UltraViolet is a 2006 science fiction / action film. It was released in North America on March 3, 2006. The film was written and directed by Kurt Wimmer and produced by Screen Gems. It stars Milla Jovovich as Violet and Cameron Bright as Six. The film was released onto DVD and Blu-ray Disc on June 27, 2006.
The film uses the basic premise of John Cassavetes's 1980 cult classic Gloria, See blank">Ultraviolet at _Rotten Tomatoes, where the synposis details the links of the film to the book about a woman and a young boy on the run from the mafia, and transposes the story to a dystopian futuristic setting where genetically enhanced mutants are fighting a guerrilla war against a totalitarian government dictatorship. Many comparisons have been made between UltraViolet and Equilibrium, Wimmer's previous film.
The opening credits is a montage of comic book covers, indicating that the atmosphere of the film is heavily inspired by comic books and manga. The impression of the movie as a live-action comic book or anime is further reinforced by the extensive use of bright-hue colors, as well as soft-focus on close-ups to give the faces of the characters a blurred, air-brushed appearance. A novelization of the film was written by Yvonne Navarro, with more back-story and character development. The novelization also differs from the film in a number of ways, including a more ambiguous ending and the removal of some of the more improbable plot twists. In the book's finale, however, Violet does not act as if she were about to collapse from her disease after Six is revived, as she does in the film.
