http://urllio.com/r0xp5When the human son of a werewolf is born in a cell, the evil leader of the clan of vampires, Viktor, spares his life and names him Lucian. He then forces him to transform other humans into the new breed - Lycan, and raises him as a slave wearing a leash to control his ability. Along the years, Lucian becomes a brave warrior with a great leadership over the other Lycans. He protects the aristocratic vampires during the daylight against the vicious and infectious breed of werewolves that are unable to take human form ever again. However, Viktor's daughter, Sonja, and Lucian are lovers and they secretly meet each other every now and then. Lucian unleashes and transforms in a werewolf to save the life of Sonja in a battle against the werewolves. However, Viktor sentences him to be brutally whipped thirty times and then imprisons him in the dungeon. Sonja saves Lucian and he escapes with other prisoners to the woods. When Viktor discovers that Sonja is pregnant and in love with Lucian, he locks her up in her room to force Lucian to return to the castle to rescue her, in the beginning of the feud between the two bloodlines.
The prequel story traces the origins of the centuries-old blood feud between the aristocratic vampires and their onetime slaves, the Lycans. In the Dark Ages, a young Lycan named Lucian emerges as a powerful leader who rallies the werewolves to rise up against Viktor, the cruel vampire king who has enslaved them. Lucian is joined by his secret lover, Sonja, in his battle against the Vampire army and his struggle for Lycan freedom.
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans : In this prequel we get little of Romeo and Juliet and a dash of Spartacus. The vampires have bred themselves a race of Lycan slaves to guard them during the daylight hours, but when Lucian, the favored pet of Viktor the ruling vampire, falls in love with his daughter things go bad rather quickly. The CGI werewolves are leaps and bounds better than their previous incarnations in this series and the only CGI complaint I have is to the occasionally bad CGI blood spray. Rhona Mitra makes for a hot vampire, and Bill Nighy and Michael Sheen return to chew up some nice scenery. After watching the big battle one is forced to ask the question that pops up after watching any of the Underworlds movies, "How did the Lycans lose the war?" Seriously, the vampires in these films are as fragile as a 1978 Ford Pinto.
This is the movie that should have been done first off. The way it turned out, while watching, you know what is going to happen, having seen the story-line in the original UNDERWORLD. And that's a shame, because I can quite imagine how I would have freaked out normally at the sight of Sonja getting burnt to a crisp, the queen or the modern martyrs of female movie characters. As you can guess, I am a Rhona Mitri fan, especially because of PARTY OF FIVE, even if her character was grossly underdeveloped there, and NIP/TUCK to a lesser extent, because there her character regressed into a shambles. So, despite not really having seen her in anything worthy of her, I am a Rhona Mitra fan (and no, I haven't seen her in FHM magazines either) you know why? It's the age-old RavenGlamDVDCollector thing... that foxy face! She is just beautiful.<br/><br/>I normally avoid the kind of slasher movie where girls get killed for the heck of it left, right, front and center, and it was a total bummer to have the lead lady killed off about 80% through the movie, but this film is just marvelously done in a most astounding way, including the death scene. It is just absolutely breathtaking. It cements Sonja as an unforgettable character.<br/><br/>Actually, Sonja's more to my liking than that cold-as-ice deathly Selene. I'm not saying anything at all against Kate Beckinsale, no way, Selene is a scripted character and she is scripted that way to be played that way. But to those of you criticizing Rhona's Sonja as light- weight compared to Kate's Selene, I do not agree. I think everybody will concur that two superb stars were chosen for the two female leads.<br/><br/>(Apologies to you seriously-into-gore and CGI mayhem dudes, I'm just a Rhona Mitra fanboy!)<br/><br/>P.S. I should also mention that Michael Sheen and Ben Nighy outdid themselves. That is some compliment from a guy who is obsessed only with actresses. Take it as a feather in your caps, guys.<br/><br/>Whew, after the trilogy set, gee, had my fill of wolfy violence! And dark blue screens! :)
While it may not be "Citizen Canine," Rise of the Lycans tells its tale competently and without the derivative nature of its predecessors.
