Trailer Mix: Ultraviolet
Oh, Milla Jovovich … you are truly the poster child for mindless action flicks. First, there’s the Resident Evil series. Now you’re switching from zombies to vampires in the film Ultraviolet. Where will it all end?
Hell, I don’t care. It’s mindless fun.
The trailer for Ultraviolet indicates that this is not exactly going to be a work of art. Jovovich plays a character named Violet, who has some super—say, even ultra—abilities because of a vampire-like virus that has been used to create supersoldiers (what a novel idea!). Of course, then those soldiers become a threat, so the government decides to eradicate them and now Violet must fight for her life. Think of it as a cross between Angel and Dark Angel. Although I don’t think she actually sucks blood.
At any rate, the voiceover is pure camp and I’m pretty sure the plot will be shallow and riddled with bullet holes, but I’d be lying if it didn’t look like there might be some pretty cool action sequences in the movie.
And really, except for a bit of skin, I think that’s all we’ve come to expect from Milla. And I’m OK with that. ![]()

Didn’t this movie just come out except that this time they’re sticking with a natural dark-haired beauty? This movie seems to basically be Aeon Flux without the shallow, cursory attempt at summing up several seasons of storylines into one movie. Which leaves us with “hot, dark-haired, spurned, female assassin wails seeks revenge on the company/government which “created” her”. To sum up: No plot in action movie = good, Milla Jovovich = good, large quantities of butt kicking = good. I’m giving it an early two thumbs up.
