Movie Review: Ultraviolet

by Brandon

Action: 9/10
Acting: 7/10
Special Effects: 8/10
Overall Rating: 7/10

The movie starts out with Violet saying "I was born into a world you may not understand." And it goes into a movie that was quite confusing at times.
Violet (Milla Jovovich) was a hemophage which is an enhanced human that has incredible speed and other skills. The government wants to rid the earth of these hemophages. There was a deadly weapon the government was going to use to eliminate all hemophages.

So Violet sets out to retrieve and destroy this “weapon” It turns out to be a young boy called Six (Cameron Bright) who was raised in a laboratory. She was shocked when she realized that she was going to kill a child, because she herself could not have children. So she spent her time protecting the child and trying to make him feel good since he was going to die, or at least that’s what it seemed. I don’t want to tell to much in case you want to go and see the movie.

Ultraviolet was a nice movie; it had great special effects and good actors or actresses. But the story line was hard to follow. It was jumpy and you were easily confused. They impressed the fact that Violet was born into a world you may not understand too much in my opinion. If you like action movies then you should go and see it, or not. You should definitely rent it when it comes out. Not buy though it’s just not buy worthy, well yea it is but still.
