Awesome movie

by atomichipster

I've been a big fan of the Underworld movies so I was excited to see that a new movie had come out. I was a little apprehensive after reading the movie critic reviews but thankfully the Underworld fans all said to see it. I wasn't disappointed,the movie was great!!!

I also saw it in a new Cinemark X-treme Digital movie theater which had incredible sound and cristal clear visuals. I felt like I was sitting in the middle of the action.

See it,

Awesomesauce, thy name is Kate Beckinsale...

by shalimar24

If you liked the other Underworld movies then you will most likely enjoy this one too. Its just Selene doing what she does best- annihilating everyone & everything in her path. Finally, real vampires and real werewolves- none of those stupid mamby-pamsy critters from Twilight! Be prepared for decapitations, burnings, maulings, brief snippets of emotion... Werewolves exploding!!!! If you enjoy action-packed gory movies with a sense of urgency then you will enjoy Underworld Awakening. I LOVE the Underworld series, but I am under no illusion as to the type of films they are. They are crap. Wonderful, highly entertaining Hollywood crap! But still crap. So if you're a film snob(like I can be) and are only interested in something critically acclaimed then go watch something else so that you can sleep at night. ;-) But if you just want an hour and a half of pure entertainment and you like vampires & werewolves than this is epic. Just epic. FYI: Its just as good in 2D.

Action-Packed....Exciting.....

by FandangoMike1

I just got back from the theatre and felt compelled to share my view on Underworld: Awakening. I loved it! If you're a fan of the other 3 movies in the franchise, then you'll definitely enjoy this latest installment in the Underworld saga!

There are a lot of negative reviews out there...DON'T LISTEN TO THEM! In order to understand and appreciate what is happening in this film, you should consider seeing the other 3 so that you can understand what this movie is all about. You could see this without having seen the other 3, but in my opinion, you won't be able to fully appreciate or understand how this film progresses the story.

Having seen the other Underworlds, I was very satisfied with the story development that this film provides. For those that claim that there is no plot, they have no clue what they're saying. Do some homework, watch the other films, and then you'll understand exactly what's happening!

Action and suspense that you have grown to love from Underworld! GO!!

A must see for Underworld fans.

by bugsmac9

The 3D effects were great. However the plot and action sequences make it good in any viewing arena. My wife was also glad that there was not a sex scene as in the second episode.

wanting more

by ejohns35

Great movie, just what I expected. The action parts are awesome. Perfect for mature 13 and up. The ending left me wanting more; it felt like the movie was cut short.

Series has not dissapointed yet...

by abelwon

Series has not dissapointed yet...actually its gotten better. With a new twist to the story and a storyline change within it this action-packed film will keep you hungry for another Underworld. I took my 7 yr old and he asks to see it again. The effects on explosions and gore are definately a plus. And Kate Beckinsale is a monster in this film continuing her role of a Death Dealer. 9 out of 10 stars on this. A must see.

Love it!

by sucka4movies

I must admit that I was a little skeptical before seeing this movie. But I'm such a sucker for the Underworld series that I couldn't resist watching. I was not disappointed with movie. My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed and can't wait for the next installment.

Great sequel

by morpheusxp

I really enjoyed the new Underworld sequel. This has become quite the franchise,always action packed with beautiful visuals and unbelievable special fx. Imho this newest sequel outshines the previous attempt. And the 3D really added to the shock value of the special fx. India Eisley really did a great job pulling off her action sequences,very scary young lady. And of course Kate Beckinsale does a great job as Selene. She is one of a handful of women that can pull off the lead in an action flick,great job. Anyways I thoroughly enjoyed the film and do hope Kate decides to continue the franchise. It isn't quite the same w/o her.

The REAL Vampire/Lycan series

by whitemanwithafro

The movie was everything you'd expect from this fantastic series. Although, it being made available in 3D really didn't do it justice. It should have stayed 2D instead of paying the extra fee for the editors to make some parts 3D post production. Overall, I liked the movie and the series in general. If you liked the other three, then you will enjoy this one as well.

A MUST WATCH!!!!

by jenny0786

Saw this movie on Sunday 1-22-2012 in 3D. I thought it was a great installment to the trilogy! I really didnt get into the 3D part of it; becuase it was my very first 3D movie. But the movie itself is a must see! I love the way they ended it. Not going to elaborate due to possible spoiler; but lets just say it is awesome! Hope you go watch it and enjoy it!

Made for 3D

by WayneSHenry

I have always enjoyed this series and this one was good as well. They did a good job with the 3D effects. I enjoyed it, but not sure I enjoyed $13 worth. :-)

Selene is Back!

by bonesaw192

If you're a fan of the previous Underworld movies, like me, this is a must see movie.
Not only is the sexy vampire death dealer back, but she's in Momma Bear protection mode.
As always, the effects are well done, and while this installment in the series might have a little more gore than the others, they are not to disturbing levels.
Kate Beckinsale does an amazing job, again, and her costars do very well also.
Probably more for teens to adults, not for kids, but a very enjoyable flick

An Awesome Disappointment...

by bluedev14

Overall, this movie kicked ass. Kate Beckinsale was amazing as always and this movie had the best action out of any of the previous films. However, i was expecting a lot more from the movie, a well-developed plot and some new character development (since all the previous characters are basically dead now) but it never really happened. When i say this movie was a disappointment that's not entirely bad, it was still an awesome movie but nothing compared to the other films. The biggest deal breakers for me were 1: that michael wasn't in the film, 2: there was a lack of plot and basis for plot for future underworld films, 3: the film takes place in the future which i thought was kind of lame/cheesy and 4: the movie was waaaay too short . However, upsides to the film 1: best action scenes yet, 2: Interesting plot twists, 3: A new "game-changing" character is brought in. For the average underworld fan: SEE THIS MOVIE it was awesome. My only fear is the direction the future films may take...

Too little of nothing

by JGSC1947

My wife loved it and was terrified of the big new "hybrid." I on the other hand was bored the whole time. The only nice thing was Kate Beckinsale in her leather suit. Even her "nude" scene was odd, smoky and completely unmoving. Weak story, weak script, marginal graphics of werewolfs that looked like large Golums and totally odd, unmoving chase and fight scenes. I felt like they just wanted to show a little graphics, capitalize on better scripts in the past and charge me more because of the brand. For me, a major disapointment. AND it's short, 1:29--and for me an hour too long.

Underworld x 4

by Leo12466

While staying nicely in the original theme of Lycan vs. Vampire, the movie overall left me a bit wanting when it came to storyline.
The main characters hold reasonably, but killing off the hybrid father in the begining, or at least appearing to, was a cheap plot trick. Not very thoughtful.

Of course the story is left open-ended just in case Hollywood wants to make a few more dollars off the never-ending story. Nothing coming out of hollywood seems to end cleanly anymore.

Give me a great storyline with an exciting amd interesting presentation, and I'll spend my hard-earned cash on the ever increasing theatre prices. Otherwise I'm saving my money, stocking up on popcorn and watching the movie next year when it comes out on Netflix.
