'Underworld: Evolution'
(Kate Beckinsale, Scott Speedman, Bill Nighy, Shane Brolly, Michael Sheen, et al / NR / 90 mins / Sony Pictures)
Overview: Vampire Selene (Beckinsale) and hybrid Lycan Michael (Speedman) must find the oldest immortal member of the vampire clan to explain the death of Viktor (Nighy) before the vampires and Lycans clash with each other.
Verdict: Oh dear! Oh dear, oh dear ... oh dear! 'Underworld: Evolution' is a nigh-endless series of numbing, mechanical battles in which snarling protagonists and CGI monsters shoot, claw, and bloodily eviscerate each other. In other words, it's 'Underworld', but more of it! It truly is just not that good, but it does have its moments, although they are far and few between. Silly, but undeniably entertaining, check this flick out when it's wet or snowy outside ... as there are worse places to be on a cold day!
