Review of Ultraviolet (2006) by Kadeemluvmusic — 17 May 2016

To be fair, I still believe in Milla Jovovich and all of her Resident Evil movies. But Ultraviolet, if I could sum it up one thing as one of the worst movies in her career. The reason why I'm sticking with the Unrated DVD version is because Sony's company Screen Gems didn't do a damn job showing how this movie should've been good in the first place.

Instead, they gave me a PG-13 rated version that absolutely makes no sense because this was originally supposed to be an R-rated effort to promote the movie in the style of my favorite cult classic action movies "Equilibrium" (FYI, it was supposed to be a spiritual successor to the film) and adding insult to injury, some of the fight scenes had to be taken out due to time constrainsts and the confusing story which is entirely featured Violet's parents killed by the resistance instead of Violet's demise just absolutely rubbish.

The director of the film did a terrible job along with a use of underutilized CGI special effects that seemed to run its own course and Ultraviolet's backstory is outdated (if you read the novel, that's where she tells the story all by herself).

Even worse, the theatrical version is exactly 88 minutes too short (if you compare to the unrated version which is almost 1 minute). Ultraviolet is less like a video game movie but with little or more than a clone of Tomb Raider.

The Blu-Ray version is also horrendous but sadly it doesn't have any extras. Skip it! Matter of fact, don't even buy this crap in the Wal-Mart bargain bins. After all, one studio's flop is another movie's failure.
