Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRhona Mitra auditioned for the role of Selene in Underworld (2003) but lost it to Kate Beckinsale. For this film, when Mitra was thought of as an option, concerns were brought up that there was too much of a physical resemblance between the actresses. Those concerns were quickly dropped when it was mentioned that the very reason Viktor turned Selene into a vampire was due to her resemblance to Sonja. Therefore, the resemblance was not only justified but vital.
- Goofs(at around 18 mins) When Sonja is riding out to greet the human nobles and receives her "sharpened" sword from Lucian, you can see she doesn't know how to properly wear/carry the sword while on horseback and the sword actually falls out of its scabbard. There is a quick cell-change as this happens and the sword magically puts itself back in the scabbard and rights itself.

Featured review
A medieval tale of the genesis of the Lycans, and how Lucien was born, into the middle of a frying pan, before jumping into fire, making his life rather dire, setting free his fellow brethren and undoing what had been done.
Alas, without Selene, it is an empty can of beans, just an ordinary kind of tale, blows quite limp with a wet sail.
It's only downhill from now on, as the franchise ruptures, the bloods gone, not quite knowing when to stop, perpetually draining a good plot, leaving a husk, a shallow spectre of what was.
Be nice to know what the point of it all is too, aside from megalomania.
