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 Shannon

Now come on now this movie is not bad I mean who knows what the future might be like if there was something like that with all those advanced Technology. And looking at this movie takes me out of my world and puts me into this interesting fictional world. I liked the movie aeon Flux but I like ultraviolet more. I mean the way she fought was awesome.

I brought this movie at a 99 cent store because i confused it with Aeon Flux.
Despite all the blood gore and killing i found this movie to be very boring.

The story was exciting; the action scenes were gorgeous; the special effects and scenery were lovely. Yes, it was all rather surreal, but that quality was well-maintained throughout the movie and therefore seemed consistent and natural. The thrill of watching the fight scenes, which were obviously designed not to be a gorefest but a sophisticated, synchronized and deadly dance. I recommend this to anyone who likes to see a movie that is beautiful, stunning and also leaves the watcher with something to think about.

Ultraviolet is the ultimate science fiction/comic book hero. The action sequences outdo the skills and camera work of "The Matrix" and "Kill Bill" with Milla Jovovich giving her best performance to date. She is the "Titan...the Monolith" in an underground society fighting to save a young boy, and the people of earth from a heartless ruling class. The cinemaphotography is excellent as are the action shots. It's a classic science fiction/comic book action thriller that is easily watched over and over.
 great sci fi movie November 18, 2009
