Simply A Masterpiece

Great Film overall

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

The opening montage was Marvelesque, the visual style was perfect, and Milla Jovovich is as hot as ever. But that's all I can say about the film in a positive tone.I don't mind women in kick-butt roles, but there were several action sequences that looked obviously staged. The action editing seemed to lengthen the move sequences unnecessarily. One can tell when Milla begins or ends a move without trying to look for it.I know Milla and the Director didn't like the studio honcho's stepping in and basically ruining a good role in a potentially good movie by re-imagining the story. But, I'd pass on this one.

Ultraviolet is creative bankruptcy incarnate: a soulless movie masquerading as an adaptation of a non-existent comic book. Even on its own merits the film is a shameless rip-off of X-Men, Aeon-Flux and Kill Bill's fight choreography and adds nothing new to the table. It's pretty damn worthless. Milla Jovovich is trying to channel Charlize Theron and Uma Thurman; but has even MORE lifelessness in her performance than Scarlett Johanson's Lucy. I know that Lucy was made further down the track, but Jovovich is basically saying the lines here like Johanson was with Lucy: just as dull and just as devoid of character. When she cries it's just that: crying without any real meaning to it. The production value means well, given that this film was shot in then-new- innovator-of-film-recording: high-definition digital video. Besides the sometimes well-shot and planned fight scenes, the story is underwhelming the characters bland the action otherwise by the numbers even during the important moments, and damn the music is just typical we-can-still-make-this-work fanfare that is instantly forgettable.I never saw it when it first came out, but now that I have thanks to Netflix, Jesus Christ is it bad.

It's so cool, because all the scenes of Ultraviolet were fantastic! i remember when Violet is in the blue room to get the briefcase, her action skills were fantastic! And all the edits were awesome and i don't know why this film won a "Worst Film" award. It's so amazing this film does not deserve a 'Worst Film' award, it deserves a "Favorite Movie of 2006" And the scene when Violet is in the library, she is so bad-ass. Because she killed all the soldiers of Daxus. Which is impossible so this movie deserves a big round of applause. And a reasonable award. One time there is a scene of Violet riding in the buildings. Which is so impossible to edit well there they are, they are so good. This is a very must watch movie. Well i remember too the scene when Daxus and Violet fought, it's super cool, i mean they need to shoot it a lot of time cause it's so hard to shoot i mean in the dark? you will shot a movie? It's so HARD TO BELIEVE, but they did it so this movie is so worth the watch especially all the scenes you will watch, is so worth it. I mean it, you will not blink in any scenes of this movie, you will regret it.

Right from the start, I liked this film! First of all, the illustrations at the beginning have the quality of DC 's "Batman - The Dark Knight" by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson. The atmosphere reminds me a bit of "Sin City". The action and martial arts scenes are a combination of "The Matrix" and "Equilibrium" (gunkata)! Obviously, this being a Milla Jovovich film, also means that she frequently changes her outfit. Apparently, all this combined inspired the makers to step up a little on the special effects. In any of the above-mentioned films, that might have looked over the top or even ridiculous, but in this film I liked it! I would easily have given this film a higher mark, if the storyline had been less predictable.
