Movie: Underworld Evolution

Distributor:Screen Gems
Release:January 20th, 2006
Genre:Suspense/Horror
MPAA Rating:R for pervasive strong violence and gore, some sexuality/nudity and language.


To start off: even in the first Underworld movie, I liked Selene (Kate Beckinsale) better than I liked Michael (Scott Speedman).

Michael gets more action in this second installment, but he still is, like the movie, dependent on Selene.

If the first movie had two clans always fighting each other, we find in this movie that the ancestors of both clans were twin brothers who were close to each other. One (the vampire) has woken up and is looking for the other (lycan) who is locked up. Selene would find herself battling the first and strongest of the vampires.

To spice the story up some more, the writers decided to add the twins' father as the first immortal who is neither vampire or lycan, but moves about as a normal human being, cleaning up after the mess of his offsprings' descendants.

Cool premise. The execution wasn't that great but it was still entertaining.
