Trivia
Milla Jovovich has disowned the film, as she was disappointed on how it was handled by Sony, when the studio executives forced Kurt Wimmer to remove over 30 minutes of footage from the original cut. Kurt Wimmer has also disowned the final cut of the film, for not representing his original vision.

Goofs
When Six is hanging over the well, he knocks off his left shoe to check the depth of the well. After he is rescued, he and Violet walk through a door and he has his left shoe on.

Quotes
Violet: [to Six] Haven't you been paying attention? Killing is what I do. It's what I'm good at. I am a titan. A monolith. Nothing can stop me.

Crazy credits
The opening credits appear in a montage of "Ultraviolet" comic book covers.

The Screen Gems logo appears as a corner-box image on most of the covers, with each cover having a different style logo.

Alternate versions
There is an 'Unrated Extended Cut' available on DVD, this version runs to around 94 minutes and drastically improves the comprehensibility of the story. The major addition is of some voice-over exposition from Violet which mentions the affects of 'hemophagia' and more of her own personal story. There are also some alterations to combat scenes which were presumably edited for content.

Killing Is Her Specialty

In a future totalitarian society, there is a war between humans and the group of beings infected in a government experiment called "hemophages", with enhanced strength and abilities. When the warrior Ultraviolet (Milla Jovovich) is assigned to steal a secret weapon capable of destroying the "hemophages", she discloses that it is actually a boy called Six (Cameron Bright) that has been genetically modified. The maternal instinct of Ultraviolet arises and she fights against the tyrant Daxus (Nick Chinlund) and her mates leaded by Nerva (Sebastien Andrieu) trying to find an antidote and the cure of Six.

"Ultraviolet" is a deceptive movie for many reasons. The first one certainly is the awful screenplay, with a bad story, silly dialogs and no development of the characters. The excessive use of CGI gives the sensation that the viewer is watching a video game, alternating beautiful colorful sequences with very poor special effects, like for example, the motorcycle sequence, when Ultraviolet is chased. I like movies based on cartoons, but Ultraviolet was a great deception. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Ultravioleta" ("Ultraviolet")
