areaseven Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) Kate Beckinsale returns as Selene in Underworld: Awakening - the direct sequel to Underworld: Evolution (Underworld: Rise of the Lycans was the prequel to the first two films). And to no surprise, it will be in 3D when it hits theaters on January 20, 2012. Official Site Edited July 15, 2014 by areaseven Quote
Mog Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 "WE CAN BE SLAVES, OR WE CAN BE LYCANS!!!!!!!" Sorry, saw that stupid trailer far too many times. Quote
myk Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 I'll watch this for Kate because she's so beautiful I'd drink her bathwater... Quote
EXO Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 I'll watch this for Kate because she's so beautiful I'd drink her bathwater... I really wonder if guys would really do it if given the chance... I couldn't. Sorry Kate Upton... I tried. Quote
Dynaman Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 I'll watch this for Kate because she's so beautiful I'd drink her bathwater... Ditto, movies are utter crap, but even jaded old me can watch Kate in anything Quote
Dynaman Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Saw this yesterday (2D version). Decent film for an action flick, best one I've seen in the past 12 months. The plot holds up well (no plot holes screaming at me, unlike the last Batman movie), action from start to finish (which usually bothers me, but not in this case), and Kate Beckinsale in leather for the whole film, what more can anyone ask? It was a popcorn action flick, but it was a fun ride. The young guys in theater also loved it, but they thought it was too short. (I didn't ask them, but they were very loudly proclaiming it was great during the obligatory after movie potty break) Quote
areaseven Posted January 22, 2012 Author Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) "Dogshit" "D-" "2.4 out of 5 Schmoes" Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 27% - "There's more vapid action and less story in Underworld: Awakening than previous installments, making the whole affair feel inconsequential." Metacritic Score: 39 out of 100 Edited September 8, 2016 by areaseven Quote
David Hingtgen Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 I was going to, but it seems to be 3D-only. I hate 3D more and more these days. I'll rent it in 2D. PS--hear that Hollywood? I refuse to see your new-release movie solely because it's in 3D. Quote
BeyondTheGrave Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 So who in here saw this movie? I'm surprised you haven't yet. Quote
Einherjar Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) The male lead from the previous movies is dead, isn't he? Edited January 22, 2012 by Einherjar Quote
eugimon Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Scott speedman is not dead and has said he would not reprise the Michael role but some other interview with a producer or somebody said that the idea is to bring Scott back for underworld 5. So who knows. Quote
myk Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Based on my previous comment I think I'd be more inclined to drink Kate's bathwater than to actually see the movie. I dunno... Quote

It is out in 2D as well, looks good that way. I don't remember any "coming at ya!" moments, must have been there. Other films had tons of them (Puss in Boots comes to mind), so either I was too busy noticing the leather or this movie had less of them. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Saw this Friday. Eh. Never saw the first 3, good popcorn movie. Quote
reddsun1 Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) Big ol' meh. Have to ask: is it really worth the inflated ticket price, just to see Beckinsale for a few scant seconds in that black-tightie outfit on all fours in that A/C duct scene? Really, wolves don't need so much CGI chicanery... Running into one of these buggers is a rather imposing thought, no Hollywood effects needed. Kinda why my interest is piqued by that other wolf movie with Liam Neeson--although that one too seems to suffer from an overabundance of computerized anthropomorphization. We [Americans] in general can be rather insulated in our existences and outlooks on the world around us. The prospect of facing these beasts should be more than frightening, when you think about it; i.e. the accounts and reputation for wolves' relentless, machine-like determination. These mother fu**ers will kill you for food. These mother fu**ers will kill you for fun. And they will not stop. Until they kill you, or you kill them. As for me: Tonight, I will drink to Ben Cochrum... April, 1922 - Ontario. Fisher river on Lake Winnipeg. The victim's bones were found on April 17 among the remains of 11 wolves. Seven had been shot and four clubbed to death. Only when his rifle stock smashed did the trapper cease to fight and succumb to the wolf pack.[47] Edited January 24, 2012 by reddsun1 Quote

Will check around again. ::edit:: Nope, not driving 50 miles. Quote
PetarB Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 redsun, I have to agree with you. Seeing these guys in wild is a very frightening experience, I can tell you. During the late 1700s, France was beseiged by wolves - some in particular , the Beast of Gevaudan, are well known. I'm looking forward to seeing The Grey. As for Underworld, I quite enjoyed the first movie, although cringed at some of the poorly shot action. The others weren't so great, but I will probably see this. Quote
