Underworld

[PJ Matthews]

Ive been watching this one for a couple of years now and finally its almost here. Its basically a British film with alot of American dollars in it, result? Hopefully a decent film.

The trailer is pretty stunning and for the first few seconds of the trailer (the teaser one, above is full trailer) I thought I was watching the next Matrix trailer :).

Make note of the Star of the film, where you seen her before?

They made a HL mod to coincide with the release, incase y' didn't know..

Assuming the 'star' of the film is the Vampire lady, she's Kate Beckinsale (http://www.geocities.com/katebeckinsale3/pictures/005.jpg).

Good - Helen Baxendale is a minger.

All looks a bit minty :D

[eXistenZ]

Looks sweet!! can't wait for this :D
Kinda x-men crossed with Blade!

This is indeed a gem.

Although all those proper british accents are a bit weird in an action film of this scale...

Sorry to correct you guys but it's Kate Beckinsale NOT Helen Baxenden.

Kate Beckinsale is a babe !

[davecrowley]

OOOOPS ! Sorry, just noticed that Splaty has corrected this above as well.

Im going to have to disagree there Adam, I always thought Helen was damn fine :)

[Big Bad Alex]

Go see this movie!:D

Good storyline, great FX, style and Kate all in rubber!
What more can you ask for?

Alex(IoW):cool:

I think you're the first person I've heard (or read) to say anything good about it. A lot of bad reviews have been gained by this movie. I will still go watch it on Tuesday though :)

PS. I merged your thread with PJ's already existing thread ;)

[Big Bad Alex]

Best thing I've seen in quite a while, only problem is their getting sued by both the "White Wolf" and "Vampire: The Masquerade" franchises!
So unless that gets sorted out there's only a slim chance of the next one getting made, supposed to be a prequel...
Oh well, still a great movie!

me and g/f went to see it last night, she really enjyoed it and so did i , i thought some parts did drag on for a few extra minutes but all in all its a good movie!
why they getting sued?

[Big Bad Alex]

Copyright/intelectual property, seems the story runs a bit to close to certain "Vampire: The Masquerade" stories/scenarios?
This may not be gospel, read it in another forum last night...

Saw this on Saturday night and thought it was quite a good film but the end fight scene let it down a bit.

[[GPO]Solitaire]

Argh! forgot to go and see it on satarday! D'oh!

Will have to go after work sometime this week now :/
been drooling over kate in that rubber all month :D

anyone see her on Jonathn Woss?

[danielctull]

Unfortunately, this film was a complete let down. The plot was excellent. But the way it was told was so badly done, it had no flow at all.

Wont spoil it for any persons going to watch it, I'll let ya make up your own minds. I will say the action was moderate but badly co-ordinated, at the start I had no idea of whom was chasing who. This yet another sign that they didn't build up the characters as well as they should have.

I will leave you with my first thought of this film: It was like Arnold Schwarzenegger reading Enid Blyton stories... :D

[PJ Matthews]

One of the problems picked out in most reviews was the story line which was over complicated and poorly told.

Have to say it was a good film to mong out to, but not that great. May be easier to drool over Kate when it comes out on DVD cos it was just too dark at the cinema ;)
