I had serious doubts about this movie. I thought for sure that the movie was going to be horribly bad because it didn’t have Kate Beckinsale and it was being directed by a first-time director. But I was wrong, the movie is actually pretty good and for the most part holds its own when compared to the other two Underworld movies.Rhona Mitra does a great job with the lead role. She has proven herself to be a great actress even though in the past she has chosen to star in some pretty bad movies (Doomsday, Beowulf, Skinwalkers). Michael Sheen also did a great job playing Lucian, though I was not a fan of his outfits in the movie.
First time director Patrick Tatopoulos did a much better job than I expected. His background is in special effects and art direction. Usually when an art director steps behind the camera to direct, it all goes horribly wrong (like Janusz Kaminski doing Lost Souls or David Goyer doing The Unborn).
If you like Underworld, then you naturally have to see this prequel.
Rating: 8 out of 10
