It opens up with my favorite scene in the entire series with the werewolves transforming in the village (“They’re turning!”) and it just never lets up. It’s a pretty simple story, but it never stops moving. Taking place directly after the first movie, the plot this time is basically Selene and Michael on the run and trying to learn more about why there is even a war between vampires and werewolves in the first place.

But, frankly, the second movie in the franchise, which was also directed by Len Wiseman, is definitely my favorite in the series. You might think Underworld: Evolution sucks, and you’re welcome to that opinion.
Overall, I do get the love for this prequel. Plus, it’s SO dark that it’s hard to see some of the action. But I was really hoping for a badass werewolf movie, and this film is not that. The plot is right there in the title, so you get what you pay for. So, I guess my dislike for this movie is likely more my fault than the film’s. You see, the Lycans, who were always looked down upon by vampires, were especially looked down upon because they were once slaves, and this movie tells the story of a werewolf named Lucien (Michael Sheen) and his love for the head vampire’s daughter, Sonja (Rhona Mitra). I guess it all boils down to this being more of a slave rebellion film than a werewolf movie. Directed by Patrick Tatopoulos, Rise of the Lycans is an origin story about how the war between the Lycans and the vampires first started. The third movie in the series, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, is likely your favorite. Yes, it’s pretty violent, but it also looks kind of cartoony in its bloodshed. But the action and drama that come off of this plot feel super stale. The idea that the world is aware of vampires is a good one, kind of like that underrated gem, Daybreakers. I think Underworld: Awakening had its heart in the right place, but unfortunately, a stake was slammed right through that heart. In this sequel, which follows the events of the second movie, Selene and Michael’s daughter, Eve (played by India Eisley) is being hunted by Lycans because they think her DNA will make them bigger, better, faster, stronger, like that one Daft Punk song. What I mean is, it has the same feel with the whole laboratory aspect, and the hybrid storyline. Directed by Mans Marlind and Bjorn Stein, I consider the fourth movie in the series, Underworld: Awakening, to be the Resident Evil of the Underworld franchise.
