It's a banner year for bad vampire flicks, so Ultraviolet is truly damned by this faint praise: It's not the worst.

Reviews for Ultraviolet
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.

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.
03/04/06
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
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.
04/29/09
Not Even The Lovely And Seductive Milla Can Save This One. It Is Truly Excrement On Celluloid.
03/14/06
The 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
An unholy combination of comic book and video game,...so awful that you'd swear it had been directed by Uwe Boll.
03/03/06
Whether 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.
