Actors: Kate Beckinsale, Stephen Rea , India
Rating: 8 out of 10, it is great to get Beckinsale
back in her black lycra killing suit as the Vampire warrior Selene. This film picks up shortly after the last one
she appeared in and takes the story in a completely new direction – war with
humans. Selene wakes up after 12 years
in deep freeze following her capture.
She quickly learns she now has a very dangerous daughter and new
super-Lycans to deal with. While this
will never be an extremely deep film series, with any kind of socially
redeeming quality – it sure is fun to watch.
The special effects are top notch and Beckinsale demonstrates real
presence as she casually dispatches hordes of adversaries. The story is an inch deep but the pace keeps
you from noticing most of the time. Ealy
seems a little out of place as the helpful human but Rea is superb as the evil
head Lycan. The final battle is extremely
well choreographed and Eisley is truly scary when she changes into her hybrid
form. A fun movie to watch and it
sets itself up for another sequel which would be welcome.MVP: Beckinsale as the slinky but riveting Selene
