Underworld - Evolution (DVD)

"Underworld: evolution" is the sequel to "Underworld", the supernatural thriller regarding an old feud between vampires and lycans, and as such is more of the same. By that, I mean uncomplicated fun for those who from time to time enjoy watching a fast paced film that has elements of fantasy in it, and that lacks food for thought but makes up for that with lots of entertainment value.

Are you, like me, one of those people I mentioned above? If the answer is no, do not lose your time, this film is probably not the right one for you. If the answer is yes, I recommend you watch this movie, but only after having enjoyed the first one.

Now I am going to talk a little about the plot of "Underworld: evolution", so if you still have to watch the first movie in the series stop reading now, in order to avoid spoilers. The plot of this sequels picks up where the last one left off, and does an excellent job of allowing us to catch up with Selene (Kate Beckinsale), the beautiful vampire death-dealer, and Michael (Scott Speedman), the young lycan she has feelings for. Michael was turned by Selene into a hybrid of lycan and vampire in order to be saved from certain death, but that act of defiance and the fact that Selene killed an ancient vampire ruler to protect Michael, means that they are both on the run.

But what exactly has Michael turned into, and will they be able to survive? And what will happen when Marcus (Tony Curran), another of the vampire elders, turns into a hybrid of a different kind, and finally achieves the power to free his dangerous brother, William (Brian Steele)? Things become even more complicated when we find out that Marcus was the father of all vampires, as William was the father of all lycans. On top of everything, Marcus and William s father, Alexander Corvinus (Sir Derek Jacobi), decides to meddle and help Selene and Michael to stop his sons. The alternative is chaos, and a world full of crazed lycans running free and wreaking havoc.

In my opinion, Len Wiseman (director) and Danny McBride (scriptwriter) did a great job filling some of the blanks left in the first movie, and continuing to tell us about an alternate universe where vampire and lycans fight for supremacy among mankind. The result is that their story is more believable, and thus more engaging.

All in all, I can say that I really enjoyed watching this film, and that I believe that is even better than the first one. Of course, "Underworld: evolution" is not perfect, but it is so entertaining that does t matter too much. Highly recommended!

It was such a shame how this one turned out, don't get me wrong I did receive ths DVD and the quality was great, however it was what happened after that let this ebayer down. I ordered a further 4 DVD's and made payment immediately, is stated my items would be posted within 10 days, the payment was charged to my card and when I checked it said this ebayer was no longer trading? I re-checked the items and it said he would be back next year? So why was I charged? So I had to complain and am waiting to see what will happen, my first negative ebay experience! Andy

top film should add to your collection must seen film not to be missed a one film special effects good

I am a great lover of this type of film and missed it when it came out at the cinema. The DVD I bought was an import but the quality was good. The film itself is good and carries on well from the first film. A no brainer but well worth a watch just for Katies outfit!!

Excellent follow-up to its predecessor. Special effects are superb and Ms Beckinsale is as sexy as ever! Probably not suitable for under 10s due to violence and occasional (but mild) sex scene.

this is an excellent film i thoughtl, i lov e films about vampires, mutants etc.
this dvd has an excellent picture, loved every minute of it.

great film , great buy and cheap to boot
what more can you ask for, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa+

I had seen the first movie and wanted to see the follow up but i never get the time to go to the cinema as i have a young child so i looked on ebay like i always do before i but things on the high street and i get some great bargains and this was one of them.The film was better than the first one with more action and i like this kind of movie you can just leave normal life behing for the hour and a half the film runs for.Great.

1st one great, 2nd one very disappointing

Simple as that really, although if you watch the 2nd with suitably low expectations it's an OK waste of a couple of hours

2nd one average at best

i brought this dvd because i like the underworld films they are really good so i brought it because i have the first one all i need to get is the 3rd one cant wait to get it when i can the dvd came really quick thats why i buy or bid to get the cheapest dvd and saves you money as well thats why i buy from ebay its good to use and it has got what you are looking for

having seen the first film i was looking to watch this film for a while good old ebay always comes to the rescue "again"
the film starts of where the first one ends a kind of reminder dont want to say to much about the film incase i ruin it for others but i would give it 10/10
kate bekinsale is well fit so thats a good start buy watch enjoy

I was thrilled to find this film, as i already had the 1st film. If you watch this in widescreen format, it really does the fight scene justice; coupled with surround sound, you'll be gripped by the amazing cinematography. Unfortunately the product was a copy and not an original DVD.

Underworld Evolution is the sequel to the successful and popular Underworld. Picking up directly after the original the story of the war between vampires and lycans rages on but now Selene (Beckinsale) and Michael, the hybrid, are wanted by both sides. And now a bigger threat has been released which will hunt them down until they are dead.
A great action packed movie that continues in the same vein as the original, with outstanding gun battles and good wirework, and of course Kate Beckinsale in a skin tight catsuit.
Fans of action and fans of horror will not be disappointed even if this sequel does lean more towards the action elements.
The Dvd has a host of extra features which are the same as the R1 release only on one disc instead of stretched across two.
