Consensus: An incomprehensible and forgettable sci-fi thriller, Ultraviolet is inept in every regard.
Runtime: 1 hr 34 mins

Synopsis: Although the artwork in the opening credits would lead you to believe otherwise, writer/director Kurt Wimmer (EQUILIBRIUM) reportedly based ULTRAVIOLET not on a comic book but on John Cassavetes's... [More]

Reviews for Ultraviolet
Top CriticSome spectacular action, though obviously digital: free of risk, free of drama.
06/24/06
Top CriticLordy mama, the thing's just unspeakable.
06/24/06
Unengaging, uninspired and unwatchable. A criminal waste of time and talent.
06/24/06
Top CriticJust when you thought Aeon Flux couldn't have been any more rubbish, along comes Ultraviolet to prove you wrong.
06/24/06
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
Top CriticThe 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.
08/27/09
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.

Really, you can't blame Ms. Jovovich.
07/14/07
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
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
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 cheesy CGI effects look like they were done on a 15-year-old Macintosh.
05/12/06
Ultraviolet is absolutely worth a look -- if not a listen or a thought.
05/06/06
... 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
Ultracrappy more like.
03/25/06
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.
