Underworld Awakening:( disclaimer: not for pattinson and lautner fans:P)..because here Vampires and werewolves are shown like they are best at)
Well to be honest I am fan of this Vampire vs werewolves(Lycans) series. ( no twilight stuff:P). silver bullets, sunlight ultraviolet bullets..Good vampires..Hybrid having the mixture of Vampire and Lycan and loads of stunts,bloods and fast slick action. but sadly the 4th installment of the series leaves a lot to be desire.
The film starts off with a little recap of the previous movies to give the casual viewer a chance to get an idea of the franchise they are stepping in to. the problem is that if you havent seen previous 3 installments you will find it hard to find who exactly is SELENe and micheal..
It seems humans have found out about Vampire’s and Lycans and they aren’t too happy about it. The monsters that are usually the hunters are now pushed to the brink of extinction. Where does that leave the super-vampire hero SELENe and her Were-pire lover Michael? Well no place good and in an attempt to go into hiding they are ambushed.
The stories moves ahead from the finish of 2nd film where selene( leather suit vampire rebel and best fighter and michael( a good hybrid) have been captured after first 10 minutes of the movie shows that humans resort to ethnic cleansing of the two species- Vampires and Lycans. Lycans are extinct and Vampires remains in hiding. Now remember resident evil 3..)alice escape from hospital) and wicked doctor...same thing happens as our heroine celine wakes up from Limbo after 12 years( subject 2)..she was allowed to run after doctor sees she can be useful in tracking down subject1.
the doctors belong to evil corporation called Antigen is working on the final cure to make sure they can never spread their infection again. while
Well she has visions of someone close which she thinks is of michael. She thinks she’s on his trail but it turns out to be a young girl named Eve (India Eisley) who is a lab grown clone of both her and her Michael (Essentially a little girl were-pire.)
enter a good vampire..helps them..and take them to vampire hiding ground near dam..Later lycan attacked the hiding place and triple size lycan defeat Selene and take away eve.
Good fighting here.
Cut to antigen hospital...the doctor is actually the lycan and all the guards too! with the help of sebastian(detective) Selene realises that lycans were never extinct and we came to know that that triple size king kong lycan is doctor son...fight ensures..doctor lycan vs eve...big lycan vs selene...and rest guards vs good vampire...Some fight...michael runs away after his cyro box was broken by selene...so movie ends with another plot for the next series that lycans will now be behind micheal...
what is really bad....I am not fan of 3 hrs senseless cinema...but 88 minutes is too short a time for this film..That is some editing tighter than Beckinsale’s pants and it’s officially the shortest of the series. Every problem the film has could have easily been fixed with another 20 minutes. There was a lot of movie in that short run-time and it didn’t help!
Many of the plots like sebastian story,vampire elder hidden agenda and others were left for 5th series i assume.
Now for what I liked. The action is amazing., I was a little startled by some glass flying at my face. All of the chorography was just fantastic. Selene has never been more of a badass. She is a cold blooded killer that has been pushed to the edge and has no problem taking out anybody in her quest to find Michael and protect her newfound daughter.
There are some awesome kills .eve openig up werewolve head into two with bare hands. It’s funny how refreshing it can be to see a vampire or werewolf actually act like monsters instead of heartthrobs.
I just really wish they had given the movie a chance with a longer runtime.
another sad part is that..first two series villains..victor..lucien...marcus were powerful...here the villain is nothing to be great at..except triple sizeness...and that means no hand to hand combat or swordship..
still watchable if you are this series fan,...if not leaving it is not a bad choice either!
though best film in the series upto now is underworld 2.
