Ultraviolet *
Cast: Milla Jovovich, Cameron Bright, Nick Chinlund, William Fichtner
Director: Kurt Wimmer
Running Length: 1:25
MPAA Classification: PG-13

Violet (Jovovich) is a Hemophage, infected with a blood sickness. Hemophages are exiled from society and actively hunted down. With the disease though comes extraordinary agility, strength, and dexterity. Violet is the Hemophages' best hope to deal with Daxus (Chinlund), the military leader. Violet's job is to find the doomsday weapon he has created, and destroy it. The doomsday weapon is a child named Six (Bright), and when Violet is unable to kill him, her own people set out to find her too.

"Ultraviolet" is a bad movie. The acting is bad, the special effects are bad, the fight scenes are bad, the dialogue is bad, and even the story itself is less than stellar. These are too many stikes for the film to overcome and whet is left is a laughable mess. Sadly, the opening credits are the most engaging part of the film, and seem to hint at the promise of something good. Do not bother with this movie, even on DVD.
