In the late 21st a disease called Hemophagia has genetically modified nearly an entire race of people, leaving them with such enhanced speed, intelligence, and strength that they resemble vampires in nearly every way. Fear begins to breed within the power elite as the disease continues to spread and those infected prove to be truly superhuman, and now, a civil war is brewing between uninfected humans and those altered by Hemophagia. Caught dead in the center of it is an infected woman called

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.
Despite the expository speeches draped over this like birthday bunting, the story remains largely incomprehensible.
Ultra-dumb.
Crank your brain to its lowest possible idle and you'll still overthink Ultraviolet.
Wimmer ain't no Cassavetes.
Uwe Boll would be proud of this movie. It's pretentious and oh-so-serious. The tone of the movie is one of high art, but it stinks like a landfill.
Woefully nonsensical from start to finish...
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.
Incoherent video gamey sci-fi action movie.
Really, you can't blame Ms. Jovovich.
Undemanding, unengaging, and glaringly unoriginal, Ultraviolet gives real comic books a bad name.
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.
Derivative, adolescent tosh.
Unengaging, uninspired and unwatchable. A criminal waste of time and talent.
Lordy mama, the thing's just unspeakable.
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.
I don't know...I kind of liked it. It's a litte different and a bit wierd. But it feels like a mix of Resident Evil, Blade and Sin City. And those are all good movies. I'm not gonna try to convince someone that it's good. Cause I know that I'm wrong. I read that a lot of other reviews calls it hard to understand...And

First, they made her a weapon. That was their second deadliest mistake. Now, they've made her a target...The story of this movie is decently good, fighting scenes were okay and some effects were cool too, said that it's all down hill from there, the scenery looks really fake and the acting was abysmal. This is all the
