Ultraviolet will be studied with great interest in the future - not for its quality or its artistic merit, but rather to discover how a turd like this was made.

Reviews for Ultraviolet
Great action... but unfortunately, the characters had to open their mouths. That's when Ultraviolet becomes ultra vapid.
03/03/06
Ultraviolet is all second act. There is no beginning to the story and no end; it's all middle. A non-sensical, hard to follow assemblage of action, completely devoid of any context.
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 CriticJovovich, 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
Wimmer borrows all his best ideas from other movies...then spackles over his half-assed plot with a shiny aesthetic.
03/08/06
Exactly what you expect--a slick, slight, energetic video game of a movie that is far better than most will admit.
03/03/06
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
Really, you can't blame Ms. Jovovich.
07/14/07
Wimmer ain't no Cassavetes.
03/06/06
This is disposable cinema, to be wiped clean from the mind as soon it's over and mercifully forgotten.
03/25/06
Despite the expository speeches draped over this like birthday bunting, the story remains largely incomprehensible.
03/06/07
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
... 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
The violence is presented in such a childish fashion, that it has all the impact of a Pokemon battle.
03/03/06
This nearly incomprehensible guilty pleasure is actually a great deal of fun.
03/09/06
Cool martial arts and special effects barely make up for laughably atrocious writing and acting and an obvious sci-fi premise.
03/03/06
The adventures of Catwoman, Elektra, Lara Croft and Aeon Flux were positively Homeric compared to this simple-minded Hi-Def tedium...
03/13/06
Lordy mama, the thing's just unspeakable.
06/24/06
Ultra-dumb.
