Underworld: Awakening 4K ReviewAs this film opens we learn that humanity as discovered the existence of the two non-human species, vampires and lycans, and set about eliminating both. Selene, the vampire Death Dealer, and Michael, the vampire/lycan hybrid and cryogenically frozen. Twelve years later Selene escapes and is united with a girl named Eve who turns out to be her daughter. She is wanted by individuals who believes that she holds the key to their research. The action that follows will see Selene return to the lab where she had been frozen and confront numerous super-lycans to save her daughter.
After missing the third film, which was a prequel, this film sees a welcome return of Kate Beckinsale as Selene; she does a fine job in the roll providing quality action scenes... as well as looking great in her tight fitting costume! The Story is solid enough; it provides some good twists and lots of thrilling action. Stephen Rea and Charles Dance add a touch of class as the Dr Jacob Lane, the films main antagonist, and a vampire elder respectively. I also liked Michael Ealy's performance as Detective Sebastian, a policeman who helps Selene, and India Eisley is solid as Eve. On the down side the CGI isn't the best and the way guns seem to be able to rapid fire a near infinite amount of ammunition without reloading is too silly. Overall I certainly wouldn't call this a great film but it is definitely worth watching if you enjoyed previous Underworld films.
