Great action and effects, but mainly for the fans...like me.

Rating: 9/10 (20 January 2012)

The summary says it...this movie is all about the action and effects and pounding sound track...and Kate Beckinsale, not that there's anything wrong with that. However it merely dips its toe into the world of Underworld, and has less actual story than a typical TV episode. I enjoyed it a lot, but if you aren't a fan of the earlier movies you likely won't. If you're not familiar but are intrigued anyway, view the first two movies on home video.
One more thing...I saw this one on IMAX 3D and while the 3D didn't add much, it didn't take away much either...the screen image was bright and clear despite the dark sets.
