This one of my favorite vampire franchises and I was extremely excited for this one, the fourth in the series (even thrilled after watching it because it hinted to another movie). The only thing that was a little "off pudding" was that Scott Speedman did not return to reprise his role of Michael. Another actor, with a similar look and build stood in for him. The good thing is that the movie is not based on Michael's character at all, involves him, but not about him. When the movie opens, we discover that the human world has discovered the existence of Vampires and Lycans. Seeing the two as a virus and a curse, they begin to eliminate as many members of each species as they humanly can. In this pursuit, Michael and Selene are captured.
Twelve years after her capture, Selene is aroused out of her frozen state (think Demolition Man) and gathering her senses she tries to meet up with who she believes is Michael. She believes it is Michael because she can see what he sees and understandably so, she feels that is the only being she is connected to. When she finds who released her, she is surprised at the discovery that it was a 12 year old girl who freed her, and this girl is now the subject of inquiry by both the Lycans and the company who held them both prisoner. Selene immediately senses the need to protect this young girl who is neither vampire or lycan but a combination of them both, which has only been seen in Michael. Who is this young girl and why is she so valuable?
This is another wonderful chapter in the Underworld series and if you are a fan, I recommend you watching it.
I give it an 8 out of 10.
Next up is "The Blitz."
