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.

{movie gets a 7, because Milla IS the movie, anyway. Milla herself is not a Ten, but an Eleven, no, an Eleven + ... And I'm sure everybody will agree}I saw the trailer some time ago. Wow, I saw, I wanted. Just for the hell of it, read some reviews, and was dismayed to find that most people didn't like it, that, summed up, the trailer's the best thing about it. I looked at the trailer again with different eyes and spotted lots of warning signs. Yes, a bunch of drawings, computer animations. Movie is most likely going to be not much more, one hell of a disappointment. But, I do collect, after all, and it's Milla Jovovich, the little kid in TWO MOON JUNCTION I had predicted would one day be a star, and then she grew up (delightfully, ever so delightfully, pardon my slavering, I'm only a guy) and was in RETURN TO THE BLUE LAGOON, so, I got me this one, to check out for myself.I'm glad I did.Currently, 4.4? People, come on! It's supposed to look like a graphic novel come to life, with this dazzling heroine, and Milla, bless her cute little heart, fits the bill wonderfully.She's bright and bubbly (and incidentally, I generally hate commentary tracks, but her commentary on the DVD is fun) and then, of course, she is long- limbed and has those wonderful eyes and the glossy hair. Okay, just learned it's a wig. Never mind. I'm talking on-screen presence. Now THAT'S a fantasy heroine. The movie might be in a lesser class than UNDERWORLD and Milla's RESIDENT EVIL, but if there's an IMDb poll where I have to choose the prettiest kick-ass action girl, ULTRAVIOLET would be the main contender. Did I mention those angel eyes and the raven hair with the halo and that the length of those legs measured with a matchstick... Okay, I'll shut up now. Sorry. Like I said, I'm only a guy.What's up with all the religious iconography, the cross motifs? Once they start, they're everywhere, that large building seen from the sky, at the end of corridors...Good idea: Nazi Germany coal-scuttle helmet soldiers wearing gas masks, and later STAR WARS Imperial Stormtroopers, are the very symbol of Fascist oppression. Bad acting: Cameron Bright as Six. Should have been rather a little girl. Like Milla back at the start of her career. Six looked autistic. Six was absolutely sluggish and no fun, not worth the story arc bother, brought the movie down. So too that Nerva guy, had the look, but couldn't act.To sum it up though: The notion that the trailer is better than the movie itself: Well, that has SOME merit, 'cause it's a helluva good- looking trailer. But for Milla fans, for fans of drop dead gorgeous actresses: You need to see this!If you'd go into the movie with a sense of humor, it is a whole lot of entertainment. Okay, the special effects is a lot of drawings, but Milla's not a drawing, and the movie works out a lot better than I expected. Ooh, of course, had it been somebody less attractive in the lead, I'd not have bothered in the first place. But it's model-perfect Milla. Yaaayyy!

I 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.

I'm not agree with most of the reviews about this movie..i liked it...OK... so the special effects are a bit a bit adventurous in the beginning with the motorcycles scenes...and for such a visual film they were lacking..but the rest of it looks great...the plot i thought revealed itself well...MB some didn't watch enough to get it...personally i don't like films that give it all away in the beginning...its really all about violet ..her journey...and then the story revolves around that...but its entertaining...its not gory like kill bill...which kinda takes away from the realism of the fight scenes ...its not perfect ...but its not bad either...and these days with all the woman superheroes it equates itself OK
