I saw Ultraviolet recently, despite some quite poor reviews.
I admit, I'm a sucker for scifi, so this film automatically appealed to me.
You're not going to get a great story with this film (but the premise was very good), but if you like cheesy hightech scifi junk, then this is the film for you. Lots of cool gadgets that don't seem necessary, but hey, it's all in good fun.
Set some time away in Earth's future, a mutagenic virus is released by accident which causes a minority of Earth's populace to be transformed. Not superhuman, but not quite human either. The government is basically turned into an infection control organisation. They want to eradicate all infection carriers, but of course the infected are not happy.
That's basically it, no real deviation from standard scifi style. Oppressive government, opposed minority, constant action to rectify this.
The action scenes do cut too much, it's hard to keep track of what is happening. Too fast paced, even for a typical action.
If you want a great story, then don't bother. Shame too, as I think the actors had much more talent than they were able to display. Could have been a great story with some development, and less emphasis on constant action.
If you want cheesy scifi action, with stupid hightech gadgets, then go for it.
