Exactly what you expect--a slick, slight, energetic video game of a movie that is far better than most will admit.

Reviews for Ultraviolet
This nearly incomprehensible guilty pleasure is actually a great deal of fun.
03/09/06
When I saw the trailer for "Ultraviolet," I thought: Well, here's another PG-13 movie with a slender, beautiful heroine in exotic garb in a flick made for fan boys." I was right.
03/08/06
a kinetic art piece of color, sound, and movement that exists somewhere between the Underworld movies and Matthew Barney's Cremaster Cycle, with just a hint of Tron thrown in.
03/16/06
Ultraviolet is absolutely worth a look -- if not a listen or a thought.
05/06/06
If you have no problem with an experience that feels like an adrenaline shot administered directly to your brain, then this is the place to start.
03/06/06
It's a banner year for bad vampire flicks, so Ultraviolet is truly damned by this faint praise: It's not the worst.
03/05/06
Has filmmaking really become this cynical, or is it just me?
03/08/06
Undemanding, unengaging, and glaringly unoriginal, Ultraviolet gives real comic books a bad name.

It's well known that writer/director Kurt Wimmer hates movie critics. Ultraviolet is the reason why.
03/03/06
Ultraviolet wants desperately to be a provocative, high-concept action thriller. It is apparently trying to say something about fear and terrorism, paranoia and racism. But it looks more like a shampoo commercial.
03/03/06
Top CriticUltraviolet and the recent Resident Evil films mark this compelling Russian beauty as the unofficial queen of Xbox-ready junk movies, which are fast becoming the new century’s equivalent of radioactive bug flicks.
03/06/06
Although it masquerades as a futuristic action-thriller, Ultraviolet functions best as a multi-million dollar commercial for Milla Jovovich's personal trainer.
03/03/06
Lordy mama, the thing's just unspeakable.
06/24/06
Ultracrappy more like.
03/25/06
The experience is merely interminable, wholly forgettable, and without the requisite thrills and spills.
03/04/06
Cool martial arts and special effects barely make up for laughably atrocious writing and acting and an obvious sci-fi premise.
03/03/06
A confusing jumble of sci-fi jargon and random plot twists, where the characters know perfectly well what's going on but the audience doesn't.
03/04/06
If you want to break up with your significant other, take him/her to this turd.
