Pretty predictable despite nice acting from Beckinsale and a stylish art direction.

Selene (Kate Beckinsale), a vampire orphaned in the wake of a bloody Lycan attack, works for the vampire clan as a trained killer.

When the Lycans take a mysterious interest in Michael Corvin (Scott Speedman), an exceptional mortal doctor, Selene struggles to save him from Lucian (Michael Sheen), a ruthless Lycan leader hellbent on ending the vampire bloodline.

What could pass as an entertaining and visually dazzling cable watch ends up as a confusing romp of a fantasy adventure.

I think when shes used right, shes of immense value to any film shes a part of.

Take Love Friendship from earlier this year for example; she was given a solid script and the room to use her British wit charm in a rewarding performance.

Sure shes gorgeous to look at in Underworld, but I cant help but think that the writing didnt allow her to truly show her chops.

With that said, her ability is clearly superior to the awful supporting cast.

Some of the supporting performances (Shane Brolly) are disappointingly off-putting.

Much like a ton of early 2000s action films, Underworld suffers from trying to emulate The Matrix too much.

I cant necessarily blame Underworld for having bad action, it was simply a product of its time.

In fact, there are some good looking stunts here, most of them in camera as well.

When Underworld takes itself too seriously and the story is bogged down by exposition scenes (that actually make the film more confusing) its no fun.

The reason I went back and began the franchise this many years later is because I was hoping to have a fun franchise to go to the theaters for in a few weeks with Blood Wars being released.

But I know one thing for sure, Underworlds first film is painful to watch.

In comparison to the derivative and horridly one dimensional quote-unquote vampire films which have come out in the intervening period, Underworld still seems fresh and interesting after thirteen years of finalized existence; as a film its held up well, and the story is still interesting and grim enough to be taken seriously by the serious horror action enthusiasts.

Vampires and Lycans are both presented as a serious races who live and exist purely in nights and shadows.

There is no sparkling in the sun, there is no Vampire Slayers (although that was an interesting idea in the 90s and still holds up on its own), and there is no overtly campy love story, instead Michael and Selene are both presented right away as adults in a very mature world.

At the end of the day, its a film about vampires done well, although I cant say the same about every sequel of the franchise.
