The vampire Selene has escaped imprisonment only to face a world where both vampires and lycans face extinction at the hands of man, who has discovered their secret existence. Did you know that underword was going to be called underworld a new dawn. underworld 4: awakeing . This movie is just terrible awful writing, weak story and this is not the best but the worst

Not that bad - the return of Kate Beckinsale (in the smokin' hot bodysuit) is welcome and the story itself is interesting (certainly better than the rather drab Rise of the Lycans). Though it's still mostly action and only occasionally good CGI, if you're a fan of this series - or bloody action - it's worth it to check out.

The action is good, but..... Still a followup and not that surprising. Even at the end the makers keep the plot open for number five. If possible I like vampires, and the movies they play in but now Underworld gets disapoinedly predictable.

I liked the first three Underworld movies, because they actually had a story good enough to follow. They had an interesting setting and characters to root for. But this... This movie... What was this? A bit longer trailer? What was the story actually? Who are all these new 5-minute long characters I do not care a bit for? And Michael? Now I am, now I am not, now we are playing hide-and-seek, what? The idea to involve humans wasn't really bad, but all these battles and kills were pointless and made all the (old and new) characters look plainly dumb.

i'm a big fan of vampire movies but not the underworld ones that potray them to be something so far removed from the original idear its silly. but saying that the underworld movies are enjoyable and like resident evil you know you are going to be entertained, This one however was probably the weakest of the underworld series the last movie was big and grand this one seems and feels empty. id say the series is running out of gas. its ok entertainment but lacks the grandness and story of the past movies . worth watching but offers nothing new.

I can't say enough about how I love this franchise . honestly it's my fave vampire franchise of all time(not like they have much going up against) Although I did't see it in 3D I still loved it .It was a thrill ride that i never wanted to end ,with great visual effects and a killer story. A true must watch of 2012. This is how action and vampires movies are suppose to be so please take notes Hollywood.

I have enjoyed all of the Underworld movies, and "Underworld Awakening" moves the series forward with plenty of action, extreme gore and solid special effects. The plot is servicable, but its the intense action the rules the day here. Kate Beckinsale continues to be one of the coolest, toughest and sexiest vampires ever. I saw the movie in IMAX 3D, which greatly enhanced the action sequences and made the trip to the movie theatre well worth my time. Be warned that this is by far the most violent and bloody of the series... which is a good thing for this sort of movie.

'Underworld Awakening' is a dumb, dumb action movie, with very little in terms of plot and story. What's present has almost no connection to the rest of the series before it. The intent here is for this to be the starter of more sequels. That will most likely not be the case. I didn't find anything to enjoy about this super mundane action movie. The only saving grace in this series has been the action. But here the fights are the same uninspired, slo-mo, wirework, CG crap we've seen a million times over. This resembles the terrible 'Resident Evil' franchise. I can't even enjoy it for it's badness, because it's just not entertaining in the slightest. I give 'one star' for a bit of cool bloodshed in the final brawl, and that's it.

Upon watching the beginning of this film, the dark atmosphere, brutal action, and refreshing plot will make you believe that this will be the best Underworld movie yet. Unfortunately, the unique plot quickly devolves into familiar territory. The action is the best yet and the film is undeniably fun, but you'll likely find the inappropriately happy and inconclusive ending disappointing. This movie is certainly better than the first sequel and the prequel but fails to be quite as good as the original. I must recommend to see this one in 3D; the amazing 3D really contributes to this movie's experience. In conclusion, if you enjoyed the First Film, you'll probably enjoy Underworld: Awakening.
