Anyone who wasn't impressed with earlier Underworld films likely won’t find much to enjoy here either. Like most entries in this style of movie, it’s best experienced by turning off critical thinking and just letting the show play out. The film isn’t a masterpiece when you consider its story or writing; in fact, the script is occasionally quite poor. There's one scene, for instance, where the Lycans attack the vam…

The series was relevant during the height of Matrix mania, but continuing it now feels like an unnecessary burden, risking it devolving into something as muddled and unfocused as the Resident Evil films.

Those who enjoyed _Awakening_ will likely find something to appreciate here, as they are fundamentally very similar films. Personally, I didn’t enjoy either one. Final rating: ★★ - There were elements that resonated with me, but the final result was disappointing.
