 1 hour and 30 minutes you are going to get that plus the Opening Titles weren't that bad although they did remind me of Spider-Man a bit. Ultraviolet is like Batman and Robin you know it's bad and dumb and the characters are one note but you enjoy watching it for it's campy side and weird action sequences because if there are people who found Catwoman good then there are people out there as well that found something good about this film and in a way it does it's job perfectly for what it was meant to be. (8/10)

RavenGlamDVDCollector {movie gets a 7, because Milla IS the movie, anyway. Milla herself is not a Ten, but an Eleven, no, an Eleven + ... And I'm sure everybody will agree}I saw the trailer some time ago. Wow, I saw, I wanted. Just for the hell of it, read some reviews, and was dismayed to find that most people didn't like it, that, summed up, the trailer's the best thing about it. I looked at the trailer again with different eyes and spotted lots of warning signs. Yes, a bunch of drawings, computer animations. Movie is most likely going to be not much more, one hell of a disappointment. But, I do collect, after all, and it's Milla Jovovich, the little kid in TWO MOON JUNCTION I had predicted would one day be a star, and then she grew up (delightfully, ever so delightfully, pardon my slavering, I'm only a guy) and was in RETURN TO THE BLUE LAGOON, so, I got me this one, to check out for myself.I'm glad I did.Currently, 4.4? People, come on! It's supposed to look like a graphic novel come to life, with this dazzling heroine, and Milla, bless her cute little heart, fits the bill wonderfully.She's bright and bubbly (and incidentally, I generally hate commentary tracks, but her commentary on the DVD is fun) and then, of course, she is long- limbed and has those wonderful eyes and the glossy hair. Okay, just learned it's a wig. Never mind. I'm talking on-screen presence. Now THAT'S a fantasy heroine. The movie might be in a lesser class than UNDERWORLD and Milla's RESIDENT EVIL, but if there's an IMDb poll where I have to choose the prettiest kick-ass action girl, ULTRAVIOLET would be the main contender. Did I mention those angel eyes and the raven hair with the halo and that the length of those legs measured with a matchstick... Okay, I'll shut up now. Sorry. Like I said, I'm only a guy.What's up with all the religious iconography, the cross motifs? Once they start, they're everywhere, that large building seen from the sky, at the end of corridors...Good idea: Nazi Germany coal-scuttle helmet soldiers wearing gas masks, and later STAR WARS Imperial Stormtroopers, are the very symbol of Fascist oppression. Bad acting: Cameron Bright as Six. Should have been rather a little girl. Like Milla back at the start of her career. Six looked autistic. Six was absolutely sluggish and no fun, not worth the story arc bother, brought the movie down. So too that Nerva guy, had the look, but couldn't act.To sum it up though: The notion that the trailer is better than the movie itself: Well, that has SOME merit, 'cause it's a helluva good- looking trailer. But for Milla fans, for fans of drop dead gorgeous actresses: You need to see this!If you'd go into the movie with a sense of humor, it is a whole lot of entertainment. Okay, the special effects is a lot of drawings, but Milla's not a drawing, and the movie works out a lot better than I expected. Ooh, of course, had it been somebody less attractive in the lead, I'd not have bothered in the first place. But it's model-perfect Milla. Yaaayyy!

Gao Gao I forgot to check the rating and reviews before watching. I just thought "Whoa, a sci-fi movie I didn't see by Equilibrium's director ? Let's watch it !"NO. NEVER. Really. Bad acting. Bad CGI. Bad punchlines. Bad action. Wrong music handling. Wait. Bad music. Hey you know what ? Bad EVERYTHING. Bad movie. Period. The most awful sci-fi/action/whatever movie of all times.Action scenes in this movie are awful. Bad guys kill themselves or commit suicide or just die randomly. CGI are a joke. I even din't know one could pay actual money for this kind of "job". From start to finish, this one is a waste. My first review here, I just had to say something about this and really write black on white the overall nonsense of this.It even has vampires. Equilibrium is a good movie : sometimes we can notice some underlying bad choices about a few details, which is why it's a good movie and not an excellent movie. With Ultraviolet, the director show what he can do without a huge budget and a good crew : wasting my time.But I had fun with the first two minutes, before it collapsed.And I can add :Poor audio mixing, music is way too low (and is poorly composed) - Almost no sound design, most sounds come from free sound banks - Music starts and stops randomly - Epic music can start in the middle of nowhere, when nothing happens - The end is terrible, it's like I handled the 3D myself with my average laptop ! - Explosions are a jokeI'll have to watch another movie now for forgetting this before going to bed.

stormson Let me be perfectly clear: Milla Jovovich is hot. Super hot, with the "it" factor of classic movie stars, but her career careens between obscure small films and big-budget, SFX-laden action spectaculars. Her over-the-top performance in The Messenger was my favorite until I saw the very strange horror/SF/Chinese action hybrid Ultraviolet.How do I compare thee to a summer's day, sweet vampire Violet? I am going out on a limb here to say that our future, filled with disease and terrorism, will not be unlike this movie. In more ways than one, of course. While there may not be any blood-sucking mutants with 12-year life spans on the horizon, we have a rocky road to endure.I like the lead character's incredible cynicism. She may be empathetic (with her relationship to the boy clone "Six") but she cannot love. Milla turns one of the most unoriginal and clichéd female characters into a triumph of future noir pessimism. She is an unstoppable killing machine, of course, this being a necessity of SF-hybrids since the advent of The Matrix (which was a myopic stew of much better genre movie clips). Yet Milla has that amazing something despite having to speak such horrendous, trite dialogue. I would love to write her a movie where the darkness that seems to seep from her very being in almost every role can be completely fulfilled. Perhaps a science fictional Lady Macbeth -? Most of all, Ultraviolet is a vapid detonation of atomic digitalia. More pixels per square centimeter than any other "film" in history. In fact, the movie was shot with digital equipment. I could tell this in the poor resolution, the washed-out images, the incredibly fake effects. True, much of the cityscapes and action set pieces were designed to look like video games (since VG fan boys are the target audience for every Milla Jovovich SF project) but when is faux too faux? How long do we have to put up with film school rejects uploading homemade animations to YouTube becoming Hollywood directors-o-the-moment? Wasn't the Michael Bay era enough of a Dark Age for cinema? Oh wait, it's not over ….George Lucas is to blame. He convinced Brian Singer to use a digital camera for Superman Returns, which lost the VFX Oscar in 2007. He has given tens of millions to USC to raise the next generation of "bedhead" auteurs. Great filmmaking is about vision, about storytelling and wonderful characters, not acres of rendering computers. You can put actors in front of green screens for months and end up with an embarrassing, twitching, limbless Darth Vader lost in digital lava. We do not care about such caricatures. Give me Gone With the Wind or Seven Samurai any day. Remember when directors used real extras and not pixel people in service to epic drama? Ultraviolet ricochets crazily off the walls of the vampire myth and the SF-future depicted in eye candy operas like The Matrix. No amount of CGI done cheaply in Hong Kong can save it from a Hammer Horror fate: cinematic obscurity. Milla's bare midriff and slim but sexy haunches aside, there is nothing to recommend this movie except perhaps the rare moment or two where the character is actually resigned to be human, tears and all. We expect this from our tragedies, our comedies, our histories.In the end, the George Lucas attack- of-the-clone-directors will fade into oblivion and we will still want to watch My Darling Clementine just for the shot of Henry Fonda as Wyatt Earp kicking back on the front porch and squinting into the dusty western street. For film is about such wonderful cinematic moments, not what sounds good projected on someone's widescreen TV.Milla, can you save us -?
