Ultraviolet Blu-ray Review

ProvenFlipper · 07-31-2006, 10:45 PM

I have watched Ultraviolet on BD and I enjoyed it. It wasn't as crisp or clean as some of the other movies that I have watched, but it definately looked great.

Broken Link · 08-05-2006, 02:06 AM

I am not really sure about the person above me but On my tv it looks AMAZING !

BTBuck1 · 08-05-2006, 02:12 AM

It has a stylized look, with overblown colors, & smearing. the PQ is excellent.

Psiweaver · 08-05-2006, 09:58 PM

Out of curiousity how is the audio quality?

The sound was great for the type of movie it was but I liked the sound on Underworld better. The guns make better noise on that movie and I didnt have to put it as loud to get to the point I want. Ultraviolet I have to put 75 percent up to get to the level I watch movies at but underworld on the other hand is only about 50 and its much louder.

I know this is an old title release on june 27,2006 but what I like the most is How this guy treating Blu- ray disc movies. this is the 1st High Definition movie Got a higher points 10/10 among HD-DVD and only five titles BD reviews under DVDFILE.com

Fantastic Four and enemy of the state reviews got higher marks too

except for The fifth element and House of flying daggers which are from the first batch release on June.

Regards,

Uhm...what guy?

Scorxpion · 12-18-2006, 01:45 PM

The guy who is reviewing this BD called

an Ramer .

If you would like to see his reviews this is the link:http://www.dvdfile.com/index.php?opt...=5814&Itemid=3

It has been revised on the Sony player BDP-S1.The final remark about the picture quality is "This is the first disc I’ve seen that I feel comfortable with awarding the highest video score, a demonstration level transfer"

hmmm. I never saw the BD copy of this movie, but i heard it was rather soft which picute quality. I was thinking of getting this title. Tell me what you think about it if you buy it.

phloyd · 12-18-2006, 05:09 PM

From what I have seen of Ultraviolet it looks kinda like a VC-1 encode.

IE, there is no grain to speak of and everything looks smoothed.

You might remember the look of Sky Captain - it is not as severe but it has the same kind of feel to it.

Hope that helps.

It is certainly the 'artistic choice' of the cinematographer/director and it might be something you like or not...

Its supposed to look soft, the movie was filmed that way.

There was extensive CGI manipulation going on with this film to give the whole thing a wierd but unique look. Certain colors were washed out and blurred, others were inhanced to a ridiculous degree, and this would change depending on the scene and necessity. The end result as absolutely amazing.

I've seen Ultraviolet running on the crappy Samsung BD player running at 1080i and it was the best picture I've every seen. Heck, I've seen other movies playing on a Sony XBR and it still didn't look as good as Ultraviolet...I'd love to see that movie run on a 1080p XBR!

Ok. I have seen alot of talk about this ultraviolet movie.
I heard it sucks.Then i hear its good...Then i hear its only good because of the quality and the effects....then i hear it all sucks....

Can someone that isnt a fan but doesnt bash every movie review this one?
I looked at some screen shots of the film and it looked pretty cool to me.
I'm easy to please. And i like sci fi...and blu ray especially if it looks good.
How does this one look on blu?
And is it worth it?

It would be cool if the people running this website would review it..I usually read those then the user comments to help me out before i buy.
Thanks.

Visually it is beautiful. The movie/story is not that good. I own it and don't like it. And I love movies with excellent visuals. Probably never watch it again.

Mobe1969 · 04-07-2008, 09:01 AM

The Blu Ray is just the PG13 cut too I think.

BluStar88 · 04-07-2008, 10:51 AM

I personally hated. it i love movies have over 200 BDs and despite the fact that the movie is shot with a combination of shanghai backgrounds (I live in shanghai) I still hated the movie. I actually watched it at 1.5 x speed.

If you get it for free or real cheap it and watch it at 1.5x speed you might find it worth it.. I myself got it for free and felt i got ripped off IMHO.

Hahaha too funny man, 1.5 speed. If I have to sit through this movie, I'm gonna cruise through it QUICK!

The movie was merely "okay" to me, all style with little substance. Worth it at a bargain price (the poster above for 10 bucks from Amazon, good find).

yup sure is and thats gay i havent even purchased Ultraviolet on blu just because of that and i want to get rid of my dvd copy of the unrated version but i guess thats going to have to wait. the movie was ok but its not Milla's best work but its watchable

Psychonaut · 04-07-2008, 11:51 AM

I thought it looked good visually but the story was lacking and the sound was horrible. I would not buy it and probably won't rent it again.

statikcat · 04-07-2008, 05:44 PM

The movie looks awesome. It's a fun movie if you don't get all technical on it.
