Featured review
Having watched the regular release version I was somewhat confused as to what was going on, though I was able to surmise the base elements of the plot, but when I saw the uncut version with the scenes left in, things made a lot more sense.
The plot seems a bit obscure at first; unless you're sharp, you're not going to be able to follow it. That is all I will say about that.
It's true the acting wasn't magnificent but I really don't know what everyone is complaining about. Plenty of action, yes, and Milla Jovovich looks great. I thought it was a pretty good watch myself, and I am in the minority there. I definitely don't think it's a waste of time, though it is a bit dark. It's now in my DVD collection, in fact.
Rent it, watch the uncut version. Though not my favourite movie of all time, I enjoyed it.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMilla Jovovich has disowned the film, as she was disappointed on how it was handled by Sony, when the studio executives forced Kurt Wimmer to remove over 30 minutes of footage from the original cut. Kurt Wimmer has also disowned the final cut of the film, for not representing his original vision.
- GoofsWhen Six is hanging over the well, he knocks off his left shoe to check the depth of the well. After he is rescued, he and Violet walk through a door and he has his left shoe on.
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits appear in a montage of "Ultraviolet" comic book covers.
The Screen Gems logo appears as a corner-box image on most of the covers, with each cover having a different style logo.
- Alternate versionsThere is an 'Unrated Extended Cut' available on DVD, this version runs to around 94 minutes and drastically improves the comprehensibility of the story. The major addition is of some voice-over exposition from Violet which mentions the affects of 'hemophagia' and more of her own personal story. There are also some alterations to combat scenes which were presumably edited for content.
