Next, Underworld

[karohemd]

Nice little film, nothing too fancy, OK effects, standard plot but with a definite WoD look/feel to it but the feel is where the similarities end.
- Werewolves aren't immortal in the WoD
- Selene cried real tears (not blood), breathed and whatnot
- OK, there were bloodlines but hardly in the WoD clan meaning
- In the WoD, Selene would never have been able to get Viktor out of torpor
- The word "embrace" wasn't mentioned once, instead they used "turn".
- Both species are capable of procreation and Viktor calls the possible result an abomination, not the embrace of a Lycan. "Abomination" is the only word that's used in both settings but it is a rather general term indicating something that shouldn't or musn't be.

Other than the feel, I can't find anything that's blatantly WoD (terminology, mechanics, whatever), I think WW will be on difficult grounds.

General comments:
- Matrix style guns which don't run out of ammo still annoy me. WTF was Selene shooting with? Looked like a normal handgun but with automatic fire and at least a 50 round clip...
- UV rounds? Riiiight
- Silver nitrate solution isn't silver!


However, I want that mansion as game venue! ;o)
