Films like Underworld: Evolution.

Underworld: Evolution (2006) reads as Sombre, breathless, extreme fantasy / action, inventive in texture. Ambivalent, epic, measured. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
