Vamps vs. Lycans: Pass the popcorn, man!!

Rating: 7/10 (28 January 2006)

Who doesn't love a good fight between 2 immortal enemies?!?! Underworld delivers all the bites & slashes you can handle. Kate Beckinsale makes this movie work with rogue attitude, slick duds, & killer looks. It is very hard to watch this film without watching Beckinsale kick Lycan butt & look good doing it!
For centuries, Vampyres & Lycans(Werewolves) have waged a bloody war for control of the night. Beckinsale stars as Selena, a vampire Deathdealer who uncovers a secret plot to rip apart the vampire nation & unleash a legendary monster to tip the balance of power between Vamps & Lycans. Selena soon discovers that current vamp leader Kraven has made a pact with the Lycan leader Lucian to overthrow sleeping vamp king Viktor & call a truce to the bloodshed. In the middle of all this is Michael Corvinas, med student & ancestor to the Corvinas bloodline which will give rise to a new creature both Vampyre & Lycan. Selena works to save him from certain death by both sides & puts herself in jeopardy. To expose Kraven & restore order to the Vamps, Selena awakens Viktor a century early to gain his confidence. Angry & bloodthirsty for Lycan, Viktor learns the truth & wages war on the Lycans. Michael turns into the creature, Selena learns that Viktor killed her family, & the final battle ensues. Selena kills Viktor & takes Michael on the run with her.
Underworld blends good special effects & make-up as well as kick-ass fight scenes throughout the film. A great flick on a date night or if you just like a terrific action movie. Take a peek!!!
