| Amazing movie (by gotmuch1) |
| I have been a big fan of all the underworld movies. I believe the story is amazingly well played and its never a "you are left wanting more" film. I have read a few reviews of this film from people saying that it lacks story line/plot. Which I cannot believe. Every Underworld movie brings something new to the scene. One review said there was a 'dull' breakout intro kinda feeling like 'resident evil' style. First off, this is incredibly wrong. This movie and all other underworlds LACKED any dullness. Yes, Kate Beckinsale is incredibly gorgeous eye candy and the <more> |
| Best Underworld Movie Ever and Better Than The Rest Combined! (by swt8408) |
| I just joined this site today purposely to write this review. This movie was incredible! I haven't seen so much action packed into a vampire movie ever. It's the best movie I have seen since HUGO and it was just great. I was at the edge of my seat in so many of the fight scenes. Selene is back and stronger, faster and more kick ass than ever. The movie is just great. I hope all fantasy, action and adventure directors take notice of what happened. I didn't think the script was all that great but the action sure made up for it and the story was decent too. I can't wait till the <more> |
| The Series Kicks Off Finally (by mclean-finn) |
| I have never been a fan of the Underworld series its lack of detailed story left me mind boggling for answers but here in Underworld Awakening the series really starts to make sense. It tells you everything you wanted to know. I am now very curious to see if the franchise will go further. And now if you watch all the film makes perfect sense. Know I am now a big fan of the Underworld franchise I do not want it to go much further. I think it has carried on for too long. I think they need to make a final movie and be done with it. So yes this movie is good. If they decide to make a few more <more> |
| Very fast paced action! Loved it! (by srsachan) |
| Well! I loved the movie as I was entertained! Isn't that is why we watch movies, for me movies should be entertaining first whether they can satisfy the critic's or not. This part is very fast paced u never get bored for a minute, its is action truly underworld style. Sometimes its very hard for me to believe that how movies like twilight Boring love story and action nothing to speak of work so well at the box office and underworld doesn't. Maybe its a personal choice of viewers. But if i have to rate vampire movies i would certainly rate Underworld any part higher than any of <more> |
| Great action and effects, but mainly for the fans...like me. (by dtander-1) |
| The summary says it...this movie is all about the action and effects and pounding sound track...and Kate Beckinsale, not that there's anything wrong with that. However it merely dips its toe into the world of Underworld, and has less actual story than a typical TV episode. I enjoyed it a lot, but if you aren't a fan of the earlier movies you likely won't. If you're not familiar but are intrigued anyway, view the first two movies on home video.One more thing...I saw this one on IMAX 3D and while the 3D didn't add much, it didn't take away much either...the screen image <more> |
| Excellent addition to the series (by nichomach) |
| Underworld: Awakening is a fast-paced action movie, with excellent performances from all the cast. Reminiscent of Underworld: Evolution in its unrelenting pace, it actually feels like a significantly more cohesive effort than that. I liked U:E, but at times it felt too much like a progression of set-pieces rather than a continuous narrative. Fortunately, the adroit pacing, strong plot and convincing performances here neatly avert any such misgivings with U:A. Beckinsale is excellent again, taking the character of Selene forward and establishing a new battleground for our favourite <more> |
| Kate Kicks Uber Lycan A** (by hapunagirlpt) |
| Kate Beckinsale is hot as ever in this 4th installment of the Underworld franchise. This movie moves super fast and is full of gore and action from start to finish. I love my vampire/werewolf movies and this one doesn't disappoint. Though lacking a little bit in storyline, it makes up for it with swift action and great special effects. In the words of my 9 year old son, "This movie is awesome!" My main reason for watching movies is to keep me entertained, and this movie did that without fail. It was great to see India Eisley on the big screen, I won't spoil it for those of <more> |
| Chix Chat on Film review: Selene gets back to basics. (by EmmaDinkins) |
| This installment of the Underworld series was the only sequel to premiere this weekend. I have grown to expect a great deal from sequels because my thinking is that if it gets green lit it should also get better funding. Better funding typically translates into better imagery. Underworld: Awakening was one of the best of the four Underworld stories and Rise of the Lycans was the worst, possibly because it was the only one sans Selene Kate Beckinsale . The trailer tells us that now the Vampire and Lycan threat is that of the humans, based on their discovery of the existence of the underworld <more> |
| Nice movie for a sequel (by kat_777) |
| I was very thrilled to know that Kate Beckinsale is returning as Selene in the upcoming underworld film. I loved the first two movies and I wondered how the second was going to be all about. Usually such sequel are unnecessary. The stories are just pushed into the series and finally we feel that, hey that was not necessary. It spoiled the thrill of the first film. But not in this case.Vampires in the underworld are hundred times more thrilling than the vampires in twilight saga. Kata Beckinsale returns as the beautiful, slick and stylish vampire gal Selene. But yes she has changed a lot. She <more> |
