In the Underworld, the ongoing war between the Vampires and the Lycans!

Rating: Null/10 (12 June 2006)

I found this to be a very entertaining movie, with a very aggressive sound track. Fantasy, of course ... unless you really are a Vampire or a Lycan (Werewolf). There is even a decent story involved.
Kate Beckinsale, so good as the pretty nurse in 'Pearl Harbor', plays Selene here, a highly trained fighting Vampire, using her native London accent. In this strange underworld, the Vampires are the good guys, and they seek to snuff out all the Lycans for the betterment of their world. Bill Nighy who is so good in comedic roles (like the singer in 'Love Actually') is good here as the grand Vampire of them all, forced to come out of his sleeping state a century too soon.
The thread of a story has to do with the Lycans tracking down all living 'human' relatives of a long ago Lycan, and the one they look for is Michael Corvin, played by Scott Speedman (of TV 'Felicity' fame). And also finding that not all of the Vampires are pulling together on this. Selene takes it upon herself to protect Corvin, partly because she likes him, but also to keep the Lycans from their mission.
The Lycans are vulnerable to silver, but they have an amazing ability to squeeze out silver bullets. So, the Vampires invent something deadlier, bullets with silver nitrate solution in them.
Sophia Myles who plays Isolde in the more recent 'Tristan + Isolde ' movie, is one of the Vampires here.
