There’s also a gigantic reveal involving David ( Theo James), Selene’s only apparent ally, Thomas’ son introduced in Awakening. There’s a big double-cross, which shouldn’t come as any sort of surprise for those who have stuck with Underworld from the beginning. That includes their dealings with Selene, sending word to the former Death Dealer that they’d like her back at their eastern fortress, eager for her to train a new generation of fighters in this seemingly never-ending war against the lycans. With that being the case, the elders of the remaining clans, thanks in large part to the urging of the trusted Thomas ( Charles Dance), make the uneasy decision to rethink a number of their current positions. While their primary task is the hunting of Selene, the lycans, led by a new, strangely powerful leader named Marius ( Tobias Menzies), have also done a remarkable job wiping out a number of the vampire strongholds. The latter want the blood of that now teenage girl, believing her mother, despite protestations to the contrary, know where Eve’s hiding and thus will do whatever it takes to get that information out of her head. The former look at her as a traitor, willing to kill the elders of her clan in order to protect her hybrid lover Michael (Speedman, still apparently declining to return to the franchise and only appearing here via flashbacks) as well as the spawn of their union, beloved daughter Eve. All-in-all, as silly as they might be I can watch any of these moonlit supernatural thrillers without reservation, and while I’d never claim any are excellent the fact I enjoy them for what they are is perfectly satisfactory in my book.īuilding off the events of Awakening, Underworld: Blood Wars finds Selene on the run from vampires and lycans alike. Things took a slight step back with 2009’s Selene-less prequel Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, but 2012’s Underworld: Awakening worked pretty well, Beckinsale once again back kicking human and werewolf butt even if her co-star and love interest from the first two films, Scott Speedman, was nowhere to be found. I actually like these movies, especially the second one, 2006’s Underworld: Evolution, its unabashed absurd gruesomeness and pugnacious creativity as far as the action scenes were concerned particularly satisfying.
