Ultraviolet (2006)
1/10
My eyes...... how they bleed for you!

Warning: Spoilers
First of all, let me say, you have to see this movie!

"Why do you say that? When everyone is slagging it off." I hear you ask. Because everything you do or see after this movie, will be ray of sunshine in your life! So, let's assume you're out for a picnic, it's a beautiful day, you are eating a sandwich from your picnic basket. Then, all of a sudden a large bird flys over and craps directly in your sandwich. You then proceed to unwittingly eat the sandwich without realizing. No need to worry,…. its not bad as sitting through Ultraviolet. Now, let's assume you're walking down the street and you slip on a dog turd, fall down some stairs and land head first in a bucket of acid some child left on the sidewalk, followed shortly by your body being eaten by radioactive, plague rats. No problem, at least you'll never have to see this god damn move again!

So why is this movie so bad, I really don't know where to start. First off, the CGI is terrible; the superimposition of the motorbike in the chase scene is horrific and could have been rivalled in MS Paint. The dialogue is beyond awful; there are no words in the English language that do justice to the bad acting and terrible dialogue in this movie. And if there are, I certainly can't use them on IMDb.

By far and wide, the worst part of the movie is a scene where Violet sends a hologram to the "enemy base", the hologram pulls up in a car, and is faced down by many rows of (probably CGI) enemies. Some bad dialogue later, the car and hologram are toast – pan to real Violet and the child she is protecting. Child says "There's too may of them, there's just too many"… Then, INSTANTLY, pan to vision-like scene of child and Violet playing in the park… child dies. What the hell??!?!?!?!?!?!??! At this point, I felt my arm moving of it's own free will – yes, it wanted to punch me in the face for watching this god forsaken film!

I like many others here have been compelled to sign up to IMDb just to warn other people of this movie. If you are waiting for the director's cut… you'll be waiting a while I fear, as I'm pretty sure this movie was so bad, it's just not worth taking the risk of releasing another potential failure.

I consider myself to be an easy movie-goer, I don't ask a lot from movies. I've seen movies that have gotten 3-4 on IMDb and thoroughly enjoyed them. But Ultraviolet takes the cake. (It takes it, eats it and then spits it in your face, then laughs at you for paying for the cake!). I always thought Derailed (the Van-Damne one) was the worst film I ever saw (followed closely by AI),.. but yes, we have a new loser! Come on down Ultraviolet, you are the worst movie ever made!

88 god damn minutes of my life, I want them back!
