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.

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

Top CriticUltra-dumb.
03/25/06
Top CriticCrank your brain to its lowest possible idle and you'll still overthink Ultraviolet.
03/08/06
Top CriticWimmer ain't no Cassavetes.
03/06/06
Top CriticUwe 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.
03/06/06
Top CriticThe Yule log was way more entertaining.
03/06/06
Top CriticHer sword is red, her eyes are blue and her movie is horrible.
03/06/06
Top CriticWhether Six is a blessing or a boon to mutants or humans is one of the many things that are not clearly explained through all the flying bodies, flashing steel and grinding metal.
03/05/06
Top CriticUltrastupid, ultra-incoherent, ultrasilly -- and way, way ultraboring.
03/05/06
Top CriticUltraviolet cleaves faithfully to its comic-book genealogy with a plot unobstructed by big words and images that rarely breach two dimensions. Ultrasilly.
03/05/06
Top CriticThe special effects simply thrust Ultraviolet in an Xbox 360 for action set-pieces that are kinetic and colorful but surprisingly unexciting. Do we really care if she dies when she’s just going to be regenerated anyway?
03/03/06
Top CriticUltraviolet 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 CriticThe tale, beginning with narrated flashbacks that make it curiously seem like a sequel, essentially is an excuse for a seemingly endless series of ultraviolet, uh, ultraviolent, action scenes.
03/03/06
Top CriticWimmer has created no logical framework for flashy, ultraviolent and frankly cheesy sequences.
03/03/06
Top CriticPic is hermetically sealed in a synthetic wrapping that's so total -- Sony's top-flight high-def cameras, visibly low-budget CG work, exceptionally hackneyed and imitative action and dialogue --that it arrives a nearly lifeless film.
