So I was a bit disappointed with the film the plot was weak, the graphics terrible and the soundtrack....well none the less! Can we all just take a moment to appreciate Milla's rather sexy midriff? It's not normally something that would catch my attention! For me that is the best part of the film and sadly would be the reason I ever rewatched this....
... View MoreI am at a loss for words.. Direction is pretty nice, screenplay very well and also a good story- line. Acting is thrilling to the extreme.. Hats off to Jovovich. Her iconic performance as Violet will someday enter history books. Its one of her illustrious heroine performances that I will never forget.. Jovovich plays a free spirited heroine who will stop at nothing to protect a child for whom she cares. I cried hysterically towards the end. Also the punch dialogues are executed in a state-of-the-art manner by Jovovich. In the end, we feel that we have been avenged.. A marvellous classic and the best classic action movie I've ever seen. Nowadays astounding action movies like this are rare. Please, do not miss this exotic gem........
... View MoreI forgot to check the rating and reviews before watching. I just thought "Whoa, a sci-fi movie I didn't see by Equilibrium's director ? Let's watch it !"NO. NEVER. Really. Bad acting. Bad CGI. Bad punchlines. Bad action. Wrong music handling. Wait. Bad music. Hey you know what ? Bad EVERYTHING. Bad movie. Period. The most awful sci-fi/action/whatever movie of all times.Action scenes in this movie are awful. Bad guys kill themselves or commit suicide or just die randomly. CGI are a joke. I even din't know one could pay actual money for this kind of "job". From start to finish, this one is a waste. My first review here, I just had to say something about this and really write black on white the overall nonsense of this.It even has vampires. Equilibrium is a good movie : sometimes we can notice some underlying bad choices about a few details, which is why it's a good movie and not an excellent movie. With Ultraviolet, the director show what he can do without a huge budget and a good crew : wasting my time.But I had fun with the first two minutes, before it collapsed.And I can add :Poor audio mixing, music is way too low (and is poorly composed) - Almost no sound design, most sounds come from free sound banks - Music starts and stops randomly - Epic music can start in the middle of nowhere, when nothing happens - The end is terrible, it's like I handled the 3D myself with my average laptop ! - Explosions are a jokeI'll have to watch another movie now for forgetting this before going to bed.
... View MoreRight 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.
