Includes Extended Cut for UnderworldMay 12, 2009
By GoodBoy This trilogy set includes the Underworld: Extended Edition. Why make a seperate cut just for the box set (I don't think they did)? I think it's safe to say it is identical to the already released Underworld Unrated Extended edition that's out on bluray.
So if you already have the other titles, no need to buy a box set that's basically just packaging them all together.
But if you only saw one of the movies and liked it, you definately need to see the rest.

Bad DVD Case PackagingMay 17, 2009
By Scandelous The 3 DVDs are stacked one on top of another and held by a single clip. I doubt it would have cost more than a cent or two to insert a plastic DVD separator page. The current packaging causes the DVDs to be easily scratched upon eachother during removal and replacement to the clip. The movies are great, but the packaging is cheaply done.

underworld trilogyDec 03, 2009
By James fellows for anyone getting this be warned there is no divider for the three cd's. they are pretty much stacked ontop of the other one. the first underworld is the unrated extended edition which in my opinion is better then the version that is rated R. so other then the no divider thing its a good buy, though you would think they could afford to put a divider in the case to actualy protect the cd's.

separate cases for blu ray discsFeb 20, 2012
By HBMomOfThree I read some reviews stating the discs would come stacked in a single case but i was glad to find out that this actually has separate cases for each blu ray disc and the anime bonus in an envelope. Kudos to the manufacturer for listening to the consumers:)

Looking forward to this collectionNov 03, 2011
By Crazy Animated
"The Collector"
I'm really excited about this set because it contains the extended "Underworld", the anime episodes, and the packaging just looks awesome! I have the three films already, but only on dvd and my copy of "Underworld" is just the theatrical version. I'm really looking forward to upgrading this to Blu ray!
Each film is loaded with special features: "Underworld" Extended cut - Commentary with Director Len Wiseman, Kate Beckinsale and Scott Speedman, Outtakes, Featurettes: Fang vs.Fiction, The Making of "Underworld", The Visual Effects of "Underworld", Creature Effects, Stunts, Designing "Underworld", The Look of "Underworld", Sights and Sounds, Music Video by Finch - "Worms of the Earth", Storyboard Comparison. "Underworld Evolution" - Filmmakers' Commentary with Len Wiseman, Patrick Tatopoulos, Brad Martin and Nicolas De Toth, Featurettes: Bloodlines: From Script to Screen, The Hybrid Theory, Making Monsters Roar, The War Rages On, Building a Saga, Music and Mayhem, Music Video "Her Portrait In Black" by Atreyu. "Underworld Rise of the Lycans" - Filmmaker Commentary with Len Wiseman, Patrick Tatopoulos, James McQuaide, Gary Lucchesi and Richard Wright, Behind the Castle Walls: Picture-in-Picture, Lycanthropes Around the World Interactive Map, Featurettes: "Underworld Rise of the Lycans" - From Script to Screen, The Origin of the Feud, Re-Creating the Dark Ages: The Look of "Underworld Rise of the Lycans", Music Video: "Deathclub (Wes Borland/Renholder Remix)" By William Control Feat. Matt Skiba. The fourth disc contains the complete three-part animated series "Underworld Endless War", which contains the franchise' main characters in stories that flesh out the centuries old struggle between vampire and werewolf.
This set also comes with Ultra-Violet digital copies for each film, but seeing as how most people have had a rather disagreeable time with this brand I wouldn't count it as a plus. I personally don't care about digital copies one way or another, so to me this set is great!
The collection will also contain two movie tickets to see the fourth installment, "Underworld Awakening", in theaters this January. I'm greatly anticipating this movie as well! I think this is a collection worth getting if you're a fan of the series, and if you haven't seen the films before but like dark fantasy, this set won't let you down!
UPDATE - Apparently Amazon does not include the movie tickets with this product and so that is somewhat disappointing. I take one star off my review but still feel this is a great collection.
