 Great movieApr 09, 2010
I am sure the movie description written for the product is better than anything I could ever write, so I will just leave it as this is a good movie that I got a great deal on the Blu-Ray.
 Very Enjoyable Movie - RecommendedMar 12, 2010
"Underworld" is one of those movies that I can watch just about any time. While some horror purists may take exception to the folklore surrounding the vampires and werewolves portrayed in the move, I think the minor changes are logical and work well, with the exception that the vampires are a lot weaker than they should be.
No plot spoilers from me; the movie centers on the centuries long struggle between vampires and werewolves. On the surface, the vampires appear to have the upper hand with squads of "Death Dealers" (including Kate Beckinsale) hunting down the werewolves. The twist comes when the werewolves appear to become interested in human target, for purposes other than eating him.
The movie has a great dark atmosphere that gives a gothic feel even though it is set in the current time (except for the flashbacks). The cinematography is very good and the special effects are generally well done and certainly not over used. The acting is fairly good and Kate Beckinsale is clearly the star of this movie.
A very enjoyable movie! Recommended!

Must have!Mar 08, 2010
Kate's performance is incredible. Good story and great special effects. Wish it lasted 10 hours.

The Underworld film series explores new heights with the vampire film genre, by adding dazzling visual effects and action, done in the style of The Matrix films.

"I am a death dealer..." Blu-ray review.Jan 28, 2010
Vampires? Check! Werewolves? Check! Awesome Movie? Check! UNDERWORLD is original and entertaining. The movie revolves around vampire Selene, a death dealer. She basically seeks out and hunts werewolves. While on the hunt she uncovers a powerful plot that will destroy the vampire elders and shift the balance of power. The movie isn't a dumb blood and gore horror flick. It's intelligent with a strong plot and some new twists. Finally a vampire/werewolf flick that delivers. Oh, Kate Beckinsale in leather? CHECK!
NOW FOR MY BLU-RAY THOUGHTS: A beautiful transfer. Looks and sounds great. Blu-ray really shines with a movie like this that is filmed with dark lighting schemes. All special features are transferred from the DVD. FINAL VERDICT: UPGRADE WORTHY.
