Underworld: Awakening by Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein, 2012 (R)
with Kate Beckinsale, Stephen Rea, Michael Ealy, Theo James, India Eisley, Charles Dance
When human forces discover the existence of the Vampire and Lycan clans, a war to eradicate both species commences. The vampire warrioress Selene leads the battle against humankind.
Or whatever. IT is the worse movie I have seen this year. Or these past years. I saw it in 3D. Which probably made it more interesting. But anyhow, the movie was with very little story, not coherent, with twist and turns that are motivated by how much special effect you can put on it to make it impressive visually. And it is visually beautiful, combats are impressive, violence is effective, 3D was surprising, but I switched my brain of and ate all this with some sort of numbness. The beginning of the story makes you believe there is actually something sophisticated about the genetic research they engaged with the destruction of vampires, but this story falls flat and again, it is about a battle between human, werewolves and vampires. Go watch Daybreakers instead.
