The follow up to Underworld doesn’t disappoint and instead expands on its mythology.
Synopsis: After killing Viktor, one of the elders, Selene is hunted by Marcus, Viktor’s maker, on his quest to find his brother William. With Michael by her side, she will try to stop Marcus and William from joining forces to bring about mayhem all over the world.
Beckinsale reprises a role that seems written for her while Speedman continues to please the eyes more than the mind. Sir Derek Jacobi (Alexander Corvinus) and a magnetic Tony Curran (Marcus) complete a good cast. The story is once again written well enough and based on an interesting enough premise that the final result is quite successful.
The Bottom Line: With improved visual effects (likely due to a bigger budget) and a great villain, Underworld: Evolution doesn’t disappoint and delivers a couple hours of tension and fun.
Grade: 6
