Most Action-Packed Underworld Yet!

Rating: 8/10 (13 June 2013)

The long-due fourth entry in the Underworld franchise brings back the iconic Kate Beckinsale as Selene and because of that, it's the most action-packed Underworld yet. I honestly didn't know what to expect, but we got a whole new myriad of characters and almost non-stop action. There is less character development than previous entries, but we don't really need that for this movie. The CGI has improved from the first film and I liked the looks of the Lycans.
This film is not a prequel like Rise of the Lycans was and it takes place many years after the events of Evolution. After awakening from a deep sleep, she finds out about "The Purge" in which humans wiped out both vampires and lycans. Now Selene must escape from the clutches of humankind and save her species.
It's nice to see Kate Beckinsale back in the role that brought her onto the map. She is aging gracefully and still has the look of Selene. She can still kick butt too. The rest of the actors aren't that famous but I have nothing to complain about them.
Overall, this is a solid, action-packed addition to the Underworld franchise. This film is a change of direction compared to the previous films, but fans like myself should welcome it. I do hope they make a fifth film with Beckinsale back. I rate this film 8/10.
