Ultraviolet (2006)

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Captivating movie !

The opening montage was Marvelesque, the visual style was perfect, and Milla Jovovich is as hot as ever. But that's all I can say about the film in a positive tone.I don't mind women in kick-butt roles, but there were several action sequences that looked obviously staged. The action editing seemed to lengthen the move sequences unnecessarily. One can tell when Milla begins or ends a move without trying to look for it.I know Milla and the Director didn't like the studio honcho's stepping in and basically ruining a good role in a potentially good movie by re-imagining the story. But, I'd pass on this one.

It's so cool, because all the scenes of Ultraviolet were fantastic! i remember when Violet is in the blue room to get the briefcase, her action skills were fantastic! And all the edits were awesome and i don't know why this film won a "Worst Film" award. It's so amazing this film does not deserve a 'Worst Film' award, it deserves a "Favorite Movie of 2006" And the scene when Violet is in the library, she is so bad-ass. Because she killed all the soldiers of Daxus. Which is impossible so this movie deserves a big round of applause. And a reasonable award. One time there is a scene of Violet riding in the buildings. Which is so impossible to edit well there they are, they are so good. This is a very must watch movie. Well i remember too the scene when Daxus and Violet fought, it's super cool, i mean they need to shoot it a lot of time cause it's so hard to shoot i mean in the dark? you will shot a movie? It's so HARD TO BELIEVE, but they did it so this movie is so worth the watch especially all the scenes you will watch, is so worth it. I mean it, you will not blink in any scenes of this movie, you will regret it.

I previously enjoyed Kurt Wimmer's sci-fi thriller EQUILIBRIUM, which had an at-his-best Christian Bale rebelling against an emotionless state and kicking lots of backside along the way. ULTRAVIOLET is Wimmer's follow-up, a similar movie with a similar theme: in a futuristic world plagued by a vampire virus, a sole woman rebels against her own side and ends up on the run from pretty much everybody. However, where EQUILIBRIUM excelled in what it set out to do, ULTRAVIOLET is just a big mess – a muddle of clichés, silly ideas, and poor acting that's laughable from the very start.Milla Jovovich seems to be the actress of choice for these B-movie messes; after her 'success' in the RESIDENT EVIL trilogy, filmmakers are crying out for her to kick ass in their own movies. She's not a patch on Bale in Wimmer's previous movie; in fact, she's one of my least favourite actresses and she just doesn't seem to have a clue what acting is all about. Standing around posing and looking cool does not a good actress make! It doesn't help that there are some other terrible performances from cast members like scene-chewing villain Nick Chinlund while other, decent actors like William Fichtner are completely wasted.The story about vampires and viruses and antidotes is all very passé and comes off like a shiny, chromatic variant on the UNDERWORLD silliness. To make matters worse, this film boasts some of the poorest special effects work I've witnessed in my life – absolutely awful CGI cityscapes and rubbishy looking explosions and gunfire. The motorbike chase is hilarious awful and one of the worst things I've ever witnessed in my life. I know the makers of this are trying to pass it off as SIN CITY-inspired comic-book-on-screen mayhem, but it just looks like what it is – amateurish in the extreme. Even the action scenes with their own brand of made-up martial arts called 'gunkata' were done better in EQUILIBRIUM. No, ULTRAVIOLET is a film that's not worth bothering with in the slightest – a poor, uninteresting excuse for a movie.

I really didn't think that I was going to like this movie at first,, I figured it was probably just another girl "hero" movie.. boy was I ever wrong..Milla Jovovich, does a fantastic job in the lead as Violet,, she teaches a young girl she meets some of her tricks and powers,, I like the fact that they touch on O.C.D. for a short while,, because I have it,, only on certain things,, there are tons of great action/ fight scenes, and the moves that our heroine does makes you wonder how did she really do that,, lo'ts of bad guys are on the trail of violet, because the powers that be don't want her to realize her full potential,, I really enjoyed the movie,, would say more about it,, but I don't want to give any of the good stuff away.
