Compare Prices on Underworld – Evolution
The initiate of the fresh year is usually dazzling stupid when it comes to astronomical films. Most of the time its when films not deemed summer blockbuster or holiday season generous win scheduled for release. Len Wiseman’s Underworld: Evolution is a step up from most of the garbage and fillers that ruin up being shown in January. This sequel to the Kate Beckinsale’s 2003 gothic-actioner continues where the first film left off but with the increase in budget and less of an introductory feel to the characters. The film ends up looking quite great with action sequences that tops the first film and actually provides a record that adds to the mythology created in the first one.

Right from the beginning with its vampire knights and rabid, peasant werewolves, Underworld: Evolution shows that the film will be more rollercoaster stride than a sight in character and themes. This is a agreeable thing and Wiseman doesn’t try to deviate from this formula. He knows honest exactly what his films trying to do and doesn’t try to overanalyze the situations. The production effect smooth has the European watch to it from the sets and station (coincidentally status in Eastern Europe) to the costume and prop designs. The film also makes heavy consume of blue-filters to give the film that industrial behold. Sometimes the sequences even takes on the gaze of a crisp, sunless and white film when the action is region at night with minimal light.
The sage continues the struggle between the vampire clans and the lycan rebels from the first film. This time around Selene and the lycan hybrid, Michael are hunted by both sides as they struggle to search for the answers to their questions about Viktor’s (Selene’s vampire primogenitor and one of the clan elders) betrayal of her trust and the shared past of both vampire and lycan clans. Wiseman and McBride (the film’s co-writer with Wiseman) do a great job in summarizing the basic site points from the first film through dream-like sequences whenever blood is drank by the last surviving elder (Marcus as played by genre stale Tony Curran) . One doesn’t need to peek the first film to win the gist of what’s going on in this sequel, but it’ll quiet aid if one had some knowledge going in. What i found particularly spicy was the past history of Marcus and how his past tied in with Viktor’s, Selene and in the waste that of Michael’s. An even older character than Marcus makes an appearance that helps tie the two films together.

The cast itself did an adequate to admirable job in doing their parts. Thankfully, Wiseman exiguous Scott Speedman’s scene time with dialogue to a minimum. Speedman stunning worthy spends most of the film in his hybrid fabricate and performing fight scenes. I contemplate this decision a major plus for the film. Sir Derek Jacobi adds abit of gravitas to the film as an elder, behind-the-scenes manipulator or the two clans. But in the raze the film is all about Kate Beckinsale and she’s never looked better. She delviers her lines with enough conviction to compose them believable, but at the same time shows fair how distinguished she’s having. It didn’t wound the film that she again gets to parade around in sad, tight leather and latex and in one sequence beautiful great nothing. She also does a fine convincing job of being a kick-ass action heroine. I wouldn’t mind it if she took on an action-film here and there to supplement her more serious works.
The action scenes were better than the first film, but not so over-the-top that they go from frigid to cartoonish like most action-film sequels. The effects work was more polished and this could be due to a higher budget and a better FX crew. The shapechanging from human to lycan was done considerable better and had less of the computer-generated peek to them. The climactic showdown in the kill with Selene was action-packed and well-done for a film that was sparkling great dumped by Sony Pictures in the graveyard of the film season. This climactic showdown had the audience cheering the most and deservingly so.
In the kill, Underworld: Evolution was a very spellbinding sequel that didn’t try to go beyond its gothic-action film pedigree. I could contemplate this series continue to become a trilogy if Wiseman and McBride have more stories to say about the vampire clans, the lycans, and Selene. The two films are similar to Snipes Blade trilogy, but this time sexier and with abit more an intelligent legend than the Daywalker series. The film wasn’t anything to write to the Academy voters but it did its job in intriguing the audience. 7.5/10
Like some people I like to read reviews by critics before I go survey a movie. As is usually the case with these so called critics, they are blueprint off the sign with this movie. I guess they go into the movie expecting sir Anthony Hopkins to generate a expansive “Acting” performance as in Howard’s Ruin. Hey, this is a horror/action movie you idiots. Even some critics pointed there negativity on the movie being humorless. HUMORLESS? Last time I checked it wasn’t a comedy either.
Many critics also claimed the account to be confusing. I guarantee you they didn’t go encourage and eye the first movie to refresh their minds of the back-story. If the were to, they would recognize that the myth flowed from the prior movie honest comely. Critics!! They drive you crazy and unfortunately sometimes enjoy the fate of a movie in their hands. Thank god for sites like Amazon to accept the word out that this is a very grand movie.
Kate Beckinsale is the hottest vampiress there is for clear. The yarn for me made perfect sense as they have an earyly back-story revisited with the history of the sons of Corvinous (William-bitten by a wolf and Markus-bitten by a bat) that are the basis of this movie.
The special effects are convincing and that’s all that matters to me. Nothing like Star Wars for obvious, but generous enough for this type of movie. And man is there a lot of blood….especially in the last scene. Fun stuff. Many actors return including cameos by Lucian, Kraven, Viktor, and a minute more from Amelia. There really isn’t a “war” between Lycans and vampires as in the previous movie. It’s more a pesonal war between Selene(who discovers her proper importance) and Markus( who was always defiant when it came to his brother William and he never liked Viktor grand) .
All in all a substantial movie that I would stare again and surely lift when the DVD (hopefully an exteneded version) comes out.
One negative in the movie which I didn’t follow. After watching the first movie I got the impression they were in the Unites States. I mean the hospital where Michael worked all the employees spoke English. In the second movie, everyone speaks Russian. I don’t understand that at all. I does kind of produce you ask the put a question to …this negative (although annoying) certainly doesn’t choose away from this fun-filled action/horror flick. Let’s notice another one soon.
Down with the critics!!!
