Not that bad - the return of Kate Beckinsale (in the smokin' hot bodysuit) is welcome and the story itself is interesting (certainly better than the rather drab Rise of the Lycans). Though it's still mostly action and only occasionally good CGI, if you're a fan of this series - or bloody action - it's worth it to check out. |

The action is good, but..... Still a followup and not that surprising. Even at the end the makers keep the plot open for number five. If possible I like vampires, and the movies they play in but now Underworld gets disapoinedly predictable. |

I liked the first three Underworld movies, because they actually had a story good enough to follow. They had an interesting setting and characters to root for. But this... This movie... What was this? A bit longer trailer? What was the story actually? Who are all these new 5-minute long characters I do not care a bit for? And Michael? Now I am, now I am not, now we are playing hide-and-seek, what? The idea to involve humans wasn't really bad, but all these battles and kills were pointless and made all the (old and new) characters look plainly dumb. |

i'm a big fan of vampire movies but not the underworld ones that potray them to be something so far removed from the original idear its silly. but saying that the underworld movies are enjoyable and like resident evil you know you are going to be entertained,
This one however was probably the weakest of the underworld series the last movie was big and grand this one seems and feels empty. id say the series is running out of gas. its ok entertainment but lacks the grandness and story of the past movies . worth watching but offers nothing new. |

Underworld Awakening 3 out of 4 stars |

The latest edition to the Underworld series doesn't disappoint. It isn't as fresh as the first film, but that is to be expected beings this is the fourth film in the series. The continued use of puppets instead of CG to depict the Lycans is one of the things which draw me to this specific series. The use of CG is over done in many instances, for example in the original Star Wars films compared to the prequel trilogy. The acting and action continues to be excellent in this film, and the introduction of new characters is done in a way which makes sense to the plot, which is important. All of the actors are the same as well, in my opinion nothing is more annoying that switching actors in a film series (i.e. the colonel in Iron Man, and Rachel in the Dark Knight trilogy). The only part ... |

fun and exciting to watch! |

Kate is back sexier, angrier, and more powerful than ever!
The movie starts out with a quick recap of the first two movies then continues to Selene waking up seeking answers in her sleek black latex outfit. The audience learns that she's been experimented on for the past twelve years by scientist Dr. Jacob Lane (Stephen Rea) who says he is looking for a cure for both Vampire and Lycan afflictions. She is Specimen Two and she assumes Specimen One is her beloved Michael. Selene soon discovers that the humans are on a mission to destroy them but Selene is a Death Dealer and her foes should remember that at all times.
I don't want to give away any of the film's "secrets" but suffice to say, she's extremely p*ssed and NO ONE will stand in her way. At barely 90 minutes Underworld: Awakeni... |
