There are many surprises, after all I don't watch trailers. First of all, when Selene appeared on the stage, I took a deep breath: why is she more beautiful than the first in 3 years! Maybe it's the makeup and lighting effects. Throughout the whole film, Selene's beauty is very different from the previous one. In 1, her pale face with tight brows, dry texture, and bright lips are very clear, but in 2, they are all weakened and prominent. White porcelain or milk-like delicate skin, people can't help, eager to touch and caress. So Michael did it... Those scenes seemed to be the opposite of the dark tone of the whole film, warm and charming, Selene was no longer a cold deathwalker, but a woman, a girl longing for love (off topic: in From this, I deeply saw the value of Michael, a somewhat useless male protagonist, who can fight, paste windows, repair cars, has good aesthetic vision, and is loyal to the female protagonist. come back to save the mistress).
The second is the male protagonist, who acts as the loyal bodyguard of the female protagonist. He uses an unusual way to cause trouble and promote the plot. It is more pleasing to the eye than the previous one. Klein's death is so heartwarming! Marcus, who drank horse blood and was paranoid about saving his brother, and Cornuvis, who didn't want to kill his son with his own hands, moved me because of their selfish, true humanity.
Like the previous one, this one has many surprising details, but there is still a certain distance from expectations. In my opinion, the biggest flaw in this film is that it doesn't show the theme. Was the word "evolution" just a random addition to the title? Whose evolution, how to evolve, the future of evolution, after a long time, it turned out to be unfinished content! The only thing that shows "evolution" should be that Selene is no longer damaged by the sun, but that's too much. It's also ridiculous that Marcus's statement to Cornuvis that "he's going to be God", coupled with his crazy obsession with William, can only be explained by mysterious monster thoughts and monster kinship. However, he "will fail"!
Finally, I want to complain about the director's settings for many character skills. I can't remember how many types of guns have appeared in the film, and the "chuchuchu" that will appear at any time is debilitating. Let's take it as a sci-fi element. Lucien was also killed by Klein with two shots. But why must the final battle end in hand-to-hand combat? Throwing away the guns everyone went back to pre-liberation overnight, but it was just that...effective.
