Reviews for Ultraviolet
Undemanding, unengaging, and glaringly unoriginal, Ultraviolet gives real comic books a bad name.
07/02/07
Despite the expository speeches draped over this like birthday bunting, the story remains largely incomprehensible.
03/06/07
Top Critic The narrative is so jumbled that even the actors can't seem to keep track of what exactly is meant to be happening.
03/01/07
Some spectacular action, though obviously digital: free of risk, free of drama.
06/24/06
Unengaging, uninspired and unwatchable. A criminal waste of time and talent.

Just when you thought Aeon Flux couldn't have been any more rubbish, along comes Ultraviolet to prove you wrong.
06/24/06
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 . . .
06/15/06
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.
06/06/06
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.
04/30/06
Amid every action cliche in the book, outmoded stereotypes, and a plot derivative of every futuristic drama made in the last fifteen years, Ultraviolet comes off as nothing more than a pale copy of better, more inventive films.
03/25/06
This film might actually include some of the worst deliveries that I have seen in any movie in a long time.
03/25/06
Jovovich, who’s shown sensitivity in her dramatic work, looks spectacularly bored as she power-kicks her way through one bloody pile-up after another. That boredom, like the mystery virus at the center of the film, is contagious.
03/25/06
Top Critic This is disposable cinema, to be wiped clean from the mind as soon it's over and mercifully forgotten.
