The DVD says:

For centuries, two races have evolved. Hidden deeply within human culture - the aristocratic, sophisticated Vampires, and the brutal, feral Lycans (werewolves). To humanity, their existence is no more than a whisper of a myth. But to each other, they are the lifelong mortal rivals, sworn to wage a secret war until only one race is left standing. In the midst of this ongoing struggle, a Vampire warrior, Selene (Kate Beckinsale), discovers a Lycan plot, a secret that has terrifying repercussions for both tribes - a plot to awaken a new invincible species of predator that combines the strengths of both creatures and the weaknesses of neither.

My Opinion:

Very dark and moody vampire and werewolf movie which tries to intercut a Matrix feel to the action. I didn't really enjoy it that much as it just seemed like a combination of a number of other films and wasn't trying to stand on it's own merits. I would like to think that the vampire vs. werewolf idea could be dealt with in a much better way (and this has been proven right with Van Helsing). Kate Beckinsale is sexy though in her leather/plastic outfit, but even that can't stop me giving this a mediocre score. This DVD is a 2 disk edition with provides a very nice selection of extras.
