The film Ultraviolet is a great premise and has some props here and there but it's a near complete failure of a film. WHY? Because of the studio that green light this movie. Information has been exposed that writer/director Kurt Wimmer's vision of the film was cut by the studio by over 30 minutes, 30 minutes that are actually very important to the story, characters and action. So wait for this film to come out on DVD, because the shorten 88 minute verison of the film will totally disappoint everyone. Give this film a chance, when the director's cut comes out, I will Milla Jovovich was very sexy and bad ass in this film, hopefully she will continue to do such films.

Wait for the director's cut!
Not for everyone
Beautiful woman. A skeletal good vs. evil premise. The rest, all predictable action (how could the vampire/hemophage heroine do anything less than kill hundreds of people to save a young boy?). I'm so glad they told us, at the end of the credits, that all characters are fiction. Violent but gore free. Colourful CGI. Lots of stunt work. Definitely not for everyone but I enjoyed it. Judging the movie within its genre, I give it a 7 (good) out of 10. {Fantasy, Comic Book like Action}
Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet is an ultraviolent Gun Kata fantasy action film with a plot that is pants.
Director Kurt Wimmer has made a cold futuristic thriller like Equilibrium. The latter at least had Christian Bale as the lead and it was a homage to The Matrix.
Ultraviolet has Milla Jovovich who is no Bale and this movie aspires to be like the Underworld films.
The story set in a totalitarian society. There are a vampire like hemophages who were infected in a global epidemic which has given them increased human abilities and a reduced lifespan. Ultraviolet (Milla Jovovich) is a hemophages. She has been tasked to steal a secret weapon that can destroy all hemophages. This turns out to be a small boy. Ultraviolet refuses to kill him and hopes that the boy can used instead to cure hemophages.
A militant medical group headed by Daxus wants the boy and kill Ultraviolet.
It is an indecipherable plot that is style over substance and the visual effects look green screened to hell. At times the film looks like a low budget badly edited cartoon.
