Set in the late 21st century, a subculture of humans called Hemophages has emerged who have been genetically modified; giving them enhanced speed, incredible stamina and acute intelligence. To the government's dismay, more and more of the population are being transformed, and they have set out to rid the world of this new subculture that they deem menaces to society. One rogue warrior is bent on protecting her race - and seeking revenge on those who changed her life forever. With fierce fighting skills and chameleon-like abilities, Violet sets out to destroy a government-designed time bomb that will eliminate all Hemophages. To Violet's surprise, the deadline device is a nine-year-old-boy, who was raised in a laboratory and goes by the name of Six. [More]

The most receptive audience will mainly be enlightened to know that you can make a movie as thoroughly unprofessional as this one and still get it released in 3,000 theaters.

Give us a superhero movie that has a female protagonist that's a real character with emotions, and personality, and not just some model performing stunts and running around in skimpy outfits.

Undemanding, unengaging, and glaringly unoriginal, Ultraviolet gives real comic books a bad name.

Despite the expository speeches draped over this like birthday bunting, the story remains largely incomprehensible.

The narrative is so jumbled that even the actors can't seem to keep track of what exactly is meant to be happening.

Some spectacular action, though obviously digital: free of risk, free of drama.

Just when you thought Aeon Flux couldn't have been any more rubbish, along comes Ultraviolet to prove you wrong.

Director Kurt Wimmer claims to have written Ultraviolet specifically with lead actress Milla Jovovich in mind. No, I don't know what Jovovich did to deserve this either . . .

The only redeeming feature is a production design so outrageously mad that you will genuinely have no idea what you're watching for more than half the time.

The cheesy CGI effects look like they were done on a 15-year-old Macintosh.

Ultraviolet is absolutely worth a look -- if not a listen or a thought.

... inacreditável que o diretor do eficiente Equilibrium seja o responsável por uma porcaria mal roteirizada, pavorosamente dirigida, repleta de efeitos visuais capengas e péssimas atuações como esta produção.
