Review of Ultraviolet (2006) by Mrmallard — 08 Apr 2012

Proof that impulse buying really isn't a good habit. Ultraviolet is like Kill Bill, without the blood or the potty-mouth. The characters are wooden, the graphics were dated even in 2006, and for some reason the camera was shaky in the ALL-CGI PARTS.

I liked Violet's costume, and the effect of her hair and clothes changing colours, while Six's was a bit stereotypical for a sci-fi movie (all-silver clothing. Come on Kurt, really?) and... what's his name, the bad guy, with SILVER PLUGS IN HIS NOSE.

.. ugh. I hope he never lives it down! There are a couple of plotholes: for one, the movie's over, but now Violet is going to die offscreen and Six will probably kick the bucket sometime soon due to Violet turning him into a hemophage.

Also, the bad guy was a clean freak. WHY? He was a hemophage ALL ALONG, he didn't need to act like he was uber paranoid about the virus. Speaking of which, HOW HAS HE LIVED FOR SO LONG? He was the first person to be infested with the virus! Christ! Now, i've given this movie 3 for a couple reasons: I have the DVD version, which includes a commentary.

It gets a bit dull sometimes, but Milla is one of the better commentators. She shared stories about on the set, she cracked a few jokes, she named a few techniques you see in the film. Very fun. Also, the paper phone was cool.

I liked how they had phones made of paper; very cool. I bought this on an impulse, and it was the worst $9 I ever spent. Borrow it from someone if you can, or buy it for under $5; it's all it's worth.
