An unholy desecration of a true favourite.

Rating: 2/10 (15 July 2012)

I gave this recent addition to the Underworld series a couple of points purely because it has extended the story line for me somewhat, and I got to see a couple of the characters again for a few moments. It really doesn't deserve much more.
The CGI, was Ghost-buster level at best... with extremely fake looking werewolves, blurring across the screen in hairless digital plastic-ness.
The story line went no where, was obvious from the very start, and jumped from moment to moment with no subplots or clever twists. The vampires were pitiful creatures, which I get is due to the plot, but they were awfully pretty and plain looking, not Vampire style at all. With the movie sprinting past any real plot, there were no close ups of context, ie: other characters clothing, conditions they were living in, reactions to events unfolding. But it was obvious no money had been spent on this, attention to detail was nonexistent. The humans that they were supposed to be fighting, were all carbon copy guardsmen or NCSI style policemen.
I have to ask the obvious question, did all the money go towards making it 3D? Because truly it wasn't worth it.
I was an avid fan of the previous films and just feel like pretending this one didn't happen.
I mean I swear at one point they were using an ice machine!
