Review 4K Movie

I can't say that the mix "vampires + werewolves" is so successful, and the pseudo-legend about their confrontation is not sewn with white thread, but all this is not important, since the film was shot very stylishly and beautifully. From the very beginning, a powerful pace is set, accompanied by its cool sound, hairstyles and outfits a la Matrix look very thematically suitable, especially in the entourage of gloomy interiors, sire-black tones and constant night-time bad weather. Modern Gothic in the flesh against the backdrop of Czech lanes, i.e. Eastern Europe, the historical homeland of all evil spirits. However, I will not vouch for the Czech Republic, since it could have been both Romania and Hungary, and who Jozsef Laktosh is, I can only guess without opening additional. literature.

The storyline is not very important here, because "Underworld" is intended to show action, bullet shooting, chases and, of course, Kate Buckinsale, draped in latex, who after the premiere found a cloud of male fans. Who would have thought that a scary English girl with crooked teeth would be able to make such a pretty woman, albeit always gloomy and emotionally meager (we are talking, of course, about the character, since in the photo Kate now and then demonstrates beautiful even teeth in a smile). One of her first roles - Hero in "Much Ado About Nothing" by Kenneth Branna, and there she, believe me, is not at all like the current Buckinsale.

By the way, “Another World” in terms of appearance no less magically transformed another previously completely unattractive actor - Michael Sheen, who played the role of the werewolf leader Lucian, who was also Kate's then boyfriend. Here he is just hyper-sexy, and if you inadvertently return to "Mary Riley", where he plays a nosy butler with an irregular bite, then in life you will not believe that we are talking about the same person.

Lucian, among other things, is one of the most striking and memorable figures in the picture, while the "beloved" of the vampire Michael Corven (the film was presented as a story of their "forbidden passion" a la Romeo + Juliet) is so banal and gray that more resembles an appendage, an appendage, than a full-fledged personality. From beginning to end, they drag him by the collar, and he demands some kind of explanation: “Who are they? What's happening?". It's a bit of a mess, so stay close to your aunt, without whom someone will definitely eat you.

So, Underworld is stylistically and visually very good, a feast for the eyes, and if you haven't watched the sequel yet, my advice is: don't look. But, if you nevertheless decide, despite the not unfounded warning, in comparison the first part will seem even more exciting and spectacular.
