Description
In the late 21st century, a subculture of humans have emerged who have been modified genetically by a vampire-like disease, giving them enhanced speed, incredible stamina and acute intelligence. As they are set apart from "normal" and "healthy" humans, the world is pushed to the brink of worldwide civil war aimed at the destruction of the "diseased" population. In the middle of this crossed-fire is - an infected woman - Ultraviolet, who finds herself protecting a nine-year-old boy who has been marked for death by the human government as he is believed to be a threat to humans.

Key opinion
Ultraviolet is widely considered a failure that prioritizes a stylized, comic-book aesthetic over narrative coherence and logical world-building. While Milla Jovovich’s performance is frequently praised as the film's only anchor, critics and audiences alike found the screenplay thin, the CGI unconvincing, and the action sequences repetitive.
| Acting | Milla Jovovich serves as the central pillar of the film, with most viewers agreeing that her presence is the only element preventing the production from being entirely unwatchable. | |
| Production | The visual effects are universally criticized for looking artificial, plastic, and cheap, with many viewers noting a total lack of physical weight or believability. | |
| Screenplay | The screenplay is largely viewed as nonexistent or nonsensical, characterized by a fragmented structure and clichéd dialogue that fails to provide basic character motivation or world-building. | |
| Production | The film's ambitious anime-inspired aesthetic is highly divisive; some appreciate the attempt at a unique, stylized "humanized manga" look, while others find the garish, oversaturated visuals jarring and distracting. | |
| Direction | The action sequences provoke disagreement: some viewers enjoy the stylized acrobatics and inventive weaponry as a "time-killing" spectacle, while others criticize the repetitive combat and lack of impact compared to the director's previous work. |
