Movie Reviews of Underworld - Evolution (Fullscreen Special Edition)
Movie Review: Hopefully, Part III Will be Better...
Summary: 2 Stars
Nowhere near as good, at least in my opinion, as the original Underworld. Too much gore and a weak plot. Bought this via Video On Demand, but I wish now I had just rented it (lesson learned). One redeeming factor: getting to watch Kate Beckinsale for an hour and a half --almost made the experience worthwhile, but not quite.
Summary of Underworld - Evolution (Fullscreen Special Edition)
Kate Beckinsale is back as vampire heroine Selene in the highly anticipated sequel to Underworld.Underworld Evolution continues the saga of war between the aristocratic Death Dealers and the barbaric Lycans (werewolves). The film traces the beginnings of the ancient feud between the two tribes as Selene (Kate Beckinsale) the vampire heroine and her love Michael (Scott Speedman) the lycan hybrid try to unlock the secrets of their bloodlines. The tale of action intrigue and forbidden love takes them into the battle to end all wars as the immortals must finally face their retribution.System Requirements:Run Time: 106 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating:?R UPC:?043396147324 Manufacturer No:?14732Better 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
