Underworld Evolution: Insult to Injury
For some reason, I’d gotten it into my head that yesterday was Superbowl Sunday. A friend of mine was visiting from out of town, and as neither of us had any interest in the game, we decided to go see Underworld Evolution and leave Ed to enjoy the game on his own.
Well, as many of you have already told your monitors, the game is actually next week…which is what Ed told me when we got home and he was watching Angel on DVD rather than football. “You mean we saw that suck-$%& movie for nothing!?” I exclaimed.
The movie has no character development, no plot, and no point, except possibly the brief sex scene. They took a fairly good concept and turned it into a soap opera that gave me Van Helsing flashbacks. The visuals are on the same level as the first film, but I was too bored (at first) and pained (later) to appreciate it. Even the “evolution” is nothing new.
See something else. I’m open to ideas myself, as I’ll need to find something else to see next Sunday.

Went to see Evolution last weekend, and I wholeheartedly agree with your opinion. It’s like they had two or three questions from the first movie that they wanted to wrap up, and then forgot to write the plot to fill in the rest of the movie. Even the combat scenes weren’t enough to keep my attention - I found myself dosing off, even though it wasn’t that late of a showing. Yuch!
This weekend we went to see Nanny McPhee - cute movie. Nothing outstanding, but a decent, cute children’s film, and with about 100 times the plot of Evolution. Better than superbowl!
Or see Tristan and Isodole - I haven’t seen it yet, but want to.
