And closing as far as the box goes with his four films, Underworld Awakening, and Beckinsale is back. That can never be wrong.

To mention the words "plot" or "story" in one sentence with this film is actually too much honor. However, the film starts with a kind of purge, something that is quickly pushed aside to continue with a crazy doctor and a kind of takeover and a new generation hybrid as the bet. It all matters little because this film is about two things; violence and bloodshed. And that's what you get with this picture.

And it must be said that in itself there are nice phases of beautiful action with a better editing than in the previous parts. On the other hand, there are nonsensical moments of violence and we see something that the previous parts didn't have; namely Gore. It's noticeable from the start that even Selena isn't afraid to throw people off buildings in the blink of an eye and cut their throats. In that sense a next level of explicit violence, not something that normally bothers me, but it's not something that seems to belong in Underworld.

And so this Underworld is again a competition. Beckinsale nice, character brings nothing else. Action spectacular, but also several times over the top. CGI better than ever, but also several misses. Great kills, but also an excess of Gore. Smooth, but no story at all. It is therefore a plus that the film is not too long and I especially wonder afterwards; what did i just see? What was it about again?

Underworld number 4 doesn't do much for me, is partly due to the genre, and is without a doubt the least of the series.
