Underworld (Unrated) [Blu-ray]

In the Underworld, Vampires are a secret clan of modern aristocratic sophisticates whose mortal enemies are the Lycans (werewolves), a shrewd gang of street thugs who prowl the city's underbelly. Noone knows the origin of their bitter blood feud, but the balance of power between them turns even bloodier when a beautiful young Vampire warrior and a newly-turned Lycan with a mysterious past fall in love. Kate Beckinsale and Scott Speedman star in this modern-day, action-packed tale of ruthless intrigue and forbidden passion ­ all set against the dazzling backdrop of a timeless, Gothic metropolis.

Blade meets The Crow and The Matrix in Underworld, a hybrid thriller that rewrites the rulebook on werewolves and vampires. It's a "cuisinart" movie (blend a lot of familiar ideas and hope something interesting happens) in which immortal vampire "death dealers" wage an ancient war against "Lycans" (werewolves), who've got centuries of revenge--and some rather ambitious genetic experiments--on their lycanthropic agenda. Given his preoccupation with gloomy architecture (mostly filmed in Budapest, Hungary), frenetic mayhem and gothic costuming, it's no surprise that first-time director Len Wiseman gained experience in TV commercials and the art departments of Godzilla, Men in Black, and Independence Day. His work is all surface, no substance, filled with derivative, grand-scale action as conflicted vampire Selene (Kate Beckinsale, who later became engaged to Wiseman) struggles to rescue an ill-fated human (Scott Speedman) from Lycan transformation. It's great looking all the way, and a guaranteed treat for horror buffs, who will eagerly dissect its many strengths and weaknesses. --Jeff Shannon

Underworld (Unrated) [Blu-ray] Reviews

The special effects are excellent and Kate Beckingsale is excellent as the lead. I am waiting for a third in the series. I enjoyed and own both movies on Blu-Ray. Underworld (Unrated) [Blu-ray] This is definitely on of the best movies combining Vampires and Werewolves. And yes, the action is great and so is the mood of both films.

fairly tired subject matter gets a nice boost in this movie. Great show and great special effects. Kate in BluRay. Rather than go point to point over the movie, I have only to add that the plot is great and never drags, the settings and scenery look fantastic, and the best part: they did not over use wires and impossible body contortions in the special effects to make it entirely unbelievable. a must have.

The item was received earlier than estimated and in the condition that it was promised.

UNDERWORLD includes all the universal Vampire and Werewolf lore - sunlight kills Vamps, silver kills Lycans, you become a Vampire or a Werewolf from a bite. Very few even remember how the blood feud started. Even if you aren't a fan of monster flicks, you will enjoy UNDERWORLD. Or has it. Epic battles, high-speed chases, gun fights, impossible stunts, blood and gore (although less than you would think), and fantastic transformations keep you on the edge of your seat.

And this is what the Lycans are looking for. The acting is impressive, with Kate Beckinsale, Scott Speedman, and Michael Sheen all giving scene-stealing performances. But the crossing of a Vamp with a Lycan has always been forbidden. But added to the standard lore is the theory that there is a line of humans who carry a gene that enables them to survive a bite from BOTH a Vampire and a Lycanthrope.

It makes for a great popcorn evening at home. UNDERWORLD is action-packed from the get go; you jump right in and it never lets up. Vampires and Lycans (werewolves) have been at war for untold centuries. I'd like to go shopping were the Vamps do. And something bigger and badder than both. It is clearly too intense for the youngest members of the family, but tweens and up should be just fine.

Apparently, something the Lycans want and the Vampires don't. Not too many surprises in this area (although these precepts are taken to new heights), making it easier to keep up with the plot. UNDERWORLD, a faced-paced, in your face, kick-a** monster movie, tries to answer that age old question. The rest of the cast, including Bill Nighy, are equally good in there respective roles. The directing/cinematography/editing are excellent, cutting away from anything truly disgusting before you really see it; leaving the rest to your vivid imagination.

So, what DO you get, when you cross a Vampire with a Lycanthrope. And let me just say, the costuming for UNDERWORLD is marvelous: gorgeous dresses, fabulous leathers, skin-tight cat suits.

kicks werewolf/vampire butt in this movie. The sound was OK, not the best (the gun shots could have been louder). The way the story was written is good. I enjoyed this movie. The picture quality is top notch, really deep blacks and well colored blue/gray hues. And of course Kate B.
