In the beginning there is the most vivid werewolf attack scene in any werewolf movie that I have ever seen. The introduction & narration by Selene (Kate Beckinsale) connects the new Underworld: Evolution movie elegantly with the previous Underworld movie. It provides a strong foundation for whatever goes on in the new movie sequel. New viewers would want to know more about the first movie too. The intricate details of props make it all so believable which is what attracted me to Underworld movies in the first place. Also Victor's (Bill Nighy) way of talking is humorous in the Underworld: Evolution movie.

Markus (Tony Curran) arises from his slumber. How confusing it would feel to wake up after a thousand years & see the amount of information available with the use of computers. Luckily, vampires like Marcus have the ability to absorb insane amounts of information; with his blood, in order to adapt quickly to new technologies. He searches for something in the Underworld: Evolution movie. After thousands of years, Markus is still obsessed about his brother William. "I would no sooner harm you than myself" said Markus to William.

Markus is a super strong as a vampire bat. Super strength is echoed throughout the entire Underworld: Evolution movie; vampire vs truck, Micheal (Scott Speedman) pushes a man on top of bar & crushes liquor bottles then carries a full grown military man with one hand, & etc. Masters of blood, Markus can gain information from his victims by drinking their blood. At least we know somebody who is used to & probably can withstand the famous guilt factoring GhostRider stare. Lol.

Selene (Kate Beckinsale) is sensitive to daylight. Her guns are irritating especially to Markus as the rapid fire only stalls his advance rather than killing him.In the escape from Markus, she & Micheal find some intimate moments for sexual intercourse. Well, now fans finally have the chance to see her strip off the sexy tight fitting leather body suit. One can watch it a year ago, now or five years from now & the Underworld: Evolution movie would still be good! Micheal & Selene seem like the ultimate vampire & hybrid werewolf team as each of them manage to beat Marcus & William respectively. Plenty of brain-splitting fight scenes.

The special effects are just as good & probably better then the first Underworld movie. There seems to be no degradation of movie making quality in Underworld: Evolution movie either, it is not surprising as both movies are directed by the same person, Len Wiseman. Additionally, writing, screenplay & characters are still done by the same team that made the first Underworld movie. I hope Micheal (Scott Speedman) evolves into a more ravishing looking creature in future sequels because a skimpy looking hybrid does not justify the super strength he possesses. Obviously, in the Underworld: Evolution movie, Selene takes center stage as she evolves into a superior vampire.

Selena drinks Alexander's (the first vampire) blood to become "the future", a more powerful & perhaps the most powerful vampire of all. It is possible that she has a baby in her womb & future sequels may capitalize on it. The blast set off by Marcus was so strong that it moved a corpse on the ship's deck which is a good extra detail. The Underworld: Evolution movie reveals the story of the making of Victor by Marcus, her past, her family in relation to the first vampire & werewolf. Also, it is the beginning of her future as an evolved vampire species. Selena now is a day walker like Micheal but not a Werewolf hybrid so minus the hairy back!
