Underworld: Awakening Movie Review

1/19/2012

0 Comments

 
Over Christmas, the Blu-ray trio of Underworld movies was on sale for $38.  You got Underworld, Underworld: Evolutions, & Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.  AND...a $20 voucher towards going to see the new Underworld: Awakening" when it came out on January 20th (today).  So I bought the dvd's and Ryan and I watched them recently, excited about the upcoming release of the newest movie.  Tonight we went to see it of course and here's my review:
Picture
1. Characters:  They got all the main actors back from the last movie (although we didn't get to see Michael as much as I had hoped in this movie).  They've added a few new characters that will likely continue into the next movies (you know they left it open for more sequels...).

2. Plot: The plot was set up pretty well at the beginning.  There was a good amount of surprise and they were building up the plot twists.  Unfortunately, they cut the movie very short.  The climax was a bit anti-climatic because just when you thought the action and plot were about to really get incredible, the movie ended and went to the credits.

3. Action/Gore: The movie didn't let fans down on the amount of action but they kept the gore at a tolerable level.  I must say Selene is the most bad ass character ever (excuse my language but there is just no better way to describe her).  I remember seeing all The Matrix movies and thinking how awesome Trinity was...Selene beats Trinity by about a million times over.

4. Special Effects: The movie was in 3d but the 3d effects were just average.  Not great, not horrible, just average.

5. Overall: While the beginning of the movie was promising, I would wait to rent it...don't pay $11 per ticket to see it in the theaters (costs more because of 3d).
