Screenwriter Needs Awakening.

Rating: 3/10 (29 April 2015)

Underworld: Awakening (2012): Dir: Mans Marlind, Bjorn Stein / Cast: Kate Beckinsale, Stephen Rea, Michael Ealy, India Eisley, Theo James: Awakening is exactly what I needed to do as dosing off became an aided friend during this visually well made mess. It regards the awareness of vampires and werewolves, but to viewers it is the awareness of money wasted on crap entertainment such as this fourth entry junk. Kate Beckinsale once again stars as this fanged bitch who has been captured and frozen. When she thaws out and escapes, she learns that it is several years later, and that she has a daughter. This is all about as much fun as having a grey wolf chew on your crotch while vampire bats flight in to suck the blood out of you worse than this idiotic film does your wallet. While the film is technically well made and directed, it is still just another opportunity to drool over Beckinsale in a black skin tight outfit that highlights her curves. Stephen Rea plays the standard mad scientist and his son transforms into a monstrous werewolf that bats Beckinsale about like a child's stuffed toy. Michael Ealy plays a detective who ends up helping Beckinsale so that she can share the blame for this film's dumb ass delivery. India Eisley as Beckinsale's daughter has her moments as the fearsome daughter but often she is as threatening as Simba in The Lion King. Theo James appears as a vampire ally to Beckinsale but who cares about this opposites attract crap here. The only ones who need awakening are the folks who keep churning out this junk as oppose to concentrate on more unique ideas. Score: 3 / 10
