Critic Reviews

Chuck Wilson

For this violent yet gore-free film, clearly designed for horny teenaged video game wizards, writer-director Kurt Wimmer stages a succession of fight sequences that pit V against helmeted thugs who appear to have raided the Star Wars storm trooper costume closet. Read full review

Stina Chyn

Although it looks cool, appearances aren’t everything. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

Mr. Wimmer is more concerned with fetishizing his heroine and patronizing his audience. The verdict? Ultrasilly. Read full review

Peter Hartlaub

A film to be enjoyed only by science-fiction movie completists and middle school boys with extreme cases of attention deficit disorder. Read full review

Jonathan Perry

Jovovich is bad, and not in a good way. She turns in an epically expressionless performance (maybe she thought it was one of her modeling gigs?) but she sure looks great. Read full review

Frank Scheck

The latest entry in the "This film is so bad we're not screening it for critics" genre. Read full review

Kimberley Jones

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. Read full review

Oh man. This movie is hilarious! Don't let my rating fool you, this movie is horrible, I mean REALLY horrible. My rating is based on the fact that I had a blast watching it in the theater and laughing at it. I kid you not, the final fight scene takes place in pitch dark. I guess they Oh man. This movie is hilarious! Don't let my rating fool you, this movie is horrible, I mean REALLY horrible. My rating is based on the fact that I had a blast watching it in the theater and laughing at it. I kid you not, the final fight scene takes place in pitch dark. I guess they burned through their special effects budget showing the same 5 idiotic looking 'troupers' getting mowed down again and again. The plot goes beyond nonsensical; the main character's motivations are completely inscrutable. Early in the movie she claims she 'hate's all humans' and wants to kill them all. Five minutes later (seriously, I'm not exaggerating here) she's massacring every vampire she can find, including some that were previously her friends and compatriots to protect a human child who's going to die in a couple of hours anyway. If you've ever gotten a kick out of watching a truly terrible piece of cinema with some friends I whole-heartedly recommend this movie. But if you're expecting a serious movie avoid it all costs. It is terrible, as in 'it might give you leprosy' terrible.… Expand

"Ultraviolet" One Line Review!

This could be in the top 10 worst films of all time, the only redeeming quality is the constant showing of Milla Jovovich's midriff.

Quite possibly the worst attempt at "entertainment" in the history of cogent human thought. From beginning to end and in every aspect of the production this movie was an utter failure of storytelling. Lame voiceover. Poor special effects. Terrible acting. Terrible sets. Incoherent plot. Quite possibly the worst attempt at "entertainment" in the history of cogent human thought. From beginning to end and in every aspect of the production this movie was an utter failure of storytelling. Lame voiceover. Poor special effects. Terrible acting. Terrible sets. Incoherent plot. Idiotic dialogue and moronic character relationships. There is so much more to criticize, but I think the less said about this train wreck the better. Movie execs need to realize that you can create a great, fun, AND logical action movie. Investment in the story, not simply more green screen and cgi effects, must be made. Alas, good stories involve a modicum of intelligence; a commodity woefully lacking in Hollywood. Oh well - I am sure "Ultraviolet II: The Revioleting" is in the pipeline!… Expand
