Good but not great

Rating: 7/10 (21 July 2013)

This movie was good but not great.It was pretty much what you would expect.A bad-ass female vampire(Selene),great action and cool effects.Now..there are many new plot elements.The Human race is now aware of the vampire-Lycan existence and hunts them down.This is not just a vampire vs Lycans war.The humans are part of the game.This is a welcome addition but here is the downside.The focus on the story wasn't enough.It felt like an excuse for action.This is not like Underworld.The original movie had a perfect combination of action and story.
In my opinion Underworld Awakening lacks new or familiar faces and characters like Lucian and Viktor.Selene is great but a good movie needs a number of main characters.Who are the vampire leaders-key characters? is there only one?did the rest of them die?Who are the new Lycan leaders?We only learn that they hate vampires(that is obvious,they are Lycans).Lucian had a character development.The new Lycan leaders...not so much.I also found the human role too small.But i have to admit...i liked the twist at the end.
I hope the next movie(if there is one) is going to solve these issues.This one was enjoyable and definitely worth a watch.
