In the late 21st century, a subculture of humans have emerged who have been modified genetically by a vampire-like disease, giving them enhanced speed, incredible stamina and acute intelligence. As they are set apart from "normal" and "healthy" humans, the world is pushed to the brink of worldwide civil war aimed at the destruction of the "diseased" population. In the middle of this crossed-fire is - an infected woman - Ultraviolet, who finds herself protecting a nine-year-old boy who has been marked for death by the human government as he is believed to be a threat to humans.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

So I was a bit disappointed with the film the plot was weak, the graphics terrible and the soundtrack....well none the less! Can we all just take a moment to appreciate Milla's rather sexy midriff? It's not normally something that would catch my attention! For me that is the best part of the film and sadly would be the reason I ever rewatched this....

This movie is supposed to be stylish and crap, but honestly, the special effects are really very hokey. The effects just weren't exciting at all! And the fight sequences were really bad and boring, just fake looking. That was really disappointing, I mean come on, if you can't write a decent script or get good acting out of the cast members, the cool looking effects is really all you've got left to work in your favor, but nope this movie even failed at that. And oh dear lord, the acting was atrocious, simply atrocious, Mila and all the rest of the cast was awful, and has virtually NO on screen chemistry. Mila might've looked the part, but she just couldn't act worth anything in this film, fake, cheesy and completely phoned in. The dialogue between the characters was actually pretty deep and well written. Hahaha. Just kidding. No no no, the dialogue was absolutely without a doubt horrible. This movie has one of the most cliché scripts I've ever seen in my entire life. And in some of the action sequences, that is if you can even call them that, so much incoherent fake looking crap is going on, that you can't even tell what's happening. This movie is just so unbelievably convoluted and half the time doesn't even make much sense. I guess Ultraviolet is just one more example of a cliché cheesy action film that just utterly fails in every way possible.

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.

'Ultraviolet' is an odd film to describe. Many would probably just say 'rubbish,' but I think that's a little harsh (just a little, though). I read that the studio didn't like the final cut and re-edited it from two hours to less than ninety minutes. This – apparently – made it more 'action orientated,' taking out the emotion and storytelling aspects of the tale. The tale. It's set in the future during a war between humans and vampires (although they're called 'hemo-phages' or something).Mila Jovovich plays the titular character who's a vampire (I'm just going to call them vampires from now on), intent on stopping the 'evil' humans from wiping her kind out. However, when she's ordered to kill a child, crucial to the wicked humans' plans, she refuses and turns on... well, pretty much everyone.It's never really explained how Violet gets her – borderline superhuman – powers. She seems to find it pretty easy to wipe out huge armies of armed soldiers without breaking sweat. She just does. It's things like this, not to mention a few blatantly humorous lines, that make me wonder whether this film was supposed to be a bit 'tongue-in-cheek.' However, there's not enough humour in it to really show that it's supposed to not be taken seriously. For the most part it's played straight, forcing you to suspend your disbelief more than you ever have in order to believe what's happening before your eyes.But it's not all bad. Despite the new Playstation 2 special effects (seriously... some of the backdrops look like they're straight out of a computer game's 'cut scenes'), the sets are actually quite well-designed and colourful. It certainly does have its own 'look' and is quite atmospheric when it's at its best.I wonder whether Ultraviolet was supposed to be the start of some sort of franchise that never took off – something like the Resident Evil or Underworld series. Basically, it could have been at least fun, if it knew what it was. But the plot is just 'tell not show.' The characters say things that are blatantly there to just let us – the audience – know what's happening. The fight scenes are cool and Milla is possibly even sexier than ever. So, if all you're looking for is hot girls killing hordes of bad-guys then you'll find what you're looking for here. Anything deeper and you'll be left wanting more. Much, much more.
