La lucha milenaria entre depredadores ha adoptado nuevas dimensiones de violencia. Ha nacido una nueva raza en nada comparable a ninguna otra conocida. Traicionada por los de su propio clan, la guerrera vampiro Selene (Kate Beckinsale), busca venganza. Para ello, decide descubrir la verdad sobre la identidad del primer Inmortal verdadero. No es Marcus, el rey de los vampiros como se creía, sino Alexander Corvinus, padre de Marcus y de su hermano gemelo William. Selene y el híbrido Michael (Scott Speedman), protagonistas de un amor prohibido, lucharán juntos contra el poderoso Marcus, quien está decidido a liberar a su hermano preso y usar la sed de sangre de éste para llegar a dominar el mundo.

Una versión más difícil, más barata y con un filtro más azul de Van Helsing que resulta tanto más previsible cuanto más se acerca a los créditos finales. Pero gracias a la duración más corta y a la gran imagen de Kate Beckinsale, me aburrí menos que con Helsing.

Exactly one star better than the fist one. There is more and better action, better cinematography and effects, less pompous and empty bullshit (but of course there is no lack of it either), only Wiseman's vampire-lykan mythology remains uninteresting and dull. PS: Scott, I can't tell you how much I can relate regarding the erection...

Van Helsing, Blade 2, Terminator. When watching the second Underworld, you sometimes get the feeling that you are watching a hybrid of all these movies. But a very entertaining hybrid, I should say. Wiseman’s directing hasn’t improved one bit since part one. But thanks to having more money, we get a more bombastic story and even bigger craziness than last time. And to top things we get Kate Beckinsale in a latex suit, so who could want anything more from this summer put-your-feet-up movie.

Better action, meaningful mythology, and even more attractive Kate Beckinsale still aren't enough for at least a solid film. The Underworld series will forever remain an unfinished great idea for me. Evolution, although aiming relatively high, is brought down by the tiresome crucial battle and trivial conclusion.

Len Wiseman is not a good screenwriter by any stretch of the imagination (I was convinced of this unfortunate fact when I saw the first film) and he is definitely not a good director (which I somehow, strangely accepted last time). Underworld: Evolution amounts to a bunch of awkward dialogues that are supposed to be interludes between the frantic action, which the director used excessively. But according to the motto "too much of everything is bad," Underworld is an overly noisy, flashing, and frenetically edited spectacle that glues together boring dead weight from the plot. For some reason, they strangely cut out the werewolves and the film more or less revolves around strange vampire "politics" that are laughable. The Speedman-Beckinsale duo starts off with a nice sex scene, which is where their pros in the film end. Underworld: Evolution is nothing more than a popcorn movie trying to be something more. It's not enough just to have perfect technical aspects (sound, cinematography, CGI) and dirty-looking sets to add to the film's rawness. It lacks a plot with more sense and maybe a little bit of directorial inventiveness. Perhaps that's why I'm skeptical about the idea of a trilogy.
