GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The Movie Diorama The all too common trait of "style over substance" strikes again. Except this time there is absolutely no substance in what is an instantly forgettable generic plot. But I'll be damned, what a euphorically surreal ride this was! I'm certain my eyes were bleeding afterwards. A woman infected with a vampiric disease plans to overthrow a futuristic government before her kind are exterminated. How does she do it? Advanced martial arts, obviously! She doesn't just tackle twenty armed individuals atop an imposing needle skyscraper. Oh no, she singlehandedly wrecks an entire army of seven hundred, with just a sword and a plethora of firearms. Only director Wimmer could capture the technique of "Gun Fu" whilst creating a vividly imaginative dystopian environment. Alas, the film is awful. There's no escaping this entirely subjective view. Anyone who watches this will immediately feel nauseated by the obnoxious style Wimmer forces upon us. From low octane inexplicable action sequences to visual effects resembling a retro PlayStation game. The exaggerative aesthetic appeal masquerades a deceptively thin plot with minimal character development and a basic narrative structure. Action, exposition, action, exposition, final showdown, the end. The acting was bland and monotonous, aside from Jovovich who is always a pleasure to watch...and her stomach, where every single frame resembled Darude's 'Sandstorm' music video. Yet, somehow beneath my thick film critiquing skin, I succumbed to the absurdity. Motorcycling through a helicopter mid-air, flaming sword fight, constant hair and clothing colour transitions for no apparent reason, gravity belt for both herself and the motorcycle, "3D me" and technology so outrageously unique that my eyes glistened with delight. Possibly the weirdest film experience ever. So visually blinding, that you begin to question if the horrific style was actually on purpose. Did I really witness a hidden stylised masterpiece? No, don't be stupid. Forgettable and laughably executed. Shame, Jovovich deserves better...

eric262003 With the overly saturated usage of CGI animation, "Ultraviolet" could potentially pass off as sequel to the 1982 classic, "Tron." It's quite obvious as to why Milla Jovovich was intrigued to star in this vehicle. All she had to do was simply abide through green screen and voila! There was really nothing to it. And I mean that in a literal sense. There was really nothing to it except lots of violence and over excessive CGI. I can be more entertained getting out my Playstation and feel more of a sense of seeing anything meaningful than to sit though this movie again which in this case is highly unlikely.At first glance, the lively animation looks very awesome, but then they rapidly start to wear out its welcome to the point where it begins to be overwhelmingly aggravating. By the first five minutes it becomes clear that the movie was clearly intended for two types of audience members: one for the fans of the science-fiction genre and the second for those who have short attention spans. Jovovich stars as Violet who has an illness called hemoglophagia which gives her super human strength which makes a hemophage who must protect a boy names Six (Cameron Bright) as she goes into battle against strange humanoid minions led by the evil Ferdinand Daxus (Nick Chinlund) who seem to wear weird looking salt shaker tubes up their nostrils. Even though it pans off as a simple and by-the-numbers sci-fi action film, "Ultraviolet" has a reputation of being both complex when it really shouldn't and very repetitive in its action scenes. And while Violet looks sexy in her leather-clad apparel and her Veronica Lodge hairdo, we have to truly care about the characters both heroes and villains to get a better understanding of them to really invest into this movie. In the nearly 90 minute film, Violet in green-screen glory, is battling Daxus' hordes of minions who look tough and menacing from eye reach, but then thy just stand there like numbskulls and wind up getting decapitated. Where's the challenge? Because of its PG-13 rating, we don't see any bloodshed. Unless it was from a distance so that the kids watching won't run from the theaters. It must've been a hefty budget to make this movie due to the amount of special effects utilized. If that's not enough, writer/director Kurt Wimmer hires a greener than an evergreen young thespian like Cameron Bright, who seems dazed and expressionless the whole time through. I often wondered if this Six character was a human or a cyborg? In the end what difference does it make?For Wimmer there was very little in scripting to even care what was happening. There are some shades of "Minority Report" touches in this dystopian society all the video game come-to-life action emanates. In this world there only appears to be three occupations you can pursue: either an evil corrupt corporate executive, a scientist, or an enforcer. Sure that may sound simple, but the dialogue unashamedly is anything but. There's a plethora of high-tech incoherent gibbering about antigens, antidotes and little manifestations that if you take their whole diatribe seriously and try to make sense of it, you will likely give yourself a migraine. It tries to have that same aura as that of "The Matrix", but it's nowhere near that classic film series. The first fifteen minutes were very captivating, but after a while, it just gets done to death and all the originality gets drained out making the movie quite uneventful. You have a platoon full of baddies surrounding Violet and with her powerful sword annihilates them in one swipe or a few shots of gunfire. I'm guessing, being an enforcer is the hardest job there is.The ending is very convoluted as were invited to a flaming sword battle taking place in the dark which feels like there's a bit of "Highlander" going for it only less exciting and dramatic. In spite of the film gratuitous violence and coarse language, "Ultraviolet" is anything but an eventful night out for anyone. Between the overdone action sequences and the over abundance of CGI and very little character development, this movie has every chance of winning the Oscars as Wimpy from Popeye's gives up hamburgers.

Floated2 Very few films have came and went through different processes in the film editing room. Ultraviolet may have suffered due to this. Ultraviolet is quite a fantasy type and stylish similar copy of the Matrix films, Underworld films, and has a feel as the X-Men films. Though this film is not as quality as those films. Ultraviolet is quite unique and original to watch but overall the film doesn't offer much in terms of plot.Stylish and visually creative to look at, one of the redeeming factors is the look and presence of Milla Jovovich. Sporting slim and tight attires, and different sorts of wig's, she has the proper look in a CGI filled film as this. Ultraviolet as a film is disappointing compared to director Kurt Wimmer's previous film Equilibrium, as one can tell the similarities between the two. However, that film had a better meaning, comic relief, overall plot, was more suspenseful, and was more entertaining and interesting throughout. Although Ultraviolet is quite forgettable, it's simply a mindless action film. Don't expect too much.

LeonLouisRicci Before You get on board the "Trash It" Train, be Advised that this is NOT the Movie Director Kurt Wimmer or Milla Jovovich made or wanted Released. Wimmer Delivered a 120 Minute, "R" Rated Film. The Studio said "No Way", took it, Edited and Reduced it to an 88 Minute, "PG-13". WoW...No Chance of Survival.This is the Result. Almost all of the Coherency and Power is Lost and what is Found are Cool Looking Snippets of Film that is Straddling the Line between Neo/Post CGI. Some of the Unrealistic Backgrounds, Cityscapes, and such were made to Look Like Anime or Comic-Book "Real" on Purpose to give it a Surreal Pop-Art Quality.The Glazing of the Faces and Skin were also done for that reason. It does render the Movie with a Parallel Dimension Feel. The Techno Soundtrack might not be that Great and by now has an all Too-Familiar Vibe, it Works for what it is.The Story Suffers from the Editing Abomination and has no way of Recovering, and the Continuity, Consistency of the Flow is Stifled Beyond Repair. The only thing left to Admire is Milla's Costumed Body and the Painted Palette of Computer Art, and some Clever Camera Tricks. Those are Enough to make it Worth a Watch and the Movie should be Cut Some Slack, because although it was Butchered Badly, You can still Get a Glimpse of what Might Have Been. And What Might Have Been, Might Have Been...Ultra Cool.
