The story revolves around Selene (Kate Beckinsale), three vampire elders (Markus, Viktor, and Amelia), William Corvinus (Brian Steele) and Michael (Scott Speedman). Plot and storytelling was confusing while the film overall overlong because of the action. Flashback was somewhat overdone which adds to the chaos. Special effects and fight scenes were good. Beckinsale gives a more sincere performane here. Underworld: Evolution has its moments, overall it was just alright. |

Better than the first. Faster paced and provides more straight up vampire on werewolf brawling. Violently fun. |

The ferocious and stylish action sequences that made the first film so Matrix-esque get bogged down by too much exposition and dialogue in this sequel. There are still some intense and entertaining action setpieces, but the majority of the film is disjointed and unevenly paced. |

HARDCORE GOTHIC. It's not limited to the Prius. Even MICHAEL (SCOTT SPEEDMAN) is def a vamp-wolf hybrid. Three centuries of feud between the two species. What made it an overkill was when BECKINSALE and SPEEDMAN crossed the line. Well, what do you expect? It's the age of the hybrids! We'll have to find a better term for this inter-species co-habitation. But KATE BECKINSALE's tantalizing crystal-blue eyes, her wet-looking tight bodysuit made this whole movie worth watching. |

"Underworld: Evolution" by Yojimbo |

Carrying on directly from the first film, Beckinsale and Speedman are on the run from the first vampire, a virtually unkillable uber-vamp who wants to unleash his twin brother and uber-wolf on the world. Let's face it, the plot to this film is all a bit irrelevant really. It's all about flashy visuals and non-stop action to the point it resembles an albeit super-cool videogame. There's so much eye candy it made my teeth hurt (not the least of which is Ms Beckinsale herself of course) and the action is pretty much non-stop to the point where characters were introduced and immediately killed off again once they'd served their purpose. But I did like it's unpretentious, no-nonsense approach that lacked the self absorbed pomposity that ruined the first film and the action is far more entertai... |

De-evolotion of Film |

I dislike movies where as an audience member I spend more thought on the story than the writers, closer attention to the dialogue than the actors, and a keener eye on storytelling than the director. Underworld Evolution is just such a movie.
The movie starts out with a long and complicated backstory about the first vampire and werewolf. If by the time it’s over, if you are still awake, the film then jumps right back into the scene where the first Underworld ended. Selene (Kate Beckinsale) and Michael (Scott Speedman) go on the run from their enemies, and the enemies of their enemies for some reason not explained (explanation isn’t this series strong suit), and find a human who has lived for centuries (because he’s Dick Clark?) and more insanity that will actually make your brain tu... |
