"Ultraviolet" One Line Review!

This could be in the top 10 worst films of all time, the only redeeming quality is the constant showing of Milla Jovovich's midriff.

Visually, this film strains the eyes like an unending neon kaleidoscope. Mentally, this film strains the brain like a science paper written by a 6th grade special ed student. Avoid at all costs.

This movie had about 5 minutes of entertaining fight scenes...the rest was just overused computer graphics that looked like garbage, also there was absolutely no character development which left you asking "what the heck just happened?"

Quite possibly the worst attempt at "entertainment" in the history of cogent human thought. From beginning to end and in every aspect of the production this movie was an utter failure of storytelling. Lame voiceover. Poor special effects. Quite possibly the worst attempt at "entertainment" in the history of cogent human thought. From beginning to end and in every aspect of the production this movie was an utter failure of storytelling. Lame voiceover. Poor special effects. Terrible acting. Terrible sets. Incoherent plot. Idiotic dialogue and moronic character relationships. There is so much more to criticize, but I think the less said about this train wreck the better. Movie execs need to realize that you can create a great, fun, AND logical action movie. Investment in the story, not simply more green screen and cgi effects, must be made. Alas, good stories involve a modicum of intelligence; a commodity woefully lacking in Hollywood. Oh well - I am sure "Ultraviolet II: The Revioleting" is in the pipeline!… Expand

Don't let my rating fool you, this movie is horrible, I mean REALLY horrible. My rating is based on the fact that I had a blast watching it in the theater and laughing at it. I kid you not, the final fight scene takes place in pitch dark. I guess they burned through their special effects budget showing the same 5 idiotic looking 'troupers' getting mowed down again and again. The plot goes beyond nonsensical; the main character's motivations are completely inscrutable. Early in the movie she claims she 'hate's all humans' and wants to kill them all. Five minutes later (seriously, I'm not exaggerating here) she's massacring every vampire she can find, including some that were previously her friends and compatriots to protect a human child who's going to die in a couple of hours anyway. If you've ever gotten a kick out of watching a truly terrible piece of cinema with some friends I whole-heartedly recommend this movie. But if you're expecting a serious movie avoid it all costs. It is terrible, as in 'it might give you leprosy' terrible.… Expand

Uwe Boll may not have been able to do a better job, but you certainly couldn't tell that this is from the same guy who directed the stellar Equilibrium. Having just seen this poor excuse of a film, I am extremely disappointed with Kurt Uwe Boll may not have been able to do a better job, but you certainly couldn't tell that this is from the same guy who directed the stellar Equilibrium. Having just seen this poor excuse of a film, I am extremely disappointed with Kurt Wimmer's followup to that film, which had an imaginative pedigree of deep sci-fi, top-notch actors, and intense gun/sword fights. This film has anything but. First of all, when the awfully rendered CGI is capable of taking you completely OUT of a sci-fi film, (helicoptor/motorcycle chase scene, anyone?) you know things have went horribly wrong. Couple that with an overly elaborate and non sensical plot involving vampires? and a creepy mute kid who may (or may not) be the savior of the universe, then you know the director is grasping for something, anything to make this movie a stand-out in the unfortunate (Thanks Alien!) age of the now tired trend of kick butt heroines in the Tomb Raider/Resident Evil/Aeon Flux/Elektra vein. Do your self a favor folks, just wait for it to hit the Wal-Mart DVD clearance bin, which is where it'll be headed to in about a year. Sorry to say, but this is one of the worst films in recent memory that I have actually paid money for. Stay away!… Expand

I loved "Equilibrium". I heard all of the negative press concerning "Ultraviolet" going in, but despite it all, i kept telling myself "this is the guy who made EQUILIBRIUM.

