Movie Reviews of Ultraviolet [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Not even rentable
Summary: 1 Stars
I really wanted to like Ultraviolet. From the writer and director of Equilibrium, Kurt Wimmer creates an alternative future where an ancient virus from Eastern Europe turns ordinary humans into vampires. An Orwellian government, bent of destroying the vampires, creates a weapon that will destroy them all. Milla Jovovich plays the comic-book inspired heroine who was infected with the virus and held for the humans to conduct expirements on her through various tests. The testing nearly kills her, which kills the child in her womb. She is sent by the vampire faction to capture the weapon and destroy it. So this film pretty much failed at everything. The entire story was told in the opening naration, and the rest of it was a series of vivid battles with a variety of uniform enemies with no faces, and no cause for existence. There isn't any story development, and some elements come from nowhere and go nowhere. There are peripheral enemies that are not introduced or explained, and Milla just decimates them, and there is nary mention of them after; there is a love story that lasts all of two lines; there is not a lot more. The acting is terrible, of course they weren't given much dialog to work with either. It seems as if Wimmer took a bunch of different ideas (each of which are interesting) and threw them together into a vomitorium. Even the graphics were sub-par. Some scenes looked amazing, and would make a good Blu-ray Disc reference piece, but the rest of it looked two generations old. The city was a tiled texture, the vehicles were smooth and polygonal, and the fire, smoke and glass (especially in the last scene) didn't even look rendered. I didn't watch this one with expecting much considering its short life in theaters and the really bad review from critics, but I was still disappointed. If you want to watch something on your new high-def TV, this might make for a good view for friends, but otherwise you probably want to avoid it.Movie Review: uh...

i could not agree more with some of the earlier statements. i thought they couldn't make a movie starring milla that i wouldn't watch repetedly...i was wrong. the one positive thing is that this was the first movie i watched on my blu-ray player. i'm telling you that it was visually stunning!! i have watched several movies since and nothing has even come close. you feel like you can just reach out and touch her. that would be a good thing if it weren't for the fact that the story is so, so, so bad that if you could touch her, you would smack her and say "how wasted were you when you read and agreed to do this script?". just so you understand that i am not some pretentious movie fanboy, being overly judgmental... i own and love "island of the alive","dark star","barbarella"...you get the idea.Movie Review: Technically good, bad edition...
Summary: 1 Stars
The movie is bad. the only good thing are the effects and some "new" ideas (quite sure all that was already seen on hongkong).
The whole is technically good, but the edition... lakcs of anything, i asume is the editor the problem and no the director, but is always the posibility that the director gives the poor guy nothing more to put on it!!.
It remember me the first movie of an student. The story may be good, but bad told!!
Movie Review: PG13 Version!!!!!!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I would give this 5 stars but.... I've been double dipped in the worst way! I already own the un-cut DVD that is 7 miniutes longer. I rushed in and bought this as I enjoyed the film and wanted it in Hi-Def , without looking closely at it.
Now I will have to wait for the un-cut Blu Ray! And get treble dipped! NOTE TO SONY:- WHEN YOU PUT THE UN-CUT VERSION ON BLU , THROW US A BONE AND GIVE US SOMTHING EXTRA/NEW PLEASE....
Movie Review: Good Transfer, Who Cares?
Summary: 1 Stars
This is easily one of the worst movies I've ever been unforsightful enough to endure. Why does it matter if it is a perfect transfer or not? If they had a ferfect Blu-Ray transfer in glorious 1080p of a pile of crap, would that warrant 4 stars? I hope not. Well, it is the same situation here, unfortunately. Do yourself a favor, don't waste your time with this embarrassment of cinema.
