 Underworld: Evolution (DVD)
 Underworld: Evolution (DVD) ... released 19 June, 2006 at Entertainment in Video / Features of the DVD: PAL / 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 ShannonNewest Review: ... or is there a deeper rooted problem caused by saturation marketing in all forms of media. By the time people realise ... more ... (assuming they do) they've been duped into seeing bits of Blade and the Matrix badly remade its too late, the bankers have the money.
By the way when I say talent I'm not referring to the actors, writers or directors but the CGI artists, DoP, Art Directors etc (who are this films only saving grace) who could be put to work on something original and entertaining.
That's not to say Wiseman has no talent he obviously has the ability to network and convince people to invest in sh it like this. I suppose as well he can proj...more |

To appreciate Underworld: Evolution, you really need to have seen Underworld first. As a sequel, this is one of those films that continues a previous plotline in such detail that whilst it isn’t completely impossible to watch in its own right, it makes far more sense if you do. So bear with me whilst I bring you up to speed on where we are. The Story So Far… ** Contains plot spoilers for anyone who hasn’t seen the first movie** The first movie introduced us to an age old battle between werewolves (Lycans) and vampires (Death Dealers), still being fought on the streets today. Dark and brooding Selene is one of the vampiric Death Dealers ... Read the complete review
