Underworld Awakening - Movie Review



Fandango Blurb:
In the years since she and her human-lycan lover, Michael, defeated Elder Marcus, vampire warrior Selene (Kate Beckinsale) has been taken captive by humans, while they wage an all-out war against both lycans and vampires. Awakening after more than a decade, Selene discovers that Michael is dead, but that she has given birth to his daughter, Eve. Shunned by nearly all surviving vampires, save one (Theo James), even Selene seems powerless against her latest opponent: a genetically enhanced lycan.

My Review:
Action Overload with just enough of a plot to tease you. I have to admit it, I'm a lover of the Underworld movies series. They have vamps that don't count on their 'sexy' to get them a kill and lycans that make me want to run and hide in the theatre. A sprinkle of romance laced the earlier movies but there's no time for love in this one only a few touching lovey moments. This was 100% action, killing and vamp vs lycan war. This was so fast paced I didn't even realize the ride was over until the end. And Selene (Kate Beckingsale) kicked but like before and I loved it. Not much bloodsucking in this one, but a lot of fighting, shooting and blowing stuff up. I give it 4 out of 5 stars because again there was little plot and I'm a vamp and lycan lover that loves action.

I haven't seen any of these, but they do look good.

Not a rabid vamp lover, but this I might see.

Love it when the movie's over and I haven't taken off my coat because I was so engrossed.

Hope you have time to stop in at the Write Game and pick up a little something I've left there for you!

This is getting repeated. Action sequences here are not for promoting story but story is for promoting only action. Emotional bond is least, unable to generate any touching moment during the mother-daughter reunion. Munch popcorn during the show and enjoy the action if you must ....

The movie is outstanding ONLY IF they make another movie. The movie is way too short to be a stand alone movie and it creates questions which are not answered, as in: What's up with Michael? Selene and Michael get captured in the beginning of the movie; Selene escapes and haises holy hell; Michael gets loose at the end of the movie, but does not reunite with Selene.
