Tonight I went to see Underworld: Evolution with JoeBuck and Travis. While not a culture changing movie or anything, it's good for what it is (a very bloody action movie). If that's not your type of movie, probably want to stop reading now. My favorite part was definitely the all-in-one particle bombs. Push a button, and after a delay it starts spraying in all directions, and then sparks it. Way to use simple high explosive physics to great effect. Lots of interesting and rarely (if ever) used ways of killing people, and unlike a lot of movies they don't creatively cut it either. Like ripping the top of skulls off, jamming spikes through the chin and exiting the top of the head, and throwing into the center of spinning helicopter blades. Of course the standard vampire movie stuff of emptying clips into people with blood flying everywhere, sucking blood, and impaling are there too. They did a great job with the effects, although it seemed like the telling the story part was sorta a second thought. The sex scene definitely didn't fit and was just odd being in there. I'll definitely be getting the DVD and watching both movies together, probably with a movie night involved.
Yea, the guy with the kids was a little off. Based on the kids' reactions it wasn't an unusual experience either. Hopefully they are the type that understands well that movies are not reality.
As for the blood memories thing, I seem to remember that from the first one. Variations from unexplained to the use of RNA show up in a lot of other shows too.
As for Marcus, it was the Lycan's blood that drained into the capsule where he was that revived him, thus the hybrid thing.
Ahhh, the marcus thing makes sense because he was an actual descendant of corvinus(thus why he didn't die), the same reason the lycans had to find michel in the first underworld. Thanks for explaining that one mooney.

I'm still disbturbed at that Guy that had 3 kids which I would guess ranged from 8 to 14 with him.
I found the idea of pulling someones memory's out by drinking their blood interesting. They didn't seem to set that up at all, like we were just supposed to assume that it was "normal" for that vampire to do that but even without a backstory it was a neat addon.
Also, I feel like the made reference to Marcus being a hybrid but they didn't really get into that at all, like how he became a hybrid and/or why he was different from Michel, who was also a hybrid. I have to admit though, him having wings was pretty cool.
