Underworld Rise of the Lycans
>> Sunday, January 25, 2009
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans is the third installment of films in the Underworld series. It is a prequel set prior to Underworld and Underworld: Evolution, covering the origins of some characters. Screen Gems released the film on January 23, 2009.
The film opens with a monologue by Sonja about the vampires and Lycans and how the vampires began enslaving the Lycans. It also shows Lucian's birth from a captive Lycan and how Viktor spared him (killing the lycan mother), making him the first Lycan able to take human form. Then it fast fowards to Lucian's teen years as he spars with a group of Death Dealers and defeats them all. Viktor, genuinely impressed, decides to make more Lycans for the benefit of the coven. Unknown to Viktor, his young daughter, Sonja, develops an attraction to the young Lycan, and Lucian becomes fond of Sonja as well.
After the title, a Death Dealer is shown riding through a small chasm while being trailed by wild Lycans that are unable to assume human form, unlike their civil brethren. When they make it to the field, more vampires begin shooting at the Lycans with crossbows. Lucian kills two Lycans just about to leap on the Dealer and kills one just as it enters the coven's walls. Viktor comes out and the Dealer is revealed to be Sonja. Viktor asks Lucian if he feels any remorse for his kind and Lucian replies with "they are mindless animals, no brethren of mine."
Lucian interferes as a slave master brutally beats a Lycan slave for transgressions. The racist slave master tells Lucian he will be there when Lucian falls. After the slaves leave, Lucian sneaks into a small tunnel to a cliff, where he meets with Sonja and they make love. Lucian asks Sonja if she would leave with him and she protests his leaving, but he is determined, and even shows her a key to his collar he made himself (the collar, due to its silver metal and deadly barbs, prevented him from transforming under Viktor's watch). He proceeds to leave and exits the tunnel, unaware that Tanis, Viktor's right-hand man, is observing him.
As human nobles come to meet with the vampire council for protection from the wild wolves in exchange for a tithe, Sonja goes out to guard them. Lucian hears the Lycans near Sonja and steals a horse and sword from a nearby Death Dealer. The Lycans attack and kill the noble and Lucian fights them. Raze is revealed to have been one of the noble's slaves. He begins to fight off Lycans and sees Lucian take off his collar and change into a Lycan. The wild Lycans back down to his howl and leave before he is shot down by Viktor's men. Sonja protests and claims he only changed to save her life. Viktor, feeling betrayed, locks Lucian away after whipping him 30 times with a three pronged chain-bladed whip.
Lucian becomes friends with Raze and speaks to Sonja about escape. He informs her that Tanis knows about their relationship and tells her to use him to get help out of the coven without her father's knowledge. Tanis agrees to assist them for Sonja's spot on the council, which would enable him to amass more political influence. He gives Lucian the key to his collar and the same night, Raze is turned into a Lycan. In the morning, Lucian escapes and kills the slave master and begins to free the other Lycans. The guards are alerted and the liberated Lycans begin to be slaughtered by the Death Dealers' large crossbolts. A majority of the Lycans are trapped and Lucian is forced to leave without them. He and Raze begin finding "conscripts" for his "army" and even travels to the lair of the wild Lycans in order to forge an alliance between the two "rival" factions of wolf.
