Movie Reviews of Ultraviolet (Unrated, Extended Cut)
Movie Review: Great Sci-Fi
Summary: 5 Stars
An incredible movie reminiscent of The Fifth Element. It's a high-speed roller coaster ride of fast action and great visuals, but it also has much to say about how far reaching our choices can be.
I love this movie and have definitely made it part of my permanent DVD collection.

Summary of Ultraviolet (Unrated, Extended Cut)
As an overdose of eye candy, Ultraviolet can be marginally recommended as the second-half of a double-feature with Aeon Flux. Both films are disposable adolescent fantasies featuring a butt-kicking babe (in this case, the svelte and sexy Milla Jovovich) in a dystopian future, and both specialize in the kind of barely-coherent, video-game storytelling that's constantly overwhelmed by an over-abundance of low-budget CGI. Director Kurt Wimmer fared much better with his earlier film Equilibrium, but he's trying for a lively comic-book vibe here (beginning with Hulk-like opening credits) with a digitally enhanced, Tron-like color palette. It largely suits this late-21st century story of a "blood war" between the ultra-violent Violet (Jovovich), member of a vampire-like group of resistance fighters infected with a man-made virus called the Hemophage, and the human Vice Cardinal Daxus (Nick Chinlund), who's determined to eliminate Violet's kind once and for all. Wimmer takes all of this way too seriously, crafting a plot involving Violet's rescue of a human clone boy (Cameron Bright) that's intended as an homage to John Cassevetes' 1980 drama Gloria, but Wimmer's good intentions are mostly lost in a repetitive series of chaotically choreographed fight scenes, mostly involving the tight-bodied Jovovich wiping out dozens of armor-clad enemies. It's all too numbingly hectic to qualify as a satisfying movie, but sci-fi buffs should give it a look anyway, if only to see how locations in Shanghai and Hong Kong contribute to the film's futuristic design.--Jeff ShannonMilla Jovovich (Resident Evil The Fifth Element) Cameron Bright (X-Men 3) Nick Chinlund (The Legend of Zorro) and William Fichtner (The Longest Yard) star in this theatrical set in the late 21st century a subculture of humans have emerged who have been modified genetically by a vampire-like disease (Hemophagia) giving them enhanced speed incredible stamina and acute intelligence and as they are set apart from "normal" and "healthy" humans the world is pushed to the brink of worldwide civil war (a war between humans and hemophages) 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.System Requirements:Running Runtime 94 MinsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: SCI-FI/FANTASY Rating: UNRATED UPC: 043396153752 Manufacturer No: 15375
