Underworld Rise Of The Lycans (aka Underworld 3) (2009)

In the Dark Ages the world was blue and the pretentious vampires kept hairy humans (who were werewolves) as slaves. If Underworld Rise Of The Lycans can be taken as historically correct.

Sonja (Rhona Mitra from Doomsday), is the vampire daughter of the vampire king Viktor (Bill Nighy from The Boat That Rocked) and she is secretly having an affair with one of the slaves, Lucian (Michael Sheen from Frost/Nixon). Meanwhile the Lycans are becoming increasingly restless with the bloodsuckers lording it over them and a battle is looming.

They keep making these movies, and I keep watching them in the hope they will get the formula right, but they never do. The cast is good, but the script and direction are forgettable and more lifeless than the vampires.
