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 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 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.

It is at its core a live action comic book along the lines of Robert Rodriguez's Sin City adaptation. It was a fun, pulpy shoot-em-up sci-fi adventure that introduced a lot of decent concepts - most of which fell short due to the fact that it was re-edited & rushed to theatres by Sony Pictures. For that reason alone I subtract four stars.… Expand

The action was over the top. But, for a B popcorn movie it was great. About 15 more minutes were needed to flesh out and clear up a better story.

About 15 more minutes were needed to flesh out and clear up a better story. Only cost 30M to make which means it should recoup it's cost and then clean up in DVD sales. If Serenity only cost 30M to make, a sequel would be in production by now. It took a while for me to realize that a hemophage was a vampire. It wasn't Milla's fault as some reviewers have stated -- it was clearly the script that needed to be expanded. I will be buying this movie on DVD.… Expand

This goes out to Bob S. and every sorryass out there who doesn't even know how to make a proper argument for their own cause.

On top of this obvious lack of knowlege into the genre he claims to be his pet...he goes on and on about a film whose loan merit is the eternally youthful Jovovich. Watch some 'Space Odessey' and 'Alien' you simpleton. That's like that fool who was comparing 'Date Movie' to 'The Godfather'. Where do you idiots spring up from?… Expand

This movie is all action with very little story. It plays to the strength of the director who proved in Equilibrium that he is second to none in this arena.

It plays to the strength of the director who proved in Equilibrium that he is second to none in this arena. The result, however, is violence without purpose. There is a good film that could have been made of mess. At this moment,however, this is an 88 minute trailer in search of a movie. Too bad.… Expand

Love Milla. Love Sci-fi. Love chi. I could sit and star at Leeloo for hours. But Wimmer has undone all the progress he made in his "Fahrenheit 451" remake. (Most of you know it as "Equilibrium".) Terrible story, terrible effects, terrible Love Milla. Love Sci-fi. Love chi. I could sit and star at Leeloo for hours. But Wimmer has undone all the progress he made in his "Fahrenheit 451" remake.

It's hard to suspend one's disbelief when V's slicing people up with a sword and THERE. IS. NO. BLOOD. Puh-leeeease. Really needed that PG13, eh? I put this right up there with Underworld, Hellboy and Van Hellsing as crappy sci-fi movies I love to watch. C'mon, Milla, more crap!… Expand

Its not the worst film I've seen. It could have been a good film, but the whole film seems obvious its made in particular sets. Some of the film reminds you of those cheesy cut scenes you get in the mid-90s computer games, the games on Its not the worst film I've seen.

It was a rip off of Aeon Flux at the time, which also didn't live up to the name either. It just feels like its being done, and acted to be gotten out the way and soul-less at times.… Expand

This movie is awful and Im a huge fan of Equilibrium. It's only getting 4 because Milla is a babe. The action is lackluster and theres barely a plot. Not to mention its chock full of bad lines Avoid this movie like the plague.

I loved "Equilibrium". I heard all of the negative press concerning "Ultraviolet" going in, but despite it all, i kept telling myself "this is the guy who made EQUILIBRIUM. I will give it a fighting chance". It saddens me to say that, for I loved "Equilibrium". I heard all of the negative press concerning "Ultraviolet" going in, but despite it all, i kept telling myself "this is the guy who made EQUILIBRIUM. I will give it a fighting chance". It saddens me to say that, for the most part, all of the bad stuff that you've heard concerning "ULTRAVIOLET" is true. Part of the blame falls on Milla Jovavich. We have to face it: She is no Christian Bale. She just does not possess the acting skills to carry a film. She's damned pretty to look at, but man, was that performance terrible. Another part of the problem seemed to be that director Wimmer was attempting to take all of the elements that worked in "Equilibrium", and then amp them up to the EXTREME. He sort of "TEMPLE OF DOOMED" this one, by going TOOO far with everything. The action is quite often incoherent, and some of the CGI is horrid. The epic one-liners are just cheesy. And there seems to be more logical reason that these people had to be VAMPIRES. That NEVER ONCE plays into the story. A missed element, or a pointless one, i don't know. That's not to say this movie is COMPLETELY without redemption. The colouring looks GREAT, and there are some neat gadgets for scifi fanatics (love those disposable phones! And as someone else mentioned: DIMENSION COMPRESSION!). I'll be honest, though. Coming from the guy who gave us EQUILIBRIUM, this was a huge disappointment overall. Maybe next time, Kurt!… Expand

This movie is funny bad, so bad its good type of film. Watch it if you want some quick laughs. The CGI was so over the top it looked as if it was a early 2000's video game commercial for teenagers.
