They are purely meant for satisfying the lovers of dark fantasy who want to see vampire and werewolves duke it out. These types of movies are not made for pushing the envelope. Of course, logic or a reasonably entertaining narrative in something like Underworld: Blood Wars is probably the last thought in the minds of the filmmakers. Given all the melodrama, backstabbing and underhanded dealings throughout, I'm surprised the villains didn't pass each other notes to learn they want the same thing. But the ruthlessly power-hungry Semira (Lara Pulver) wants to drive a stake in between them by pretending to hire the pair to train an army of bloodsuckers against a large pack of shaggy, grubby dogs, led by Game of Thrones star Tobias Menzies. Thankfully, Selene and David's budding relationship stays in the friend zone where it belongs. No, wait! Isn't that same plot of every Underworldmovie, including the second sequel prequel where a Beckinsale lookalike is also hunted for her Romeo & Juliet romance with the family pet? So, we're basically watching the same recycled plot reshaped into another battle where crystal-blue eyes stand in between two warring clans. Our beautiful undead Selene is being pursued by both vamps and howlers this time around. One such lucky bloodsucker is the ominously-named David (Theo James), setting up the crux of the movie's central plot and the not-so-subtle meaning behind the title.

But all that is neither here nor there because the only thing needed for resuscitating the series and keeping it from dying is Selene's magical blood, which now grants the lucky drinkers the ability to enjoy the warmth of sunrise.
After the first sequel, the actor decided to finally lay the character to rest six feet under, but the filmmakers cleverly exhumed him from his grave by keeping him in cryogenic sleep while introducing the unnatural couple's love child, Eve (India Eisley), who is also momentarily placed in her coffin for this slapdash continuation. Not for anything that makes logical sense, but because producers need a convenient excuse for Scott Speedman refusing to return to the franchise.
Reprising her role as the infamous Death Dealer responsible for killing hundreds of Lycans, Beckinsale explains that fans should pretty much give up on ever seen Michael Corvin - you now, the very reason for this franchise's creation - alive. Ironically, the intro also quickly establishes a new setup that essentially asks viewers to forget most of the third sequel, except for a few cursory but still crucial notes to explain this entry's whole purpose for existing. Admittedly, I don't recall most of what happened in Awakening, so those "Previously on. But the question is whether it's any longer necessary. Granted, the opening voiceover minutes with Kate Beckinsale's death-dealing Selene recalling the history of vampires versus Lycans is a signature style of the franchise, though it is the furthest from original, as seen in the equally long-running Resident Evil series.

As the fifth installment of the millennia-long battle between the stylishly gothic undead and the wooly, uncouth werewolf pack, it's highly unlikely the remaining fanbase still willing to pay for this horror-fantasy soap-opera would have forgotten where the last sequel left off.
