Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans (Blu-ray) (Hong Kong Version) Blu-ray Region All

The third chapter in the Underworld series is the prequel to the original film, tracing what happened to some of the main characters in the vampires-vs-werewolves war depicted in Underworld (2003) and Underworld: Evolution (2006). Because of its backstory nature, series star Kate Beckinsale does not feature in this episode, although her scene from the first film is used to link up the series, and she provides this film's narration. Len Wiseman also backs down and hands the directorial reins to visual effects maven Patrick Tatopoulos, turning his attention to producing and writing instead.

Taking place centuries before the events in the first two horror actioners, Rise of the Lycans furthers the Underworld mythology and details how the monsters war came about. At the center of the feud is Sonya (Rhona Mitra), a vampire princess who is torn between her vampire ruler father Viktor (Bill Nighy) and werewolf lover Lucian (Michael Sheen). Werewolves are born slaves to the vampires, but the forbidden romance between Lucian and Sonya has sparked outright conflict between the two species, and Lucian is forced to lead the werewolves in the uprising against Viktor.

Director : Patrick Tatopoulos

More than a thousand years before the events of the original Underworld, two races of preternatural beings came into being, each springing from the bloodlines of a different son of the original Immortal, Alexander Corvinus. Vampires, arising from the Markus line, became elegant, aristocratic, cunning blood drinkers. Werewolves, from the William line, became savage beasts, with no trace of humanity left - and an insatiable appetite for violence. The Vampires came to dominate the local region - the wild lands in what is now western Hungary - with their superior intelligence, strength, and political skill. But even they feared the werewolves, who, though incapable of organization and higher thought, were capable of immense strength and savagery. And then another genetic fluke transformed the balance of power again: a female werewolf, captive in the Vampire stronghold, gave birth to a seemingly human child. This was Lucian (Michael Sheen) - the first Lycan, born into slavery in the house of Viktor (Bill Nighy), the supremely powerful Vampire leader. Unlike “William’s Kind”, the original werewolves, this Lycan was able to take the form of either man or beast at will. Lucian’s bloodline was used by Viktor to create an entirely new breed of slaves, abused by the Vampires as laborers and guards during the vulnerable daylight hours, and prevented from transforming by the silver-spiked moonshackles kept locked around their necks.Viktor reigns over his slaves, his court and his domains with an iron hand. He loves only two things: power, and his beautiful but willful daughter Sonja (Rhona Mitra). Their affair must be conducted in the utmost secret, since if discovered, it would mean certain death for both of them.
When Lucian reveals that he has found a way to remove his moonshackle and gain his freedom, Viktor resolves to destroy him like a disobedient animal. In a thrilling sequence, Lucian manages rally the other Lycans and escape from the Vampire dungeons and rescue Sonja. Incredible battle scenes, astonishing stunts and cutting-edge creature effects make Underworld: Rise of the Lycans an epic adventure that stands proudly on its own...
