The plot is so convoluted that missing even five minutes at a stretch won't make any difference in your comprehension of the story.

Consensus: A visual and aural assault on the senses, this vampire-werewolf sequel makes a lot of noise and features a heavy-handed, overly convoluted story.

Synopsis: Bloodthirsty vengeance is measured out in buckets, not spoonfuls for this hard-hitting vampire movie sequel. The story picks up right where the first UNDERWORLD left off, in the midst of a war... [More]

Reviews for Underworld: Evolution
1 - 15 (sorted by date)
Top CriticA monster chiller sequel that is visually spectacular but rather overburdened with story.
01/26/06
Top Critic... the series never expands on the promise of its one innovation.
01/25/06
Top CriticThere's no guiding power at work here; it's Evolution without a shred of intelligent design.
01/25/06
Top Critic... despite an admirable attempt to test the boundaries of the genre, the continuing saga about the war between the vampires and the werewolves is humorless, too confusing and not particularly fun to watch.
01/24/06
Top CriticUnderworld: Evolution is representative of the 'modern' vampire movie -- loud, violent, and raucous.
01/24/06
Top Critic... this Underworld sequel has only piled on the things that made its predecessor annoying: Heavy-handed backstory and aimless, affectless mayhem.
01/24/06
Top CriticAs far as gratuitous follow-ups go, it is neither evolution nor devolution. A more appropriate title is Underworld: Stagnation.
01/24/06
Top CriticWith leads who strain to manage one facial expression between them, and a cinematographer shooting everything through the same steel-blue filter, Underworld: Evolution is a monotonous barrage of computer-generated fur and fangs.
01/24/06
Top CriticDirector Len Wiseman, formerly of the music-video world, is still stuck on music-video logic: Throw in awesome-looking stuff, throw in more awesome-looking stuff, don't worry so much about connecting anything.
01/24/06
Top Critic... a movie that beats you over the head until you -- along with all the fanged and furry beasts of the future -- are senseless.
01/24/06
Top CriticThe script ... isn't particularly interesting ...
01/24/06
Top CriticPic should please a fan base that has grown during original's international theatrical and homevid roll-out.
01/20/06
Top Critic... there's little wit or genuine suspense to elevate the proceedings above the level of a cheesy comic book.
01/20/06
Top Critic... Underworld: Evolution registers visually but isn't alive enough to cast a reflection or shadow.
