“Underworld” fans unite because the latest installment of the “Underworld” saga was made specifically for you. That’s right folks: The dream is still alive and running. We join Selene once again in the heat of battle, but this time with humans. After discovering the existence of vampires and werewolves, the humans do what they do best: total eradication.
Twelve years of being a popsicle hasn’t improved the life of vampires much as Selene realizes in this installment. She wakes up to find 90 percent of her race has been decimated by a horrible human vs. non-human war. And get this: The werewolves are secretly masterminding it. The lycan (werewolf ) race desperately searches for the vaccine to cure their weakness to silver. Turns out they can get
more done if they pit the human race against their bloodsucking enemies.
The casting was very well selected, and the performances were top shelf. Although the theme was a repetitive one, I was still able to remain conscious. This was owed, of course, to the flawless decoration. The differentiation of the dark and brooding world of the non-human and the sharp realism of the human world kept my eyes wide open.
The opulence of the décor, however elaborate, did not disguise the combination science fiction-fantasy specific language of the film. Those who have kept up with the saga can follow with ease, and those new to the series should acquaint themselves with the language beforehand.
The motion picture did manage a three out of five star rating in my opinion for the wonderful acting and the beautiful set design.
The film was a great success in many viewers book, and I’m sure it will be on DVD and Blue Ray in no time.
