Ultraviolet
Où regarder Ultraviolet
- johnr33925 décembre 2025Ultraviolet, directed by Kurt Wimmer, is one of those movies I somehow avoided for years—mostly because I genuinely thought it was an ad or promo tie-in for the Ultraviolet digital streaming platform. Turns out, no. It’s a real movie. So I finally watched it and… well, I watched it. Milla Jovovich, this generation’s unquestioned B-movie queen, shows up exactly as advertised. She’s sexy, she’s fun, she knows the assignment, and she’s easily the best thing in the film. If you’ve seen one of her B-movie action roles, you’ve seen this one—but that’s not really a knock. She carries the movie as much as anyone possibly could. The problem is everything else. Ultraviolet feels like it was made during that very specific era when Hollywood decided, “We can do CGI now, so let’s make everything CGI.” Sets, environments, transitions—nothing feels grounded. At the time, maybe the visuals looked impressive. Watching it now, though, it mostly looks like bad green screen work you’d expect from a straight-to-YouTube feature, the kind you’d stumble across at 2 a.m. alongside something called Bikini Bandits. The script doesn’t help. For a good chunk of the movie, I genuinely wasn’t sure what Jovovich’s character even was. Assassin? Super-soldier? Enhanced human? Eventually someone just starts calling her a vampire, and I honestly couldn’t tell if I missed an important explanation earlier or if the movie just casually decided to drop that information midstream. Either way, the storytelling is messy and confusing in a way that doesn’t feel intentional or clever. That’s really the theme here: Ultraviolet wants to be cool, stylish, and futuristic, but never quite earns it. The action is serviceable, the aesthetic is loud, and the ambition is there—but it all lands flat. This is B-movie action that you want to be better than it is, but never quite gets there. Nothing special. Not offensively bad. Just another glossy, forgotten mid-2000s action flick carried almost entirely by Milla Jovovich doing exactly what she always does—and doing it better than the movie deserves.
- Richard18 octobre 2025This one had the ingredients for a cult classic: Milla Jovovich as a superhuman rebel, a sleek dystopian world and a virus that turns people into stylish, sword wielding hæmophages. But instead of a genre defining thrill ride, we got a glossy, incoherent mess that feels like a video game cutscene stretched to feature length. The visuals are ambitious, neon-drenched cityscapes, gravity defying stunts, but the CGI hasn’t aged well and the editing chops the action into confusion. The plot tries to juggle bio-politics, maternal instinct and mutant lore, but drops all three. Jovovich looks stunning but seems emotionally checked out and the dialogue is pure exposition soup. There are flashes of brilliance: the concept of self-aware viruses, the idea of a child carrying the cure and the occasional fight choreography that hints at what could’ve been. But it’s buried under style over substance choices and a script that forgot to breathe.
