Movie Reviews of Underworld: Rise of the Lycans [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Love the Lycans
Summary: 5 Stars

It is always good to have the story behind the story. If you liked underworld you will probably like this one. I consider this the best of the 3. It shows many different aspects in the hierarchy of the lycans and vampires. Victor's love of his daughter, and pride - prejudice toward the lycans, jealousy, envy, hate. Well acted piece and well directed, slightly cheesy on some of the special affects (blood splatter, etc), but over all really good. Id give it 4.5 out of 5.

Summary of Underworld: Rise of the Lycans [Blu-ray]

Genre: Action/Adventure
Rating: R
Release Date: 12-MAY-2009
Media Type: Blu-Ray

This prequel to Len Wiseman?s Underworld and Underworld: Evolution is distinctively different, especially minus the nimble vampire warrior star, Selene (Kate Beckinsale). Underworld: Rise of the Lycans takes its cues from the vampire/werewolf battles that occur in the other films, but director Patrick Tatopoulos focuses here on the young werewolf Lucian's (Michael Sheen) rise to leadership. Rise of the Lycans is set mostly within the walls of vampire lord Viktor?s (Bill Nighy) castle, so the film?s silver, black, and blue palette reflects a world happening under moonlight. From the outset, when Viktor brings Lucian, the first werewolf, into the world, this villainous bloodsucker?s daughter, Sonja (Rhona Mitra), is smitten with Lucian?s hairy appearance and instinctual intelligence. As years pass, Lucian grows tired of watching his race suffer slavery and imprisonment, and recruits a human named Raze (Kevin Grevioux) to assist rebellion. This archetypal plot is not so riveting, and what carries Underworld: Rise of the Lycans are the battle scenes between vampires and werewolves, which are excitingly fast-paced and brutal. The whole film adopts a medieval battlefield aesthetic that carries an otherwise clichéd story about illicit love and freedom fighting. Some characters, like the traitor vampire Tannis (Steven Mackintosh), also intrigues throughout, as one guesses who he will ally with. Underworld: Rise of the Lycans may not be the finest film in the werewolf and vampire archives independently, but its mixed monstrosity makes it unique and entertaining, especially on a big screen. --Trinie Dalton
