Los Angeles Times | Gene SeymourAdd Critic to Favorites

To her credit, Jovovich carries out her action-hero duties with swagger and conviction that never get out of control. Clearly, she's expecting a franchise out of this.Read the full review

The New York Times | Jeannette CatsoulisAdd Critic to Favorites

Mr. Wimmer is more concerned with fetishizing his heroine and patronizing his audience. The verdict? Ultrasilly.Read the full review

Boston Globe | Jonathan PerryAdd Critic to Favorites

Jovovich is bad, and not in a good way. She turns in an epically expressionless performance (maybe she thought it was one of her modeling gigs?) but she sure looks great.Read the full review

San Francisco Chronicle | Peter HartlaubAdd Critic to Favorites

A film to be enjoyed only by science-fiction movie completists and middle school boys with extreme cases of attention deficit disorder.Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Tasha RobinsonAdd Critic to Favorites

Underdeveloped antagonist Nick Chinlund sums up the entire film during one of his rants about Jovovich's latest casual, offhand slaughter: "One woman against 14 men! It's ridiculous!" Well, yeah.Read the full review

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites

This is another one of those pointless action superhero movies that unfolds like a video game in which the viewer is unable to participate.Read the full review

The Hollywood Reporter | Frank ScheckAdd Critic to Favorites

The latest entry in the "This film is so bad we're not screening it for critics" genre.Read the full review

Variety | Robert KoehlerAdd Critic to Favorites

Pic is hermetically sealed in a synthetic wrapping that's so total -- Sony's top-flight high-def cameras, visibly low-budget CG work, exceptionally hackneyed and imitative action and dialogue --that it arrives a nearly lifeless film.Read the full review

Entertainment Weekly | Scott BrownAdd Critic to Favorites

Ultraviolet, warns someone, ''Don't overthink it.'' Sage advice for anyone masochistic enough to watch this pile of poorly pixelated vampire poo.Read the full review
