Kate Beckinsale is back as Selene in Underworld:Blood Wars. Director Anna Foerster helpfully recaps the Underworld franchise, useful as they are in main forgettable films apart from the vision of Beckinsale in skin tight black leather. Blood Wars also gives us a lovely vision of Lara Pulver's treacherous vampire Semira in a dress that is just about held up by tape on her breasts. The Lycans led by new leader Marius are slaughtering vampires are on the brink of victory. Marius pursues Selene as he needs her daughter's blood. Selene meanwhile has tried to make amends with the vampire elders with the help of David and his father but soon finds herself betrayed. The plot is rather silly and illogical, the action is at least fast and furious, the CGI is a little cheap looking.
