Movie Reviews of Underworld - Evolution (Widescreen Special Edition)
Movie Review: Better than the first one
Summary: 5 Stars
This is way better than the first one. Kate is way more dominant in this sequel. Blu-ray is definitely the way to go on this one...the picture quality is amazing! And the sound is even better...you have to watch the beginning forest scene (where Michael runs from the police and Kate comes to save him) in 5.1 surround sound....i've must have watched this scene a dozen times. Overall, a sequel fit for the original, and better in every way.
Summary of Underworld - Evolution (Widescreen Special Edition)
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 ShannonKate 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: 043396144385 Manufacturer No: 14438
