Ultraviolet (2006)

WATCH the unrated edition ONLY

As the story goes,
Director writes and shoots interesting movie. Spends too much time in the edit bay perfecting it, studio grows impatient at the time it's taking and hires someone to come in and quickly hack together something they can throw into theaters. Thus the theatrical version of this movie is released.

Movie looks cool but story is total crap. Movie Tanks.

Studio decides to throw together an "Unrated Edition" which is really just a cut closer to what the director intended, and you get this edition of the movie, which is 50 times BETTER. The story isn't super-awesome, but it works and is much better. Maybe one day we'll get a true directors cut. August 21, 2008

Ultraviolet - Good movie

Ultraviolet [Blu-ray]

I'm slowly replacing DVD versions of movies I really think would be good to watch in high definition (Blu-ray) and this movie is definitely pretty good visually. Typical special effects but look so much better in Blu-ray.

If You Don't Like Ultraviolet, You Missed the Point

I've seen a buttload of poor reviews for this flick, rendered by critics who seemingly expected something more than Milla Jovovich spinning and pivoting and massacring all comers. These critics obviously don't understand the drooling fans of Milla Jovovich -- we DON'T CARE that the story is aimless, that the pace is dizzying, or that the violence is mindless. It's all about Milla, you dolts. We LOVE her.

So, for those contemplating whether or not to purchase the DVD, I can tell you right now to save your money -- because, if you're still deliberating, you're no fan of Milla Jovovich. Those of us who long ago succumbed to her many, many charms and talents won't think twice about adding this as a PRIZED addition to our MJ collections. It's a beautiful film and a perfect vehicle for Milla's ongoing sci-fi vixen mystique. August 7, 2008

UltraAwful

Terrible. Just another low budget CGI Hollywood action flick crap fest. Only saw the first 1/3 of this junk but that was more than enough. Zero stars. Some of the scenes and stupid dialogue might be funny if your stoned. If you watch mostly stuff like this it does to your brain what a steady diet of mostly candy and McDonald's does to your other organs. July 29, 2008

UltraBluViolet

The story is interesting enough, but this movie is more eye candy than anything else. I consider it one of the best blu-ray movies to show off a nice HD TV, especially if you have a higher contrast ratio. July 21, 2008
