Unrated Extended Cut Review

Rating: 5/10 (6 June 2007)

A war has been raging between the Vampires and Lycan for centuries, Selene is a death dealer, assigned to hunt down and eradicate the last of the Lycan. When she comes across Michael Corvin who holds the key to end the war she must decide where her allegiances will lie.
I was really looking forward to this film and it fell below my expectations. Usually, these "war between two creatures" films are really entertaining, like Van Helsing or AVP, but this one, it's just flat out boring.
I really did not care what happened throughout the movie. I didn't care who died or who were the bad guys. It's a great concept but the story didn't interest me and it was partly confusing, although the CGI, cinematography, and production design were good.
The action scenes, which were meant to entertain, were boring, more like gun fights from The Matrix rather than any creature fights from monster movies (I understand they have to save their budget). Kate Beckinsale was sexy in her tights but very dull in her acting as well as many could call this a "dull" film.
This is a very stylish horror film that just falls flat with its boring action scenes and slow pacing. The story isn't interesting enough to follow and the characters dull. Want an entertaining monster film? Watch Van Helsing or AVP.
