Another Great Installment in an Awesome Series - **Contains Spoilers**

Rating: 10/10 (29 July 2012)

Awakening is an action film through and through. Even though this film pretty much picks up were Underworld Evolution left off, it is distinctly its own film. After reading all of the negative reviews, I expected to be disappointed in this film, but I was pleasantly surprised, not only to find a movie that was a solid continuation of the series, but still maintained its own personality.
Selene's, the Death Dealer awakes after 12 years to find out she is now a mommy. She wields her protective motherly instinct to paint a fast action canvas with crimson excellence. The writers and directors were not afraid to take this film to the next level. The giant Lycan was a nice touch and a great twist on the Vampire's old foe.
The night scenery did a good job setting the film's mood. The special effects were top notch and like the rest of the series, the surround sound will shake your walls. Turn it up!
My only complaint is the short 88 minutes run time...this movie goes by too fast! Otherwise, great job on an excellent film. I give this film a 10, because it is what it is, a great, action, horror, fantasy flick. That is what I paid to the see, not The Godfather.
