Movie Reviews of Underworld: Evolution [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Underworld, Kate Beckinsale the sexiest vampire ever
Summary: 5 Stars

Although a fan of the "Blade" series, I couldn't image the genre taken any further. I was wrong. "Underworld" is shot in a style which has become the norm, but which, when it was made, was pioneering. Although done in a darkly monochromatic cinemagraphic style with frame POVs and shot angles drawn directly from comic books, Len Wiseman's direction is so fresh and dynamic as to make this movie infinitely superior to even Steven Spielberg epics. When Kate Beckinsale's (patent leather never looked so tasty) character jumps off a building to stalk after a retreating "Lycan," the wire work is as good as anything out of China. "War without end. Vampire vrs. Lycan (Lycanthrope), the Lycanthropes were the daytime guardians of the vampires until they broke away and started (or did they) a bloody war that has raged, unnoticed by the human world, down through the ages.

Summary of Underworld: Evolution [Blu-ray]

The saga continues as the battle rages on between the death dealers (vampires) & the lycans (werewolves) in this fast-paced modern-day tale of deadly action ruthless intrigue & forbidden love all leading to the battle to end all wars as the immortals finally face their retribution. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 06/20/2006 Starring: Kate Beckinsale Tony Curran Run time: 106 minutes Rating: R

Better action, a bit of sex, and gorier R-rated violence make Underworld: Evolution a reasonably satisfying sequel to 2003's surprise hit Underworld. Looking stunning as ever in her black leather battle gear, Kate Beckinsale is every goth guy's fantasy as Selene, the vampire "death dealer" who's now fighting to stop the release of the original "Lycan" werewolf, William (Brian Steele) from the prison that's held him for centuries. As we learn from the film's action-packed prologue, William and his brother Marcus (Tony Curran) began the bloodline of vampires and werewolves, and after witnessing centuries of warfare between them, their immortal father Corvinus (Derek Jacobi) now seeks Selene and the human vampire/lycan hybrid Michael (Scott Speedman) to put an end to the war perpetuated by Victor (Bill Nighy), the vampire warrior whose betrayal of Selene turns Underworld: Evolution into an epic tale of familial revenge. This ambitious attempt at Shakespearean horror is compromised by a script (by Danny McBride and returning director Len Wiseman, Beckinsale's real-life husband) that's more confusing than it needs to be, with too many characters and not enough storytelling detail to flesh them all out. Aspiring to greatness and falling well short of that goal, Underworld: Evolution succeeds instead as a full-throttle action/horror thriller, with enough swordplay, gunplay, and CGI monsters to justify the continuation of the Underworld franchise. If you're an established fan, this is a must-see movie; if not, well... at least it's better than Van Helsing! --Jeff Shannon
