Pros: watching Milla Jovovich run around in something more seductive than the little dress that she wore in Resident Evil.

Cons: too much bad blue screen work

“I was born into a world that you might not understand” pretty much starts and finishes this movie. But, after watching it I was left asking myself whether anyone really would want to understand it and I felt as though I had been cheated out of 94 minutes of my life. Ultra Violet proves that you can have to much of a good thing. The blue screen work really got to be to much. There were a couple of times that I found myself wandering whether or not I was looking at a digital rendering of Milla Jovovich or if that was really her. And when the CGI renderings begin looking like console games from the 1990’s, there is a problem. Not to mention that in a few places, the effects didn’t flow together at all. I wonder if fine actors/actresses like Ms. Jehovah or Mr. Fechtner bothered to read the script before signing on. If they did, I suggest that they invest in someone to read the scripts for them because even though the concept was great, the script was filled with bad one-liners and huge voids in storyline. I will admit that the opening sequence had me thinking, “Man, this is going to be awesome.” However after that opening sequence, the whole movie seemed like a let down, ripped-off copy of Aeon Flux, which wasn‘t that hot either. Don’t get me wrong, the DVD has it’s uses despite the dismal lack of a special features selection that is worth viewing. It made a nice coaster. Maybe a Frisbee? A bicycle training wheel? Or, if you just want to she Milla Jovovich run around in something more seductive than the little dress that she wore in Resident Evil.
