My husband and I had one of our free date nights the other night, which simply means we got a free movie from the library to watch together. We have followed the Underworld saga since its inception, and though I really haven’t been that impressed—it’s really not that great of a series—the vampire and werewolf thing keeps me coming. What can I say, I’m a glutton for punishment—and supernatural beasties.
This installment in the series takes place after humans find out what lichens and vampires are and take to the streets eliminating them systematically—an underworld genocide. I would never approve of any type of ethnic cleansing, but in this case, you can’t blame them; wouldn’t you kill beasts who look at you as food, after all? (Spoilers ahead.)
Selene is captured, frozen, and used as an experiment. It turns out that Michael was killed—and she was used with Michael to create a baby for experiments as well. This baby—now twelve, with that many years passing in the film from Selene’s capture and freezing—breaks free and saves Selene, launching the rest of the film in which they are on the run from the research facility, which turns out to be filled with lichen hunting them and seeking an immunity to silver.
