UNDERWORLD: Awakening




       Before you descide to indescriminatly love or hate this film, realize that it's not your run of the mill vampire movie.
Underworld is a movie series that tries to bring a more practical approach to modern day vampires and werewolves. Awakening is
the fourth movie in the series but the third filmed around main protagonist Selene.In previous films Selene (kate beckinsale) reveals a deep
conspiracy about the origions of her coven. betrayed by her former family she begins to destroy the leadership in the coven by killing the "elders".
The questions arouse when her people are attacked by a pack of Lycons (werewolves). The Lycon armed with uv ballistics and their counterpart
vampires with silver bullets.

I would recommend seeing all 3 of the other films first because the story is very plot heavy. The movie series explains the vampire and werewolf
curse as a virus. Those infected with the virus gain immortatlity, super human strength, and wolverine like healing abilities. In this movie Selene wakes up from a 12 year sleep
in a lab confused and disarrayed she kills everyone in the lab and exscapes. Selene does not reconize this world in which the humans are hunting the vampires and werewolves.
The secret is out and she is forced on a quest save her family and tackle down the lycon conspiracy.

The movie features some unrealistic action stunts but overall keeps you thrilled by the intense carnage. I love this entire series and Awakening has certainly lived up to my
Expectations. Underworld has an amazing track record for being dark, fast paced, action-packed movies and thats why i beleive Underworld: Awakening is a must see.

Bryan,

You did write a review of sorts rather than answering the assignment. Do you want to take another stab at it before I record points?
