LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Marthian80 I'm not a big fan of the Underworld movie franchise but I enjoyed the first two installments and after the prequel setting of the below-average third movie, I was interested what would become of the Selene and Michael story. Turned out I haven't missed much.This movie starts with a brief re-cap of what happened in the first two movies. After that it is explained that the vampires and lycans are discovered by the rest of mankind, who want to wipe both species out. Selene fights hard against the humans, searching for Michael which she finds in the harbor. Unfortunately, a grenade hits the both of them just after they find each other and all goes black for Selene. She wakes up a long time later from cryogenic sleep in a laboratory, having no idea what has happened to Michael or the other vampires. Selene now has to find out where the remaining vampires are, if the lycans are still a threat and how she mysteriously woke up from her sleep.. While the story is 'okay-ish', this is a very weak and sometimes laughably bad movie. Okay, I know these movies are not supposed to be taken to seriously but the characters are so weak, the CGI so horrible and the action so over the top that it's just bad. The only character with more then two lines of background is Selene and only if you watched the previous installments. Nothing new is added to her character, no development at all. And I'm supposed to believe that she cannot be damaged at all? She gets elevators dropped on top of her, cars thrown against her but nothing can hurt her, or her outfit. She also can bring people back from the dead by sticking her hand inside them and grabbing their heart..? WTF? The other characters are just there to be killed off or given a few lines to help the plot along. You are supposed to care about some characters but because they are just cardboard cutouts, you just laugh at the horrible bad effects when they get killed or kill lycans. There is a car chase scene with lycans pursuing the heroes but it looked so bad that I was just laughing. I have seen video game cut scenes from the 90's with better effects. So yeah, unless your a big fan of the franchise best leave this movie in the garbage bin. Stick to the first two movies and write your own ending for the franchise, it will be better then this pile of manure.

adonis98-743-186503 When human forces discover the existence of the Vampire and Lycan clans, a war to eradicate both species commences. The vampire warrior Selene leads the battle against humankind. With Blood Wars coming out on December 1st i decided to wrap up my reviews for the Underworld Franchise once and for all with Underworld: Awakening a film that i remembered very different because Underworld 4 is actually pretty good and Kate Beckinsale still rocks as Selene she even went on a rampage and killed humans on this one, there's even a scene where she visits the building where her daughter is in and they shoot her and she is just a boss. But the biggest surprise from this film was actually India Eisley as Eve her transformation was terrific and i loved that part where she fought against Stephen Rea who plays Dr. Jacob Lane who also had another great transformation as for the big werewolf i think he was alright he isn't the worst bad guy of this Franchise but he isn't the best one either the cgi was a bit off at times but for the most part there were some practical effects also which saves the film more. Sandrine Holt has officially been murdered by a Terminator, a Werewolf and Zombies. To wrap this up if you know what you're getting into you won't be disappointed and this is definitely a much better Franchise than Resident Evil in my opinion.

Spikeopath Popcorn bonanza as the Underworld series passes by in a whirl of effects driven action. Kate Beckinsale returns as super sexy - latex wearing - vampire Selene, after having skipped the third movie, here added into the mix is that Selene is searching for her hybrid daughter, while the pesky humans are intent on wiping out all vampires and lycans.Cue carnage. The story is very slight, the script equally so, where pretty much all roads lead to another action scene. So Selene leaps about a lot amongst blood, brains and beasties, the later of which fronted by a new giganticus hulkus werewolf. No actor in the film is asked to stretch their acting chops, but for fans of the series and action junkies in general, this is undeniably a good fun movie. 6/10

Reservoir Dogs Michael is not in this movie !!! Yes i am very happy that this actor is not anymore here, i mean seriously what a painful guy!This Michael is supposed to have a lot of powers by being hybrid, may be the most powerful immortal, and he just meow like a cat in all the franchise, never want to drink blood to get stronger or whatever vampire or lycan do to be at the top, always helped by Selene which without her, he will not stand one single battle with all the powers he supposed to have, what a joke this guy is. So he is not in this movie (just frozen in a box without acting at all) and it is a very good thing ... finally !!The story is not the best of the franchise, but it's OK, so they got a daughter in vitro, the characters are not well developed, which let us a bit hungry to know more about them, specially the cop and the super werewolf. Over all it is nice to watch one time, and that's all.
