Ultraviolet (film)

Ultraviolet is a 2006 American science fiction action film written and directed by Kurt Wimmer and produced by Screen Gems.

The film stars Milla Jovovich as Violet Song, Cameron Bright as Six, and Nick Chinlund as Ferdinand Daxus.

With her advanced martial arts skills, a group of rebel hemophages, and a boy named Six, whose blood may contain a cure for the disease, Violet goes on a mission to overthrow the futuristic government and defeat Ferdinand Daxus.

[4] In the mid-21st century, an accident occurs in an illegal U.S. biotechnological laboratory, where they tried to create super-soldiers to subjugate and exterminate the third world, Palestine in particular, but the project goes horribly wrong.

As a result, part of the Earth's population becomes infected with a virus that overwrites and replaces DNA, mutating into hemophages, creatures with vampire fangs that are stronger, faster and smarter than humans, but have very short lifespans due to genetic unravelling.

As law enforcement agencies are unable to stop the infection, sovereign nations collapse, human rights are abolished, and due to the state of emergency on the planet, the remaining governments, having slid into fascism, establish the ArchMinistry, a powerful corporation and joint world government that usurps the United Nations and World Health Organization.

However, the 9-year-old boy Six turns out to be in the weapons container – a clone of Vice Cardinal Ferdinand Daxus (who was appointed President of Earth) and a carrier of a virus dangerous for hemophages.

Director Kurt Wimmer then visited several message boards and demanded all clips be removed in order to keep the film's plot a secret.

[10] Robert Koehler of Variety wrote: "Pic is hermetically sealed in a synthetic wrapping that's so total – Sony's top-flight high-def cameras, visibly low-budget CG work, exceptionally hackneyed and imitative action and dialogue – that it arrives a nearly lifeless film.

However, the Japanese Blu-ray that was released on January 1, 2007, does contain the 94 minute unrated version of the film, along with all the extras that appeared on the DVD, excluding a few trailers.
