A dark, Gothic, action packed spectacular!

Rating: Null/10 (23 January 2004)

I'll admit it: I'm not a fan of horror films, but this film interested me for a number of reasons.
1. I have likeness of female characters.
2. Selene looked so cool in her black leather suit.
3. The film had a lot of great action (gun fights).
4. The story of vampires at war with werewolves sounded interesting.
Anyway this film is certainly more of an action film than a horror movie. I also found it very intriguing that vampires and werewolves were using both science and modern kinds of weapons against each other. To me it was almost like a human war. Besides this war there is also a lot of twists, lies and conspiracies in both the vampire and werewolf clans, or was it just the vampire clan I couldn't quite tell. So in some ways this film was also like an average thriller/mystery film.
This film also has great some great visuals. Especially the fighting scenes and the views of the dark and Gothic looking city which this movie takes place in.
I liked the heroine of the film Selene the best. She is cool, sexy looking, was willing to risk her livelihood to uncover truths.
So Underworld is certainly a great movie that I recommend to anyone.
