Selene (Kate Beckinsale), az üldözött vámpír fel akarja kutatni Marcust (Tony Curran), a vámpírok királyát, hogy alkut kössön vele az életéért cserébe. Michael (Scott Speedman), a hibrid csatlakozni akar Selene-hez a keresésben, de képtelen az énje egyik felében dühöngő farkasemberben bízni és Selene visszautasítja az ajánlatot. Szerelmük azonban erősebbnek bizonyul a genetikánál, amikor Marcus rajtaüt Selene-en, hogy megsemmisítse a vámpír-lányt. Selene felfedezi, hogy a saját családja árulta el őt és elhatározza, hogy bosszút áll. (SPI)

Filmtrükkök szempontjából a Van Helsing című film olcsóbb, kék-szűrős változata, ami annál kiszámíthatóbb, minél jobban közelebb kerül a záró feliratokhoz. De hála a rövidebb játékidőnek és Kate Beckinsale nagyszerű imidzsének, kevésbé unatkoztam, mint Van Helsing filmnél.

Van Helsing, Blade 2, Terminator. When watching the second Underworld, you sometimes get the feeling that you are watching a hybrid of all these movies. But a very entertaining hybrid, I should say. Wiseman’s directing hasn’t improved one bit since part one. But thanks to having more money, we get a more bombastic story and even bigger craziness than last time. And to top things we get Kate Beckinsale in a latex suit, so who could want anything more from this summer put-your-feet-up movie.

Better action, meaningful mythology, and the ever more attractive Kate Beckinsale still aren't enough for at least a solid film. The Underworld series will forever remain an unfinished great idea for me. Evolution, although aiming relatively high, is brought down by the tiresome crucial battle and trivial conclusion.

Len Wiseman is not a good screenwriter by any stretch of the imagination (I was convinced of this unfortunate fact when I saw the first film) and he is definitely not a good director (which I somehow, strangely accepted last time). Underworld: Evolution amounts to a bunch of awkward dialogues that are supposed to be interludes between the frantic action, which the director used excessively. But according to the motto "too much of everything is bad," Underworld is an overly noisy, flashing, and frenetically edited spectacle that glues together boring dead weight from the plot. For some reason, they strangely cut out the werewolves and the film more or less revolves around strange vampire "politics" that are laughable. The Speedman-Beckinsale duo starts off with a nice sex scene, which is where their pros in the film end. Underworld: Evolution is nothing more than a popcorn movie trying to be something more. It's not enough just to have perfect technical aspects (sound, cinematography, CGI) and dirty-looking sets to add to the film's rawness. It lacks a plot with more sense and maybe a little bit of directorial inventiveness. Perhaps that's why I'm skeptical about the idea of a trilogy.

Exactly one star better than the fist one. There is more and better action, better cinematography and effects, less pompous and empty bullshit (but of course there is no lack of it either), only Wiseman's vampire-lykan mythology remains uninteresting and dull. PS: Scott, I can't tell you how much I can relate regarding the erection...
