Movie Description
Although the artwork in the opening credits would lead you to believe otherwise, writer/director Kurt Wimmer (EQUILIBRIUM) reportedly based ULTRAVIOLET not on a comic book but on John Cassavetes's 1980 film GLORIA, in which a woman must protect a young boy who is carrying some information sought by the Mafia. In ULTRAVIOLET's mid-21st century, a virus has turned part of the earth's population into "hemophages," vampire-like creatures with heightened speed and dexterity, and a fascist government is intent on stamping them out. Enter Violet (Milla Jovovich), a hemophage determined to fight for her people. Her battle takes an unexpected turn, however, when she finds herself protecting Six (Cameron Bright), a mysterious young child who was raised in a lab.


Tailor-made for young action fans raised on anime and videogames who want nothing more than to see a beautiful heroine leave a path of destruction behind her, ULTRAVIOLET cross-pollinates plot threads from popular franchises like THE MATRIX and UNDERWORLD. Creating a brightly hued, soft-focus environment constructed entirely with CGI and a green screen, ULTRAVIOLET's look is much like SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW (2004). Cementing the reputation she established with similar athletic, minimally clothed roles in THE FIFTH ELEMENT and the RESIDENT EVIL films, Jovovich will go down in the books as a sci-fi femme fatale for the ages. Her Ultraviolet--who inexplicably changes her hair color and outfits seemingly at will--is a lethal melding of Morticia Adams at a rave and KILL BILL's Bride. Pulling off moves that clearly demonstrate the training she underwent for the role, and usually with a bare midriff, she gives her fans plenty to enjoy. Wimmer wisely leaves the door open for further adventures in the saga.

Editorial Reviews
"[T]he colors are almost always incredibly vivid in saturation, often with spot colors of violet, but many scenes are awash in other hues that enhance the fantasy setting and locations."

    There are some innovative fight scenes in this one...love the hair, make-up, costume, attitude....Milla wears it all very well. There are some people that say there is no plot, but there is...most of it is implied, but you get enough to understand the story. We seem to like movies that give it all to us..we are used to it...but this one is more concerned with the present (although the past is clearly explained). A little imagination, a lot of high-tech fight sequences, and one heck of a BMW bike and you have the makings of a great sci-fi chick flick. I'm pretty critical...and I loved it! Oh, there is also a emotional roller-coaster tossed into the loop.. keep your eyes open!

    When I saw this move in the theater I was disappointed. It had some great fight scenes but was lacking in plot. It almost seemed like the creators of this movie just wanted milla to kick butt and look sexy while doing it.

    If one is into SCI-FI movies then this one might not be that bad to own, if you can find it cheap (under $7.50). This way you can watch it once then anytime you feel like seeing a hot chick kick butt fast forward to the fight scenes.
