Underworld: Awakening
Well as a non-fan of vampires I actually like this series. I happen to love strong female based characters like Selene(Kate Beckinsale). And even if you have never seen any of the previous movies you can sit back and enjoy all of the action that this part of the story has to offer.
After the events of Underworld: Evolution, something terrible happened. Humans found out about the existence of vampires and Lycans (werewolves) and the Purge began – a mass genocide of all the non-humans – FINALLY!! Selene and her mate, a vampire-Lycan hybrid named Michael (Scott Speedman) tried to escape, but they were captured. Twelve years later, Selene awakens. She has been cryogenically frozen by scientists and set free by someone whose eyes she can sometimes see through. Believing it is Michael, Selene escapes from her chamber and goes in search of him. Instead she finds a girl, Eve (India Eisley), a young hybrid who claims to be Selene’s daughter.
It’s a very captivating story with plenty of action that keeps you glued to the screen the entire time. I wish they had of done this in only IMAX instead of the completely unnecessary 3-D. In some of the scenes the 3-D effects makes the characters look like ridiculous CG toy figures, which were highly distracting and took away from the action. But besides that there is plenty of gore and fight scenes that Underworld fans have grown to love. So get in the car, pile in the fam, or take your date to see this, you won’t be disappointed.
