Quotes Eve : I dreamt of the day we would meet. User reviews Review. Top review. Not enough vengeance. For those who came in late, the Underworld series is all about the eternal enmity between the non-human species of Vampires and Lycans, the latter being an evolved race of werewolves. So far, we learned all about the centuries of bloodshed, and the absolute necessity for the 2 groups never to reconcile.
At the heart of the narrative is Selene Kate Beckinsale , who was once the pride and joy of the Vampire army, till she fell in love with a hybrid part vampire part Lycan , and began to question the ethics of her tribe. Underworld: Awakening begins with a new development in the world that Selene and Michael inhabit. Thus far, the inferior human species has remained unaware of the existence of the other species.
Now that covens and nests have been unearthed, paranoia strikes, and annihilation of non-humans becomes military priority. Selene and Michael try to leave the area by boat, but both are captured and frozen in a lab, for research. When Selene awakens, she manages to flee from her prison, only to find that it is now 12 years later. Lycans are almost extinct, there is a weapon that she has, and her enemies want it for their evil purpose.
This installment of the Underworld franchise has the flimsiest plot, the least talented actors except, of course, for Stephen Rea , and the most unsatisfactory climax. In fact, this has to be the first movie of the series that leaves loyalists not clamoring for more.
The premise is so incredulous and not in a good way , that you will stop trying to comprehend the sequence of events that leads Selene to the end of the movie. To make up for the lack of a credible story, the makers decided to intersperse every second conversation with visuals of ripped heads, severed body parts and plenty of blood. The gore in the movie is not only irrelevant, but also added for shock value, or so it seems.
The icing on the cake is the presence of constantly flickering lights. The lab has them, the parking lots have them, the corridors have them - the civilized world does not seem to believe in proper lighting.
What the audience is left with is a semi-hypnotized sense of being after sitting through all those lights. Kate Beckinsale goes through all the motions of being Selene with the ease of a professional. She has done this to perfection before, but this time, she seems complacent, and bored. A FL native, Michael is passionate about pop culture, and earned an AS degree in film production in He also loves both Marvel and DC movies, and wishes every superhero fan could just get along.
