Ultraviolet ★ 2006 (PG-13)

After being given a virus by the military to create a group of superhumans, sexy vamp Violet (Jovovich) must kick some major butt to save their lives when the powersthatbe decide to terminate them. Their ultimate survival rests within a boy named Six (Bright), whom Violet must protect. Set in a “Matrix”like future world—a world where no shirt exists that properly fits Violet—writer/director Wimmer seems proud to crudely rip off a mishmash of other such action flicks as “Tomb Raider” and “Kill Bill,” not to mention “Resident Evil.” 89m/C DVD, Blu-ray Disc, UMD . US Milla Jovovich, Cameron Bright, Nicholas Chinlund, William Fichtner, Sebastien Andrieu; D: Kurt Wimmer; W: Kurt Wimmer; C: Arthur Wong Ngok Tai; M: Klaus Badelt.
