However, she mentions that because of her psychic connection to Selene, she felt certain her caretakers were lying about her being an orphan.

Her caretakers told her that her parents had died when she was born, preventing her from learning anything about her origins or nature. Antigen, the biotech corporation that took custody of Selene and Michael, 'raised' Eve as 'Subject 2' in captivity for the first 11-12 years of her life. If somehow you like vampire and werewolf movies and urban fantasy in general and havenР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›t seen any of these movies, you donР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›t need to have seen the rest to enjoy this one Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™ but if you like this one, the others are worth tracking down.Eve was born and raised in captivity, her parents having been captured by the Infected Persons Unit before they could ever learn of Selene's pregnancy for themselves. If you dislike any of the primary elements of the franchise, stay away. You almost certainly already know whether you want to see Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўUnderworld: Blood Wars.Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ If youР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›ve seen and enjoyed the earlier films, you will not be disappointed. On the other hand, the most naturally-powerful characters in Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўBlood WarsР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ are all women Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™ the men who have special abilities either owe them to substances or inherited them from their mother. The best vampire movies have a bit of camp to them, but this film takes itself far too seriously to add any of that. Everyone is grim and intense about vampire politics and bloodlines, werewolves are serious business even when their CGI manifestations are terrible, and so on. The chief flaw in Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўBlood WarsР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ is the same thing that dogs the rest of the series: nobody seems to be having any fun.

The Nordic coven have some interesting spiritual practices, and bring a whole new element to the series by introducing the Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўsacred world.Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ Not that this element is in any way explained Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™ presumably weР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›ll learn more in the next film. The vampires continue to be monochromatic Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™ the one remaining large coven does everything in black, from clothes to dР В РІР‚СљР вЂ™Р’В©cor, and a new, Nordic coven that was supposedly a myth is all in white. There are some crafty bits of strategy and use-of-setting, and (like all the other films), itР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s a visual feast. Beckinsale and the rest of the cast and stunt crew do a great job of balancing up-close-and-visceral shots with wider ones that let you enjoy the choreography. The fight scenes are awesome, and we get a couple spectacularly gory and anatomy-revealing final kills (including one straight out of Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўMortal KombatР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™). The war isnР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›t done with her, however, and political intrigue and violence drag her back into the conflict. The previous films have left her bereft of everyone she cares about, and she has no interest in the ongoing war between vampires and lycans (werewolves). What matters to most of us, though, is whether itР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s awesome or not Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™ and rest assured, it is exactly as awesome as the rest of the series.Р В РІР‚СњР вЂ™Р’В®lite vampire warrior Selene (Kate Beckinsale) is back in her immaculate black latex and flowing coat, but rather than pursuing vengeance, she just wants to be left alone. This is not a subtle series, but Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўBlood WarsР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ tries its best to have a complex and interesting story. If you havenР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›t seen the others, donР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›t worry Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™ what little information you need to enjoy the film is recapped in an opening narration and occasional flashbacks. Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўUnderworld: Blood WarsР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ is the fifth installment in this fan-beloved and critic-despised franchise. Rated: R for strong bloody violence, and some sexuality Starring: Kate Beckinsale, Theo James, Tobias Menzies, Lara Pulver, Charles Dance, James Faulkner
