Underworld Evolution
Sunday, January 22, 2006 at 8:08PM
Yesterday we decided that we would head to the pictures. We have not been for a while as we got kind of pissed with sitting though 30 minutes or more of adverts and trailers when we went to go and see anything. Anyhow we were both kind of excited by the fact that Underworld Evolution was coming out. We had seen the trailers and it looked pretty good all things considered. I had really enjoyed the first one, even though a lot of people did not. I guess that there was something a bit odd about the very proper speaking vampire played by Kate Benkinsale, but still I thought it was an enjoyable flick. You really cannot beat films about vampires and werewolves in my mind. The original film had shunned the usual hammey action in favour of a more matrix like experience and it worked for me.
Anyhow with high expectations and some nervousness we went off to see the sequel (rarely have I seem a sequel that was as good as the original). it turned out that my nerves were misplaced. It really was a top movie - lots of action and thrills. I grant you there was not so much of a storey in this one as the original but what was there did make some sense. There was a greater focus on the set pieces of action and they were strung together really well. There were some top effects and all in all it was a good mindless piece of film. The only part that was a bit disapointing for me was the very end. It was pretty obvious but did not detract too much from the whole experience. It is well worth a look if you are looking to switch off for a couple of hours
Other Trailers
Feeling somewhat inspired I came in and had a look at some of the trailers that are online at the minute and , you know, there are some good ones out there. I particularly liked the one for the new Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Mans Chest film. the trailer makes it look just as good as the original (which is just a top film). I also liked the new X-Men movie Beast looks cool and it looks like it will be a pretty cool film. There were some other cool ones as well, but currently they escape me. Have a look online though and check them out.
