Another film I wouldn’t have watched were it not for its appearance on Hulu, Underworld: Evolution is the sequel to Underworld, picking up almost immediately from where that movie left off. We know this because there’s a long scene-setting introduction at the beginning that recaps what has previously transpired and re-establishes the characters in the film.

All that is more or less unnecessary, though, since Evolution wastes little time on anything but the most shallow of character development efforts. There are lots of sub-par special effects and there’s no denying the attractiveness of Kate Beckensale in her tight leather outfit, but that’s about all you should expect from the story.
