At first glance this looked liike another Aeon Flux type crap. Didn't bother to see trailer for a couple of months and laughed at the ads on the streets. But then I read that it's written/directed by Kurt Wimmer, the guy who made Equillibrium, which I happen to really like. And although 50% or more of the appeal of that movie is Bale, I still went to http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/ultraviolet/hd/ and downloaded the trailer.

And I must say this actually looks decent. It looks like it is at least going to be fun (something which Aeon Flux lacked... man, it was boooring). Sure, some CGI looks blah - seems like producers once again cheaped out on the budget for Wimmer, but if Equillibrium is anything to judge by, it's not gonna be what movie is about and won't be distracting.
Of course, it might still come out to be a turd... But the trailer is certainly worth watching, one of the better ones I've seen lately.
 
Equilibrium was interesting but I don't think I'll bother with Ultraviolet. After watching the trailer it felt like an assault on the senses ala Michael Bay.
 
i don't want to see this movie at all... it looks crappy... i don't like mila jovovavich (sp?) at all... i didn't like her in the resident evil movies and hated her in the fifth element.... i'll pass on this one too

I'm a little confused on a small point... you're trying to say that you don't enjoy mila jovavich?
 
her marrying the dumbshit of a director made me hate her more than anyone. she sucks at acting and shes in the same story over and over again.
 
Hmmm... dumbpoo of a director?

Subway
The Big Blue
Nikita
Leon
Fifth Element

Haven't seen Final Combat, but that's 5 out 5. Doesn't get much better than this... Heck, make it 6 out of 6, because I actually liked Joan of Arc
 
they have in 2005 is wat i heard. either way shes stupid to do that. career is garbage.
 
The preview was like all of the other ones I have seen lately. It seems cool from all of the visual stuff, but I know it is going to suck because I have been burned by so many films that I thought would rule by the trailer, but fall so short in the freature that I loose faith in LIFE itself.
I used to wait for stuff like this one to come out with baited breath, but now...hell, I even recoil at the video store.
IF YOU ARE READING THIS MR. FANCY HOLLYWOOD WRITER; PLEASE PUT THE POINT BACK INTO BIG PRODUCTIONS.
 
Yeah I liked Equilibrium too. It's a good low(er) budget sci-fi/action and I dig what they pulled off. I will back Wimmer for sure after seeing it and will pay my $ to see Ultraviolet. It looks like Equilibrium to the next level, with some killer Gun Kata battles.

I think Milla is cool, and sure she's pigeon-holed in these type roles but who cares (and she has played other roles Dummy, Zoolander, and Dazed and Confused come to mind). I can name tons of actors that played the same role every movie and its the ones where they were on that are classics. She's bound to pull one off well with the right director, and this may be the one. I dig her tunes too.

I'm sure as hell not going to be jaded the rest of my life regarding "cool action sci-fi movies" just because I have seen some bad ones in the past. There are still good filmmakers out there. Can't imagine having so much doubt in cinema, you're filmmakers yourselves...I think you have to back Wimmer and some of the others that have the talent and are getting the chance to compete with the big men.
 
My buddy and I watched this trailer the other day, and the first thing I said was "Wow, this looks a very Equilibrium-esque. Then I found out it was the same guy. Makes sense.

I thought Equilibrium sucked, I thought it was an interesting idea combining Farrenheit 451 and 1984, but I just couldn't get into it. I felt like I've seen it so many times.

One of my hugest problems with Equilibrium was that the cops were looking out for people being over emotional. But Taye Diggs was totally freaking out at the end. Being WAY over emotional, and so was the main bad guy.

Just didn't work for me, and I'll be sure to pass on UV.

Let none of my above slams land on Equalibrium. That movie was very fun to watch and I wished I had seen it in the theatre.
