Tribes of vampires and werewolves battle for supremacy among the undead in this follow-up to the horror hit Underworld. Tracing the bloody history of the ongoing war between the Death Dealers, a gang of upper-crust vampires, and the Lycans, a pack of scruffy werewolves, Underworld: Evolution finds beautiful Death Dealer Selene (Kate Beckinsale) and hunky Lycan Michael (Scott Speedman) exploring their own pasts as well as those of their comrades in hope of uncovering the secrets of this centuries-old conflict. As Selene and Michael deal with their bloody legacy as well as their forbidden romance, the violence between the Death Dealers and the Lycans escalates in what may be the final face-off between them. Directed by Len Wiseman, who also helmed the first film, Underworld: Evolution also stars Shane Brolly, Bill Nighy, Tony Curran, and Derek Jacobi. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Better than its predecessor (mostly because it doesn't extend its vampire-vs-lycan fights to the point of complete boredom), UNDERWORLD: EVOLUTION boasts an even better Brit cast this time around. We get (but barely enough of) not just Bill Nighy and Michael Sheen but Derek Jacobi and Steven Mackintosh!
I'd have to watch the first one again to figure out more about why this sequel is superior, and since wild horses couldn't drag me to that endeavor, you'll just have to see for yourself. There's enough "story" here to choke one of those horses, and it's offered up in an expository manner that makes your favorite soap opera seem subtle and reticent. But if you're a fan of the vampire and/or werewolf genres, chances are you've queued this one up already. |
