Underworld: Rise of the Lycans Review
Some questions from the first movie were answered in this movie, but as far as rounding out a trilogy, the movie didn’t do much. Underworld follows Sonja, the daughter to Viktor in the first movie. Sonja is found to have an affair with the Lucian and thus started the war between the Lycans and the vampires. As far as story arc is concerned the movie wasn’t done that badly. Inconsistencies (despite the scientific aspect) were kept to a minimum and the development of the Lycans revolt was done quite well and better than expected. With this prequel, it is likely the Underworld franchise has come to its end. Tying in the missing questions that were unanswered from the first movie has essentially rounded out the movie franchise. From a literary standpoint, there isn’t much. A movie of this caliber is complete with action and depends highly on intense action sequences to make its mark. With that, it does well. There’s no use in attempting to analyze the film on a deeper level. On a scale from 1-10, I give it an 8 based heavily on its development of the war between the two races.
