EARLY ACCESS: Underworld Rise of the Lycans FULL REACTION (Patreon)

Underworld Rise of the Lycans takes us deep into the origins of the timeless war between vampires and Lycans (werewolves) in the dark, Gothic world created by Len Wiseman. Serving as a prequel to the original Underworld series, this film offers a fresh perspective on the age-old conflict, shedding light on the events that set the stage for the ongoing blood feud.

The film explores the forbidden love between the Lycan leader, Lucian (Michael Sheen), and the vampire aristocrat's daughter, Sonja (Rhona Mitra). The narrative kind of follows a predictable path of love, betrayal, and vengeance. The story lacks some of the complexity and intrigue seen in the earlier films, making it less compelling. However, it does provide valuable backstory for the characters and events that fans of the series will appreciate.

Michael Sheen delivers a standout performance as Lucian, showcasing his dedication to the role and adding depth to his character. Rhona Mitra as Sonja also gives a commendable performance, bringing the necessary emotional weight to her character. Bill Nighy, reprising his role as Viktor, delivers a menacing and memorable performance as the ruthless vampire elder. Other returning characters, such as Kraven (Shane Brolly), provide continuity with the previous films.

One of the film's strengths lies in its action sequences and dark, atmospheric visuals. The stylized battles between vampires and Lycans are well-choreographed, maintaining the series' signature blend of gunplay and hand-to-hand combat. The Gothic aesthetics of the Underworld world are still visually striking and effectively set the tone for the film. Looking forward to the next one in the Underworld series.
