| 46 of 51 people found the following review helpful  Non-Stop Action Flick, By This review is from: Underworld: Awakening (DVD) I LOVED the 4th installment of the Underworld Series. It was non-stop action and kept me completely engaged the whole time.There was a "cleansing" where the government killed all the Vampires and Lycans. Of course, they never did get them all. Now it appears that the Lycans have been holding up somewhere and reproducing (yuk--there's a mental picture that will burn your eyes right out of their sockets). This time, a 12-year old girl shows up on the scene, and Selene just cannot let her get thrown to the wolves, so to speak. Everybody wants the little girl, but don't let anybody fool you. This is no "let's play doll house" kid! Kate Beckinsale does a wonderful job and is in her prime fighting the remaining Lycans. There is lots of action, chasing, blood and guts, heads lopping off, etc. Selene is tough and MEAN! This was thoroughly enjoyable. Although I usually do not watch bloody stuff like this, I am hooked on Underworld and will definitely buy the...

Filmed with 3D Cameras, By QuickSilverSeven (USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Underworld: Awakening [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray) To the point: This action/horror hybrid was filmed using Red Epic 3D cameras on the set for most of the film, and the result? Excellent 3D in Underworld Awakening. When the movie starts, it's in 2D highlighting the previous films, but then it switches to 3D and wow. For 3D, I consider it great when the foreground, mid ground and background pop very clearly from one another in depth so there's no mistake it's 3D. This is clearly the case with Underworld Awakening. The 3D is easily comparable to Resident Evil Afterlife 3D, which used the Fusion Cameras as Avatar 1 did.Underworld Awakening 3D: Top notch 3D that has excellent depth and pop, as well as some 'pop out' moments with Selene's famous throwing stars and the Lycans attacking the screen. Very slick and stylish action throughout and Kate Beckinsale is fun to watch. The main storyline takes place 12 years after the 2nd film, Underworld Evolution. Movie: 8/10 Story was basic, but reveals unanswered... Read more 69 of 82 people found the following review helpful The Underworld franchise is redeemed after temporary loss of Beckensale. A+ for action and mindless entertainment value., By Tokay (Lexington, KY) - See all my reviews This review is from: Underworld: Awakening (DVD) Thank God! Beckinsale returns. I had no difficulty watching Rhona Mitra, but Rise of the Lycans just hurt me. I hate seeing non-returning actors replaced. I thought the amputation of Beckensale would leave the franchise forever bitter and crippled from making new sequels. And while filled with action, I struggled with the drop in CGI quality, especially for backgrounds. But have no fear. The budget is back, and it brought Beckensale with it. The franchise is redeemed and primed for more sequels.After a quick recap of the first two movies' events, we are introduced to a near-future in which the vampires and lycans (werewolves) have been discovered by humans. It is acknowledged in the movie that `now these nonhumans are more than myth' and, not surprisingly given human nature, the humans militarized a "cleansing" to eradicate the vampires and lycans. In this middle of all this Selene (Beckinsale) is captured and cryogenically frozen. This is where the background... Read more |
