Underworld plays with the Vampire versus Werewolf, know in the movie as Lycans, legend. Vampires were portrayed as secretive and very sophisticated clan. The Lycans on the other hand as street thugs. The war begun centuries ago and there is not a sign that it’s going to end soon. It escalates more when the Lycans discovered a human that can tolerate mixed blood. He can be a vampire and a Lycan too, which has been a deadly combination before. Selena, a vampire death dealer finds out about Micheal, the human target, and falls in love with him. Can they love stops the war or will only worsen it?
I first saw this movie in a friend’s house and was not able to finish it. I was really curious about the film that I rented out a copy. I really like the Gothic feel of the settings. The costumes and the way the characters are dressed are very apt to what the movie tries to proclaim. The vampires are well sophisticated with their suits and gowns. Selena’s outfit was different from other vampires but it also gives an impression that she is not just an ordinary one. It gives the viewer a head start that Selena is a rebellious one.
Selana was played by Kate Beckinsale and Micheal was played with Scott Speedman. The last movie I saw where Beckinsale is a lead star was Serendipity. Judging form her performance in that movie, I can say that she is really versatile when it comes to acting. I did not believe it at first that the same actress stars on two very different movie genre. I am not quite familiar with Scoot Speedman but he was convincing as Micheal, I think.
The story of the movie maybe based on historic legend but the twist are really interesting. The ending of the movie does not give much answer. Just like any other vampire, makes you crave for more. It’s a good thing that when I had the chance to watch it, its sequel is already on the movie house.
