Customer Reviews
Parts missing that were in the film
This soundtrack was ok but the main reason I purchased it was due to the theme from the first movie soundtrack by Haslinger track named eternity and a day. There are 2 specific scenes in Underworld Evolution that contained a more extended version of this theme. First in the love scene and last the very end of the film a pivitol revelation and the music was great but when I listened to this album it was totally missing. Now the composer for this soundtrack is different from the first so maybe that had something to do with it. But I was very disappointed. I actually gave props for the first movie score because the song played through the trailers not in the film was added to the soundtrack which I rarely see so I was shocked when I got this album and those segments were missing. I still strive to get those segments but if you are looking for that theme beware it's not.
*** 1/11/07- I wanted to add some reviewer commented the music that many have heard as a theme that is not on this soundtrack mentioned it can be found on the first soundtrack. YES it is on the first Underworld soundtrack called "Eternity and a day" but in Underworld evolution it was EXTENDED and more instrumentation and it is NOT on this soundtrack and not the same version in the first album.
A triumph
Composer Marco Beltrami (Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines; Hellboy; I, Robot (Score)) picks up where Paul Haslinger (the composer from the original Underworld movie) left off, and lets the audience have it. With his penchant for melodic themes amidst complex action cues, Beltrami soars to new heights and plummets to new depths. Track 12 "Truckin'" is the cue to sample, with its orchestral assault and fantastic seven-beat charge. The album adds two original songs at the end, including a cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Something I Could Never Have" by up-and-comers Flyleaf.
Definately a soundtrack from an action / vampyre movie, but is it "Underworld"?
Like many Underworld Fans, I loved Evolution, but it is too, main stream. Neither the movie, soundtrack, or score, is as unique as the first, however, the Evolution Score is worthwile, even if for the last two tracks, "Something I can Never Have" and "EracTou". Other tracks, such as any music from scenes with "cleaners" is more distinct that the other back ground music. One of the best things about the album are the names of the tracks, how can you beat, "Ol' timey music", "Mikey Doesn't Like It" "He is my sonshine" and "Kill Will 2"?!? While it does not stand up to the signature sounds of Paul Hasslinger, I do recomend this to anyone who even remotely like Underworld: Evolution.
P.S. Selene is a goddess! (No pun intended)
