Underworld: Evolution

Yesterday we decided to go to the theather to watch “Underworld: Evolution”
The movie was strange, but perfectly aligned with the first of the series: Underworld.
In the timeless war between Vampires and Werewolves, Underworld Evolution is a good piece of fight club for these supernatural creatures.

As a good role player I am, I have to tell you that the vampiristic rules of these two movies are quite different from those told in “Vampire: The Masquerade” Role Playing Game (RPG) or from the common sense I hvae grown upon vampires. A lot of guns, bombs and spectacular firearms are the “daily bread” in this movie, with a lot of blood (ok, this is correct). The plot is strictly liked to the first movie, so you have to look to the first to understand well this one, but it’s quite good. Of course you should not expect some deep plot, because this is a very fast movie, based on a lot of fights and blood, with a decent main plot.

The first Underworld was quite good and I liked it, and so I do for this one. Fabiana and I were discussing a lot after the end of the movie for some RPG-linked questions:
“Why didn’t she died there?”
“So was that blood strengthening her?”
“NO! He shouldn’t have been able to do that because it wouldn’t have worked in the rule of the World Of Darkness!” (Rpg Rules)

But in the end was a good movie to be seen, expecially for us that love that specific settings.

The actors were good too, from a ageless Kate Beckinsale (perfect for the role of a vampire) with glowing blue eyes in the moments of vampirism, to a sharp Scott Speedman, incredible in the role of a dispersed character, still unconscious of its own beings.

Of course, do not expect a colossal (IMHO), but some good hours of nice movie and days of discussions…
…if you are a role player, of course!
