Underworld: Awakening

When human scientists discover the existence of vampires and Lycans, Selene awakens after a decade in a cryogenic pod to find herself in a world where humans have declared war on both immortal species. She must fight to survive and protect the human-Selene hybrid daughter she never knew existed from the powerful new threats that emerge.

Underworld: Awakening received generally negative reviews from critics, with many citing a weak plot and uninspired action. However, it found a more receptive audience among fans of the franchise, who appreciated the return of Kate Beckinsale and the continuation of the established mythology.

• The film suffers from a convoluted plot and relies heavily on its visual effects over substance.

• Kate Beckinsale's return as Selene is a highlight, but not enough to elevate the narrative.

• While visually competent, the action sequences are often repetitive and lack genuine tension.

Google audience: Google users generally found the film to be an entertaining, albeit predictable, addition to the Underworld series. Many enjoyed the action and Kate Beckinsale's performance, but some felt the story was derivative and lacked originality.

The film was shot entirely in 3D, making it the first film in the Underworld series to be presented in the format.
