as promised...UNDERWORLD EVOLUTION
Running time: approx: 1 hour 42mins Cert: 18
The film takes us back to the tale of Seline and just a few days have passed since the end of the first film (Underworld) So Selene and a slightly bewildered Micheal (the now Were-wolf Vampire hybrid) are on the run after the murder of Victor one of the Vampire clan's Elders, as Marcus, the last of the Vampire Elders has awoken early, he is stronger than ever before and not a happy bunny. He hunts down the pair seeking revenge....
Marcus, the first Vampire, also needs to find Selene for other more pressing personal reasons. Selene is the only one who knows the location where the first Were-wolf is imprisoned...
Tried not to completely ruin the plot for you !
Well the sequel definitely has more blood and gore than the original and a couple of 'scenes of a sexual nature' There's plenty of action with guns, knives and just plain fantastic 'Brute force' fighting going on. As with the first film there's a good selection of 'stunts' and special effects, particularly Marcus the first (scary) Vampire with the bat wings ! which was very impressive. So was the big brute first Were-wolf ! The acting is good particularly the character of poor human hybrid Micheal as he has a lot to discover and deal with, but good all round really. Once more there's a good Rock soundtrack to compliment the action.
BONUS FEATURES includes: Feature length commentary By Director Len Wiseman, Editor Nick De Toth, Production Designer Patrick Tatopoulos & Stunt Coordinator brad martin / Bloodlines; from Script To Screen / The Hybrid Theory / Making Monsters Roar / The War Rages On / building A Saga / Music And Mayhem / Music Video " her Portrait In Black "
So we have commentary that basically talks you through the film. A more in-depth look at the characters. Some interviews with people who made the CGI and explaining how things were done. A look at the stunts and fight sequences and some interviews with the stunt coordinator and actors. The making monsters was good as with the first film it shows you the work that goes into making theses characters so great, how the were-wolf costumes are made and improvements made since the first film. Bulding a saga shows how the sets were designed and made, also includes interviews with people who designed the set. The Music and mayhem shows how the music works with the film and sound effects - the work that went into producing the roar of the Were-wolf. Finally the music video 'Her portrait in black' by Atreyu very Heavy Rock/Metal. Noise and loud guitar !!
So in my opinion this is a good follow-on to a good film plenty of action some great effects and fight scenes but with more horror blood and guts action. not forgetting the 'romance' aspect with Selene and Michael...It would help if you watch the original first but not completely essential as there are various 'Flashback' bits that sneak in throughout the film to help you know whats been happening and get up to speed. Though personally I'd recommend watching 'Underworld' first.
