    Although it looks cool, appearances aren't everything.

    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.

    Seems this is yet another puddle of futuristic sludge for us to blame on John Cassavetes.

    This movie isn't the worst movie I have come by. At least Milla was interesting to watch in action even though there were no memorable moments from this movie.… Expand

    this movie is really NOT that bad. its over the top action at times, the dialogue is bad at times, and the story isn't great, but its easy to tell while watching ultraviolet that it had a lot of potential and couldve been really good but unfortunately failed. with that being said after reading all these reviews about ultraviolet being the worst movie ever i watched it with no expectations other than it to be some good eye candy for my new hi def tv, and since i had no expectations for the movie that may be why i didnt think it was that bad. i also only paid five bucks for it, so that kinda helped.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Proof that impulse buying really isn't a good habit. Ultraviolet is like Kill Bill, without the blood or the potty-mouth. The characters are wooden, the graphics were dated even in 2006, and for some reason the camera was shaky in the ALL-CGI PARTS. I liked Violet's costume, and the effect of her hair and clothes changing colours, while Six's was a bit stereotypical for a sci-fi movie (all-silver clothing. Come on Kurt, really?) and... what's his name, the bad guy, with SILVER PLUGS IN HIS NOSE... ugh. I hope he never lives it down! There are a couple of plotholes: for one, the movie's over, but now Violet is going to die offscreen and Six will probably kick the bucket sometime soon due to Violet turning him into a hemophage. Also, the bad guy was a clean freak. WHY? He was a hemophage ALL ALONG, he didn't need to act like he was uber paranoid about the virus. Speaking of which, HOW HAS HE LIVED FOR SO LONG? He was the first person to be infested with the virus! Christ! Now, i've given this movie 3 for a couple reasons: I have the DVD version, which includes a commentary. It gets a bit dull sometimes, but Milla is one of the better commentators. She shared stories about on the set, she cracked a few jokes, she named a few techniques you see in the film. Very fun. Also, the paper phone was cool. I liked how they had phones made of paper; very cool. I bought this on an impulse, and it was the worst $9 I ever spent. Borrow it from someone if you can, or buy it for under $5; it's all it's worth.… Expand