I heard all of the negative press concerning "Ultraviolet" going in, but despite it all, i kept telling myself "this is the guy who made EQUILIBRIUM. I will give it a fighting chance". It saddens me to say that, for the most part, all of the bad stuff that you've heard concerning "ULTRAVIOLET" is true. Part of the blame falls on Milla Jovavich. We have to face it: She is no Christian Bale. She just does not possess the acting skills to carry a film. She's damned pretty to look at, but man, was that performance terrible. Another part of the problem seemed to be that director Wimmer was attempting to take all of the elements that worked in "Equilibrium", and then amp them up to the EXTREME. He sort of "TEMPLE OF DOOMED" this one, by going TOOO far with everything. The action is quite often incoherent, and some of the CGI is horrid. The epic one-liners are just cheesy. And there seems to be more logical reason that these people had to be VAMPIRES. That NEVER ONCE plays into the story. A missed element, or a pointless one, i don't know. That's not to say this movie is COMPLETELY without redemption. The colouring looks GREAT, and there are some neat gadgets for scifi fanatics (love those disposable phones! And as someone else mentioned: DIMENSION COMPRESSION!). I'll be honest, though. Coming from the guy who gave us EQUILIBRIUM, this was a huge disappointment overall. Maybe next time, Kurt!… Expand

That being said, this movie could have been as good as Aeonflux if the writer had not grafted a chick-flick into the middle of what should have been a pure sci-fi action movie. I'm OK with two-dimension characters and pointless violence, really I am. Note to writers: Don't feel compelled by some unfathomable need to please the media critics by making a movie with a "message". Just make an entertaining movie and stick to the basics. (See Quintin for details) If I wanted to see a chick-flick I'd have gone to one, but when you advertise a movie like Sony did Ultarviolet as ultraviolent, then that's what I expect. In the trailer I saw, the child was not shown nor mentioned once. That's false advertising and that's unforgivable. Had it not been for my compulsive obsession with Milla, this movie would have gotten an even lower score. But I will still buy the DVD and watch it again...mute on.… Expand

Some of the sci-fi-ness and gadgets are cool, but that can't make a film any good. The best review on this page said the movie was "clearly designed for horny teenaged video game wizards," That is me in a nutshell, and not the scifi, not the T nor the A are enough to make this movie at all appealing.

But Ultraviolet, if I could sum it up one thing as one of the worst movies in her career. The reason why I'm sticking with the Unrated DVD version is because Sony's company Screen Gems didn't do a damn job showing how this movie should've been good in the first place. Instead, they gave me a PG-13 rated version that absolutely makes no sense because this was originally supposed to be an R-rated effort to promote the movie in the style of my favorite cult classic action movies "Equilibrium" (FYI, it was supposed to be a spiritual successor to the film) and adding insult to injury, some of the fight scenes had to be taken out due to time constrainsts and the confusing story which is entirely featured Violet's parents killed by the resistance instead of Violet's demise just absolutely rubbish. The director of the film did a terrible job along with a use of underutilized CGI special effects that seemed to run its own course and Ultraviolet's backstory is outdated (if you read the novel, that's where she tells the story all by herself). Even worse, the theatrical version is exactly 88 minutes too short (if you compare to the unrated version which is almost 1 minute). Ultraviolet is less like a video game movie but with little or more than a clone of Tomb Raider. The Blu-Ray version is also horrendous but sadly it doesn't have any extras. Skip it! Matter of fact, don't even buy this crap in the Wal-Mart bargain bins. After all, one studio's flop is another movie's failure.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Proof that impulse buying really isn't a good habit. Ultraviolet is like Kill Bill, without the blood or the potty-mouth. The characters are wooden, the graphics were dated even in 2006, and for some reason the camera was shaky in the ALL-CGI PARTS. I liked Violet's costume, and the effect of her hair and clothes changing colours, while Six's was a bit stereotypical for a sci-fi movie (all-silver clothing. Come on Kurt, really?) and... what's his name, the bad guy, with SILVER PLUGS IN HIS NOSE... ugh. I hope he never lives it down! There are a couple of plotholes: for one, the movie's over, but now Violet is going to die offscreen and Six will probably kick the bucket sometime soon due to Violet turning him into a hemophage. Also, the bad guy was a clean freak. WHY? He was a hemophage ALL ALONG, he didn't need to act like he was uber paranoid about the virus. Speaking of which, HOW HAS HE LIVED FOR SO LONG? He was the first person to be infested with the virus! Christ! Now, i've given this movie 3 for a couple reasons: I have the DVD version, which includes a commentary. It gets a bit dull sometimes, but Milla is one of the better commentators. She shared stories about on the set, she cracked a few jokes, she named a few techniques you see in the film. Very fun. Also, the paper phone was cool. I liked how they had phones made of paper; very cool. I bought this on an impulse, and it was the worst $9 I ever spent. Borrow it from someone if you can, or buy it for under $5; it's all it's worth.… Expand
