Underworld: Evolution (Underworld 2) 2006
This is what I read two days ago The third movie I've ever seen, I just wanted to write it today, I'm a little lazy.
The plot of the film follows the end of the first part and reverses parts of the previous part, telling the audience that the ancestors of vampires are actually other people. After this real vampire ancestor is resurrected, he wants to save his younger brother, the ancestor of the werewolf, and work together to achieve some evil purpose. As for what this purpose is, I have not seen the whole movie. As a result, the hero and heroines of the previous episode were escaping, finding out the truth and destroying the plans of the vampire ancestors. And in the process of searching for the truth, he encountered the ancestor of the vampire ancestors and werewolf ancestors-their father, and accepted his help. In the end, the film ends in the mode that evil prevails, justice always triumphs over evil, and the male and female protagonists temporarily live a happy life. Looking at the whole film, it is still the old way of Hollywood, there is nothing new, and the "ancestors" of this film appear too frequently, and there are three "ancestors" appearing, which is completely a movie with a large collection of ancestors. The most amazing thing about this film is that the heroine evolves into another creature at the end of the film! Her boyfriend is a magical half-breed, and she herself has become a creature who doesn't know anything, and she can make out such a messy plot. I see how the director of this third film goes on, it's hard to kill you!
Compared with the previous one, this film is much better than the previous one. The plot is relatively smooth, although there are no surprises, but telling the story step by step allows the audience to understand the story. The pulse of the story is very clear: escape - attack - find the truth - find the person who knows the truth - find the person who knows the truth based on the clues of the truth provider - stop the conspiracy after knowing the truth. The movie doesn't look tired at all. In the process of watching the film, you don't need to guess and guess, and you don't need to think about the conspiracy and traps behind it. The viewing experience is very relaxed. In addition, the action scenes of this film are much better than the first one. In the film, there are a lot less fake gun shooting, more close combat, and more large-scale action scenes, such as fights in cars, explosions of helicopters, and so on. Although these pictures can only be regarded as the upper-middle level of Hollywood, they are hundreds of times better than the previous ones. Based on the above two points alone, the series "Underworld" can be freed from the quagmire of bad films and become a basically qualified Hollywood commercial action film. Seeing this, I am very relieved. I am glad that I did not see two bad films in a row. I am very happy.
In other aspects of the film, there is no bright spot. The style of the video is still pitch-black, and it looks very depressing. Sometimes it's so dark that you can't tell who is who. I don't understand why Hollywood is always making such noir-style movies, don't you know that the audience seems to be struggling? The costumes, props, and scenery of the film are the same as the previous film, and the medieval style looks very depressing. The heroine's clothing is still the leather jacket and leather pants that highlight the figure, and Kate Beckinsale continues to show off her figure with this outfit. The special effects are still at the level of the previous work, and most of them are used in the transformation. What deserves praise is that the bat shape of the vampire ancestors is very novel, which has never appeared in other movies, the first of its kind!
As for the love in this film, with the foreshadowing of the previous work, it is not so abrupt, but that fragrant bed scene is still unnecessary. The utilitarian nature of this sex scene is too strong, and it is completely made for the audience to see. Just like the first one, a movie without love is not a good movie, and a movie without sex with love is not a good movie. In order to be a good movie, the writer and director came to such a paragraph, although it seems not so necessary.
Not to mention the actors, the dark pictures and the action-oriented plot, there is no room for actors to play. Worth seeing, only the figure of Kate Beckinsale.
Overall, it's a popcorn-style vampire movie concocted by Hollywood, a movie you've seen and forgotten about. You can watch it or not, you won't waste your time watching it, and you won't regret it if you don't watch it.
