あらすじ

ブラックレザーのロングコートに身を包み、夜の街を見下ろす一人の美女。ビルの屋上からコートをはためかせ、静かに地上に着地した彼女の正体は、ヴァンパイアの女戦士セリーン。彼女は長年戦い続けてきた宿敵、ライカンが、マイケルという若い人間の医師を執拗に追いかけていることに気付き不審に思う。セリーンは一族の現リーダー、クレイヴンにライカンの不穏な動きを報告したが、彼はたいした問題ではないと片付ける。しかし彼女は、ライカンが良からぬ陰謀を画策していると直感し、マイケルを追いかけるのだった。同時に彼女は、いつしか自分がマイケル自身に興味を抱いていると感じ、戸惑いを覚えていた……。...

作品考察・見どころ

本作の真髄は、吸血鬼と狼男の対立を冷徹な青の色彩美と重厚なゴシック・アクションへ昇華させた独創的な様式美にあります。ラテックスを纏ったセリーンが放つ圧倒的カリスマ性と、銃火器が唸る革新的な戦闘は、数世紀にわたる憎しみの連鎖を鮮烈に視覚化し、観る者を一瞬でその深淵へと引きずり込みます。種族の純血主義や権力の腐敗を抉り出すテーマが、本作を単なるアクションを超えた壮大な叙事詩へと引き上げています。ビル・ナイらの名演が歴史の重みを体現し、禁忌を越えた進化を肯定するメッセージを放ちます。伝統を打破し真実を求める熱き闘志は、公開から時を経てもなお色褪せない輝きを放っています。

Movies like _Underworld_ just don't end up with the calibre of actor that _Underworld_ has under normal circumstances. Somehow, _Underworld_ did though, and yes, it's very much a product of that early '00s industrial inspired age, but it is a solid, solid take on some realistic(ish) aspects of supernatural monster mythos. _Final rating:★★★★ - Very strong appeal. A personal favourite._

**Overall : Action, horror, monsters, guns, striking practical effects, spectacular creature designs, and a surprisingly proven and fantastic cast led by Kate Beckinsale all get mashed together to create one of the best creature features there is!** Underworld brings a new twist to the vampire and werewolf genre by pitting them against each other as they vie for control of the criminal underworld ruled by nightmarish creatures. It's hard to believe the budget for this film is relatively small because it doesn't feel limited in any way. The action and fight sequences are superb, with Kate Beckinsale proving herself an unstoppable action heroine for the first time with her prior career consisting of primarily romcoms. The creature design, special effects, sets, cinematography, and even the rest of the cast are all top-notch. Len Wiseman found a way to take a small budget and produce a big-budget genre-blending masterstroke that any action or horror fan is sure to love.

True, this isn't the most original of concepts and we have oft seen similar styles of treatment of these ancient rivalries, but Kate Beckinsale's lithe and deadly "Selene" and Michael Sheen's menacing "Lucian" are engaging enough in this tale of vampires v werewolves. Scott Speedman provides the eye candy (but very little else) as the hapless human "Michael" whom she rescues only to discover that he might prove a lot more important than either of them realise, and Bill Nighy is superbly over the top as the recently raised from his slumbers "Viktor" who really did fancy a (very) long lie in. Clad in leather and scurrying from place to place amidst the darkened environments the breadth of the city, the two must avoid capture and find a way to thwart ambitions that will re-enliven the timeless conflict between the two warring species. The combat scenes are heavily choreographed and do repeat themselves quite often and least said about Shane Brolly's weakly portrayed "Kraven" the better, but I did enjoy this.

I really enjoyed this movie and the whole series! This just goes to show that story is still more important than special effects. Also that CGI isn't always the best way to go. Real sometimes still looks better. Great characters, story and action made this a winner for me.
