    That looks awesome. I thought that back story was touching and I am interested to see how it plays out. I love Bill Nighy. Glad he's still in the series.

    I love the first two movies, especially Evolution. I miss Kate already but will see and/or buy this one for sure.

    I do like Rhona Mitra from another favorite action flick, Shooter.

    Well I will say that it appears we are no worse for wear. She's pretty nice.

    WOW!! It looks awesome. I'm excited to see this one. I enjoyed the last 2. Not having Kate kinda sucks. But I can see this one being outstanding.

    Outstanding! Can't wait for this one!

    I can see why they didn't have Kate back. Her character is not in the story line at this point. Kate's not the only hottie in the world. I dig the girl playing Viktor's daughter!

    It's great to see all the original actors coming back.
    No excuses!

    It's a Shame that we know that Viktor is going to die, Did'nt they have 3 elder Vampires?, Couldn't they have used one of the other guys?

    Nope. Remember? He was instrumental in that story.

    From the time table, Kate's character is a long time away from even being born. Rhona is playing Viktor's daughter, Sonja, that he kills for getting pregnant and secretively marrying Lucius.

    NOBODY is hotter than Kate with the possible exception of Sarah Michelle Gellar in the first 3 seasons of Buffy.

    Hehe... figured it would stir the pot a bit. :D

    I'm trying to convince myself it won't be all that bad now common... just 'cause Kate IS Underworld, doesn't mean that this flick won't be great without her. Right? Of course right :)

    Sweet! :cool: Our local video store treated me again by letting me rent this early. It was pretty good IMO even though Kate wasn't in it. It works though, being this is a prequel as you probably know. Visually stunning, good effects and thundering sound. And oh yeah, Rhona Mitra (Viktor's daughter) is a hottie! She could give me a Vampire hickey anytime she wants. :o

    I got to sneak out Taken as well. Both of these are worthy of buying and definitely worth a rental. Get em' on Toozday.

    Woohoo! Finally a good Blu Ray Tuesday. Thanks.

    Just finished up the Blu-ray, good film, fantastic A/V. While I was completely entertained, it's by far the weakest in the trilogy.

    The story was good, but that's about all it had going for it. Acting, effects, action sequences, nothing as good as the other films.

    So how did ya's like the BR? I rented the SD DVD. In my opinion, I thought this was the best of the 3. Simply because it lays out the story line for the previous Underworlds.

    Agreed, the Movie was pretty-good!

    Not a bad title, I bought it on BD as blind buy. PQ was very good, I'd probably watch it again. I have the other 2 titles on HD so this adds to the collection.
