Review - Underworld Awakening

Wow, it's almost the end of January and I only have one post? Daymmnnn... my work is completely kicking my ass... gotta work out a better system...


Anyway, yesterday, I went and caught the new Underworld entry... Awakening... but first, gotta cop to this... I did not catch Rise of the Lycans, because it was a prequel and there was no Selene... and I kinda forgot the second one completely... Evolution... hardly remember it... doesn't bode well for that movie huh?


Anyway, Awakening starts with images of a culling... the killing of both werewolves and vampires... as the humans discover their existence by way of infections... anyway, so the government kick-ass team finally caught up with Selene and Michael and succeeded in capturing them... cut to 12 years later when Selene was freed from her containment cell, by her daughter... Selene finds the world has changed and she has to fight to keep her hybrid daughter safe from a lycan plot to take over the world...


Not sure if this Awakening has better action than the other movies but its pace is sure fast and furious... stopping only for a bit here and there for the sake of the audience with brains so that they can explain stuff and get things moving along before the action resumes...


Quite nice... even the red herring was not too obvious... only realize it when they were about to reveal em... unfortunately, we have to wait 3 more years for the next Underworld installment... huhu...
