It all feels so familiar as to be almost restful, but maybe that is the calming omnipresent blue filter. Prologue over, we skip ahead 12 years to an uncomprehending Selene escaping from a cryogenic container in some sinister lab, with the help of an unseen fellow escapee, Subject 2, whom she assumes to be Michael.
Anyway Selene stops only briefly to kit herself out with the first of two flappy coats, and is once again on the run from lycans and humans and desperate to track down…all together now…Michael.
Dance here continues the long illustrious line of respected British actors — Bill Nighy , Derek Jacobi , Michael Sheen — to have graced this franchise. Brits are just so vampirey, right? The Lycans have been secretly building their strength and carrying out research on a vaccine under the guise of a human research facility called Antigen.
Thought to be dwindling and in hiding, whilst kidnapping Eve, they show a full force of their strength, including the oversized, instantly healing Lycan, who is the son of the head Lycan researcher, Dr. Jacob Lane. We subsequently find that Eve has been raised in the facility and had never been outside until she escaped with Selene. Eve is the daughter of Selene and Michael and is thought to be an advanced form of hybrids — more powerful than the Vampires and Lycans.
This is seen quite clearly on multiple occasions when the little girl loses her temper and ends up decimating whatever creature is causing her harm.
The Lycans, in an attempt to gain immunity from silver and become stronger, plan to harvest genetic material from Eve to use in their vaccines. We can already see the results of the vaccine in the almost unkillable behemoth Lycan. Hence, they are after Eve to use her rare hybrid blood to empower themselves and defeat the Vampires and humans. Michael, apart from carrying the genes of the original Corvinus clan — which was immortal — has also been bitten by Selene and subsequently by the Lycan leader Lucian.
This resulted in him becoming the first Vampire-Lycan hybrid with significantly superior powers. Selena, a Vampire, got her strength after imbibing the blood of the original immortal Alexander Corvinus. Therefore, the daughter of Selene and Michael basically holds the holy grail of genetic material that draws from the strengths of all the species, making her a very valuable asset.

Selene drives him to one of the secret Vampire safe houses , where she explains to him the full implications of his situation.
Selene handcuffs Michael to a chair after kissing him and gives him a gun with silver bullets. She then leaves Michael at the safe house while she returns to the Coven. As the hours' pass, Michael tries to break the chain of the handcuffs by shooting it but misses.
He falls asleep and dreams of someone else's memories from the past. When Michael awakens, he sees Selene rushing into the room. She is being pursued by Lycans and wants to get Michael out of there. Selene shoots out the window and orders Michael to escape. Frightened, he initially hesitates but the gun battle becomes so intense that he falls out the window.
On the way down, his body contorts, allowing him to land on his feet unharmed. Upon glimpsing the full moon out of the car's window, he begins to change into Lycan form.
To stop this, Pierce and Taylor inject him with an enzyme. Michael is taken to the Lycan den , where he meets Lucian. Once there, he is flooded with Lucian's memories, triggered by the sight of Lucian's medallion, and learns that it was a Vampire Elder named Viktor who started the war between the Lycans and Vampires by killing Lucian's lover, Sonja , who was Viktor's own daughter. Soon afterwards, Death Dealers invade the lair.
Selene breaks from the group and finds Michael. She releases him from his bonds and the two kiss. As Selene tries to escape with Michael, they are confronted by her jealous suitor, Kraven. Enraged at seeing Selene with another man, Kraven shoots Michael with silver nitrate bullets.
Michael falls to the ground, suffering the effects of the silver bullets due to his Werewolf gene. Lucian tells Selene to bite Michael, as it is the only way to save his life. She does but is knocked aside by a vengeful Viktor. Seeing Michael, Viktor throws him through a wall into a puddle of water. Beginning to feel the effects of both viruses combining, Michael transforms into the first Hybrid. Viktor engages in a fight with Michael, believing that a Hybrid is an "abomination" that should not be allowed to live.
Michael initially gains the upper hand due to his greater strength but Viktor, an Elder Vampire with centuries of combat experience, ultimately overpowers him. At the end of the fight, Viktor puts Michael in a chokehold and comes close to killing Michael, but Selene interferes to save Michael by using Viktor's sword to slice his head in half, killing him.
Michael learns to transform at will and soon begins to understand the power he has been given, yet still refuses to submit to the Immortal need to drink blood for sustenance. They initially attempt to hide in one of the Vampire safe houses, but Michael refuses to believe Selene when she tells him he shouldn't eat human food, and goes to a nearby tavern. Michael's attempts at eating normal food go awry when his body rejects it, causing him to begin to vomit explosively.
This and an ill-timed news bulletin about Michael's suspected involvement in the shooting at the subway from the previous night catches the attention of two police officers, who level their guns at Michael.
Overcome with rage and bloodlust, Michael transforms partially and attacks one of the officers. Realizing what he is doing, he flees the restaurant, pursued by the officers. During the pursuit, he is shot several times, but the timely intervention of Selene saves his life. After incapacitating the police officers, Selene has Michael drink her blood, to help quicken the healing of his wounds.
Believing that Selene has something he wants, Marcus attacks her. Michael shoots Marcus, giving them time to escape. The duo flees to the road, where they hijack a truck. Michael fully transforms into his Hybrid form and begins to battle with Marcus.
They seem evenly matched until Marcus nearly throws Michael off the truck, leaving him hanging on only by the chains. Selene is able to shake Marcus's hold on the truck by slamming it into the side of a cliff. As the sun rises, Selene hides in the truck, which Michael drives into an abandoned warehouse.
There, he covers the windows in black paint and attempts to use a first aid kit to heal Selene's wounds, only to discover they have already healed over completely. They spend the day there and consummate their affections for each other. Arriving at his hideout , Selene falls through a trapdoor, forcing Michael to intervene.
He is, however, knocked down a hill by a guard Lycan. Michael shifts into his Hybrid form and easily kills two remaining guard Lycans defending Tanis's lair and later frightens Tanis himself. After learning the truth about Selene's family and how the Vampire and Lycan species came to be, Selene and Michael travel to the Sancta Helena , a cargo ship where Michael meets his distant ancestor, Alexander Corvinus.
Marcus's sudden intrusion and the subsequent battle causes Michael to be impaled and apparently killed on a steel beam beneath a nearby dock. Enraged and saddened, Selene leaves to stop Marcus from releasing his twin brother, William Corvinus , the first Werewolf and the creator of the Lycan bloodline. Not wanting to leave Michael's body alone, Selene demands that he be brought with her in the helicopter to William's lair.
Due to the tremendous healing powers possessed by a Hybrid, his body regenerates, and he is brought back to life. Michael descends into William's prison to save Selene and engages in battle with William.
Though he is initially overpowered by the Werewolf, Michael is eventually able to get his hands on William's jaw and rips his head in half. Distracted by his twin brother's death, Marcus is overcome by Selene, who kills him.
Reunited, Selene and Michael passionately kiss as they stand in the sunlight in William's lair.
