“In space, no one can hear you scream.”
Underworld’s gory fight scenes and byzantine werewolf vs. vampire lore are either your thing or they’re not. If you’re already in the fan club, Evolution is a capable sequel that sets up even more bizarre movies to come.
The Tomorrow War debuted this month on Amazon Prime. Critics haven’t exactly been raving, but creepy creature designs and plenty of action make it a fun popcorn flick.
