Last night Laura & I had a date night and went to go see the new Underworld III: Rise of the Lycans. We had alot of fun, and to my surprise it’s a really good movie.

The movie is a prequel, long before the events of Underworld 1 & 2. It details the rise of Lucian, leader of the Lycans (Werewolves), and the Death of Sonia, Victor’s beloved daughter. It sets up all the events of the first two movies, showing why Victor hates the Lycans so and why the Lycans will do anything to kill Victor.

My one complaint was that most of the movie is shot at night, which makes sense because it’s a Vampire picture. However, add in rain and lightning, and fast martial-arts style fight scenes and it’s impossible to see what’s going on.

But even with that, its’ a great movie. I give it a firm 4 of 5.
