Underworld: Awakening

Rating: 9/10 (8 February 2012)

I was skeptical at first. The critics reviews were low; the patron, the movie-goer, high. I'm no critic by trade so I went. Ninety minutes later, I was a fan-boy. Excellent film. The movie was crammed and brimmed with action. I was entertained from beginning to end. Kate Beckingsale played a great part as Selene. Sleek and intense, she wore her catsuit well. Besides, what else would a death-dealing , automatic gun-toting vampire wear? The action scenes between the Vampires and the Lychans were brilliant-- and brutal. Selene's daughter Eve, added to the Gothic carnage. From her striking metamorphosis to violent rages, she add nicely to the story line. Some critics mentioned the weak plot and story. I disagree. The plot was fine--and it's Vampires versus Lychans, how deep of a story do you want? Go see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo if you want a spiderweb of a story.
I'm reordering my Netflix queue to include the previous movies in the series. With no football this weekend I can get nestled and watch more Kate...I mean Selene. Whatever. Just wear the catsuit.
