Great Werewolf & Vampire Film

With her only allies, David (Theo James) and his father Thomas (Charles Dance), she must stop the eternal war between Lycans and Vampires, even if it means she has to make the ultimate sacrifice.Directed By Anna FoersterScreenplay By Cory Goodman, Story By Kyle Ward and Cory Goodman, Based on characters created by Kevin Grevioux, Len Wiseman and Danny McBrideStarring: Kate Beckinsale, Theo James, Bradley James, Tobias Menzies, Lara Pulver, Peter Andersson, James Faulkner, Daisy Head, Clementine Nicholson, Oliver Stark and Charles DancThe fifth instalment "Underworld: Blood Wars" finds Death Dealer and vampire hunter Selene (Beckinsale) on the run from both the vampire and Lycan factions.The Lycans led by Marius (Tobias Menzies) want to capture Selene and force her to tell them the location of her daughter, Eve whose blood is the resource to build an army of vampire-werewolf hybrids.

Visually stimulating, action packed with a strong cast
I watched the original Underworld film many years ago but was intrigued as Selene played by Kate Beckinsale seemed somewhat aloof and mysterious, as if a lot has happened to her in the subsequent movies. It is possible to watch and enjoy this movie as a stand alone movie as they give you a precise at the beginning of the film. I have not seen the previous Underworld films but was intrigued by the cast including Charles Dance, Lara Pulver, Bradley James, Daisy Head and Tobias Menzies and how their characters performed. The visuals were very imaginative, excellent costumes, effects and makeup which assist the actors. I liked that there was not just the conflict between vampires and lycans. There was infighting within the vampires and the lycans while at the same time emotional connections between lycans and vampires, also hybrids and you can sympathise why Selene keeps to herself. Tobias Menzies was brilliant and well cast as Marius the new lycan leader who has his own agenda and would like to have seen more of him and his character's back story and interaction with the other characters.

For the completists
Want to know how the vamipires and lycans managed to survive and thrive following the purges by humans in Underworld: Awakening? Keep wondering because you won't find any answers here. In fact, the events of Awakening are almost completely ignored. That's not necessarily a bad thing to anyone who had to suffer through the last film.Kate Beckinsale is a delight to watch, as always in this franchise. And, it's good that there is closure for the fans. We know where Michael and Eve are by the end. And, we have a good idea of what the future holds for Selene. Given the downward quality trend it's probably understandable why Kate Beckinsale is refusing to pull the rubber trousers back on. If you're pretty new to the series, don't bother with this one. Just watch the first three and you'll get everything you need to know. If you are a mega Underworld fan, then watch this one for completion. Then forget it, if you can.I hope ScreenGem can allow this franchise to rest for a decade, or so. Then bring it back as a TV show, perhaps further into the future to see how the Selene character is getting on - even if she's recast.

Saga fan? Then a must watch
Great update to the franchise. Out of the all the films including the prequel this is by far my most favourite on the contrary. Has the modern cinematic quality with exciting action scenes that deliver a sufficient emotional narrative. Liked that it focused solely on Selene and her redemption. Just be sure to take off the critic's fedora before you watch and take the film at face value. Sophistication is minimal as a precaution but the film delivers on what is set to do: kick Lycan arse Kate Beckinsale style. Did I mention she gets a new coat that is not black?

I'm an Underworld fan
This is worth watching. I like how they end this movie. I definitely am expecting more, and I hope this isn't the last of the Underworld movies.

perfecto
! Buen precio !, que buen negocio.. ! Fin del comunicado ! ✌️si les gana la curiosidad pague 260 el precio mas bajo desde que esta publicado blood wars en amazon 👌 No paguen mas por que es un pesimo 4k, no arreglaron la terrible oscuridad de la pelicula, la pelea de selene y marius en el hielo se ve igual de horrible que el blu ray normal, es una pelea donde no se ve NADA, la compre por coleccionismo......
