Ultraviolet Reviews

Mar 19, 2025

(CASTELLANO) Hay películas malas, y luego está Ultraviolet, que juega en su propia liga del desastre. Todo en ella resulta fallido: el guion, los efectos visuales, la dirección y hasta las escenas de acción, que deberían ser su gran baza. La película intenta meternos en un futuro chungo, con una prota que se rebela contra el gobierno, pero al final te quedas con una ensalada de cosas sin sentido. Milla Jovovich, que en otras pelis de acción se ha lucido, aquí parece que está pillada en un guion que no la deja hacer nada más que soltar frases sin ton ni son y pelearse como en un videojuego cutre de hace veinte años. El CGI, lejos de ayudar, empeora aún más las cosas, con escenarios artificiales y efectos visuales que parecen inacabados. Todo se siente mecánico, sin alma, como si hubieran decidido priorizar la estética sobre cualquier otra cosa… y ni siquiera en eso aciertan. El mayor problema de Ultraviolet es que ni siquiera es entretenida en su mediocridad. No es de esas películas malas que al menos puedes reírte de lo ridículo que resulta todo. Aquí, simplemente, la torpeza de la ejecución convierte la experiencia en algo tedioso. Si alguien la terminó de ver, es más por resistencia que por disfrute. (ENGLISH) There are bad movies, and then there’s Ultraviolet, which plays in its own league of disaster. Everything about it falls flat: the script, the visual effects, the direction, and even the action scenes, which should have been its strongest asset. The film tries to throw us into a dystopian future with a protagonist rebelling against the government, but what you actually get is a jumble of nonsensical ideas. Milla Jovovich, who has shined in other action films, looks like she’s stuck in a script that gives her nothing to do but deliver senseless lines and fight in what feels like a low-budget video game from twenty years ago. The CGI, instead of enhancing the film, only makes things worse, with artificial environments and unfinished-looking visual effects. Everything feels mechanical, soulless, as if they prioritized aesthetics over everything else… and even in that, they failed. The biggest problem with Ultraviolet is that it’s not even entertaining in its mediocrity. It’s not one of those bad movies you can at least laugh at for how ridiculous it is. Here, the clumsy execution just turns the whole experience into a chore. If anyone made it to the end, it was more out of sheer endurance than actual enjoyment.

So bad it's good territory, but I love this movie. We built this city. Phile.

I don’t know why this movie was so low-rated, but after rewatching it recently, I found that the movie still did a pretty good job of entertaining. It wasn’t that bad

I thought this movie had a cool plot and visually it was awesome. Good popcorn movie. Not sure why all the neg reviews.

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!

Who doesn't like a movie about the dystopian future we're all doomed to

This was so bad it was fascinating. The pacing in this is so bizarrely off...the first 40 minutes are nonstop stupid over the top action that never breathes and than we slow down to boring expose nonstop back to terrible final battles. The cinematography is atrocious with HORRIFIC CGI sweeping shots, over the top action, shot with bizarre obnoxious camera angles for good measure. Half the time the shots have a glossy color saturation to them as well that's distracting and looks like some kind of lubricant is on the screen. The music isn't bad as much as it puts you to sleep during boring expose and makes it even worse. It's just used in bad ways. The editing is horrible as well. The crowning achievement aside from the CGI is without a doubt Milla Jovovich. Her character Violet is so over the top, out of place, exaggerated and stupid while always trying to look like a badass its fascinating. It brings the level of acting to the type of performances you see in Kazam or The Super Mario Bros. Movie. This is so bad it's good at least the first 40 minutes. If you wanna see something awful but good just watch the first 40 minutes of this and than turn it off.

One of my favorite sci fi action movies. If you can look past the bad 2006 cgi, the acting, the sets, the music, & the plot are amazing. The outfits in this movie & the way she changes the colors of her outfits are top notch! I used to watch this movie at least once a week as a kid & now watching it as an adult I'm glad it holds up. We need a remastered version of this movie so we can watch it in all it's glory.

Loved it. Terrific Milla jojovich

Visually its a nice movie to watch, the story is non-existant. Good movie to watch while you are doing your laundry and searching for good movies to watch.

What could've been definitely was not. This is such a terrible movie from start to finish. From the cheap CGI, the cinematography resembling a 90's desktop screensaver, and the acting? Oh the acting is abysmal. All of it is a no for me.

A great inspiration.

I like the film. it's just one of those style over substance - turn off your brain and enjoy the ride. Plus Milla Jovovich in sexy outfits is ALWAYS a plus.

I can not seriously tell whether or not the terrible animation was a stylistic or i-dont-give-a-cap choice. Either way, I didn't mind it.

I really like the ahestetic and fight scene, a bit videogame-like. Good fitting music too. The story is nonsensical at best, seems like the plot of every generic scifi dystopian movie thrown in a blender. Worthwile experiment, would watch again.

"It's Milla time!" Yes, I confess, I watched this to see Milla "Violet" do her thing in this flick. I loved her, loved her, loved her in The Fifth Element and her Resident Evil work was okay too. Ultraviolet has a barely acceptable plot, somewhat engaging screen adaptation, very impressive CGI overall, top-notch cinematography taste & vision. Milla looks spectacular and action scenes were well-done. I enjoyed 90% of this bombastic sci-fi, heroine extravaganza. Nanotech'd weaponry and bullets "from outta nowhere" was a new twist for me but how they could be fashioned so incredibly fast is beyond the hard-science I understand -- unless the weapons and ammo pre-existed in some quasi-energy-matter state, superpacked in storage for rapid retrieval. The 10% of the movie that failed me was the CGI'd motorcycle chase looked a but comic-booky in spots and NOT realistic. Never mind what Violet pulled off was essentially impossible, it just looked a bit unfinished in the CGI arena, textures not added in spots, breaking glass looking too drawn versus really breaking, small stuff really but it is just that sort of special effects that makes special effects NOT special. If you can tell is is CGI-done then it is subpar work. You shouldn't see most special effects other than slo-mo, ramping and the stuff we all were wow'd by in The Matrix. One last beef -- how in the world does Violet dodge 25 or thirty gun experts shooting at her at close range from 360 degrees surrounding her? Sure. maybe the first couple guys are stupid enuff to die in crossfire but ALL of them doing that? Please So, overall decent flick.

A vampire must protect a human child from both humans and vampire alike along the way she becomes a surrogate mother.
