Rob Nelson Village Voice The 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. Aug 27, 2009 Full Review J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Despite the expository speeches draped over this like birthday bunting, the story remains largely incomprehensible. Mar 6, 2007 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Some spectacular action, though obviously digital: free of risk, free of drama. Rated: 2/5 Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine Ultraviolet is short, confusing, visually murky, and dramatically underwhelming. It is not, by any reasonable measure, a good film. Rated: 3/10 Apr 8, 2021 Full Review Alberto Abuín Espinof Milla Jovovich is as amazing as you expect, but her participation in this style of films, which seem all the same, begins to tire. [Full Review in Spanish] Jun 28, 2019 Full Review Daniel Barnes Dare Daniel With a visual aesthetic that recalls a 1998 screensaver and a script penned by Google Translate, the film is either admirably unwatchable, contemptuously unwatchable or Vice-unwatchable. Whatever the case, it's unwatchable. Rated: 1/5 Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Brendan O I thought this movie had a cool plot and visually it was awesome. Good popcorn movie. Not sure why all the neg reviews. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/02/24 Full Review Timur, Chi, T, Samilia, Tangram and Samil M Oh, nothing, just some very bad CGI so, watch your eyes at your own risk Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Purpi 0 Just terrible, nothing good just forgettable soulless visual, 0.6/10 Oof Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Glendon B I don't know what idiots have written such trashy reviews about this movie, probably the same ones who think The Hobbit series are the greatest movies ever made. Ultraviolet is a great action movie, and doesn't seem to get the love it deserves. From the opening credits to the finale it is nonstop Milla Jovovich at her best. When I found out Ultraviolet had only an 8% rating, I knew I needed to do my part to change that! Watch this movie, you will not be disappointed! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review UV x Best movie ever seen !