In ancient times, when werewolves were stuck in their werewolf forms 24/7 and were brutal enemies of vampires, a werewolf baby is born that has the ability to change between werewolf and human form. Naming him Lucian, vampire elder Viktor (<a href="/name/nm0631490/">Bill Nighy</a>) raises the young Lycan in captivity, forcing him to feed on humans and create more of his kind to be used as slaves to the vampires. When Lucian (<a href="/name/nm0790688/">Michael Sheen</a>) and Viktor's vampire daughter Sonja (<a href="/name/nm0593961/">Rhona Mitra</a>) grow up and fall in love, they plot to release Lucian from his enslavement and run away together. However, nothing (and no one) can escape from Viktor's cruelty. Rise of the Lycans is the third movie in the Underworld series, preceded by <a href="/title/tt0320691/">Underworld (2003)</a> (2003) and <a href="/title/tt0401855/">Underworld: Evolution (2006)</a> (2006), and followed by <a href="/title/tt1496025/">Underworld Awakening (2012)</a> (2012) and <a href="/title/tt3717252/">Underworld: Blood Wars (2016)</a> (2016). Underworld and Underworld: Evolution were based on original screenplays by American screenwriters Kevin Grevioux, Danny McBride, and Len Wiseman. They were subsequently novelized as Underworld (2003) and Underworld: Evolution (2006) by American science fiction writer Greg Cox. Cox also wrote a third novel, Blood Enemy (2004), which describes the Great Battle between Vampires and Lycans that took place over 1,000 years ago, but this is not the source for Rise of the Lycans. Danny McBride and Len Wiseman developed the screenplay for Rise of the Lycans. Cox has subsequently novelized Rise of the Lycans, which was released in December 2008. Although it is the third movie in the Underworld franchise, Rise of the Lycans is a prequel to the first two, so it can be watched in either order. It provides the details of the story behind Lucian's comments in the first movie where he tells how Viktor had "his own daughter burnt alive just for loving me." Back in the 5th century AD, a Hungarian warlord named Alexander Corvinus survived a plague epidemic that decimated his village. Corvinus had a rare blood abnormality that morphed the plague virus in his bloodstream, giving him superhuman strength and immortality. Approximately 200 years later, he fathered three sons. All three sons carried the same genetic defect as well as the virus of their father. One son inherited the virus in its dormant state and remained human. He died a mortal death, passing down the hidden gene. The other two—William and Marcus—were bitten by wolf and by bat, respectively, becoming the first werewolf and the first vampire. More about their fates and progeny are presented in Underworld. No mention is made of Lucian's father in the movie. His mother is shown as a werewolf, so there are two possibilities: (1) Lucian's father was another werewolf, and Lucian is simply a mutant, or (2) Lucian's mother was human but got bitten and turned into a werewolf while she was still pregnant, making Lucian half-human and half-wolf (Lycan). Most viewers favor the second possibility. By the fact that Sonja is wearing the pendant around her neck in this movie, Selene (<a href="/name/nm0000295/">Kate Beckinsale</a>) must be alive at this time, although she has not yet been adopted by Viktor and entered into the storyline. However, it is her voice heard narrating the prologue, and she appears at the very end of the movie in scenes from the beginning of the first Underworld movie. The pendant holds one of the keys to William's prison (the other is inside Viktor), a prison that was constructed by Selene's father when she was a young girl. This key comes into play more fully in Underworld: Evolution. Because they're in hibernation. Back in the first movie, it was explained that, 1,400 years ago, Vampires had decided that the best way to ensure the survival of their species was for the three Elders—Viktor, Marcus, and Amelia—to "leap frog" through time, one ruling while the other two slept, each being awakened at their appointed time according to a never-to-be-broken covenant. In Rise of the Lycans, it is Viktor who is awake. The collars were made of silver. Lycans can't turn when silver is in or on their body. For example, Lucian was watching Sonja's death but he couldn't turn until he removed silver arrows from his back. The collars also have three silver spikes pointed directly at their throat. If the Lycans are to turn while wearing collars, their body mass, including their neck, grows bigger, which would plunge the silver spikes into their neck. When a vampire drinks the blood of another vampire, s/he gains their memories. Viktor wanted to know whether Sonja was lying to him about helping Lucian escape, and the only way he could be sure she wasn't lying was to tap into her memories. This tactic is used again in Evolution when Marcus tries to drink Selene's blood and when Alexander Corvinus makes Selene drink his. Lucian awakens, still chained to the floor in the chamber where Sonja was put to death. Viktor enters and pulls the medallion from around her neck. Outside, the full moon is rising, giving Lucian enough strength to eject the silver-tipped arrows from his back and transform into a werewolf. He breaks his chains, grabs the medallion after Victor drops it, and leaps through a window, but Viktor's guards are able to quickly subdue him with more silver-tipped arrows. Before he can turn back into a human, Lucian lets out a tremendous howl that is heard by Raze (<a href="/name/nm0340485/">Kevin Grevioux</a>) and the other Lycans camped in the forest. Together, they descend on the fortress, easily overtaking the guards and going after the vampires. Raze finds Lucian, removes the arrows from his body, and then releases the Lycans still being held in the dungeon. Viktor orders Tannis (<a href="/name/nm0533599/">Steven Mackintosh</a>) to attend to the elders while he stays to battle Lycans. Lucian spots Viktor and goes after him, chasing him down into a pit where Viktor becomes tangles in chains. "I should have crushed you under my heel the day you were born," Viktor hisses. "Yes, you should have...", Lucian agrees and rams his sword right through Viktor's mouth, "...but you didn't." Viktor falls in the water at the bottom of the pit and floats lifelessly. Lucian goes out into the courtyard where the Lycans have risen victoriously against the vampires. "It is finished," Raze says. "No, this is just beginning," Lucian replies, his hand tightly clutching the medallion. In the final scene, a boat can be seen sailing out to sea. In the hold, Tanis tucks Viktor into his hibernation box. The movie ends with a scene from the first movie where Kraven (<a href="/name/nm0111274/">Shane Brolly</a>) tells Selene how it was Viktor who killed her parents but spared her because she reminded him of Sonja. a5c7b9f00b
