Underworld: Awakening Reviews

Movie Reviews

• the plot was a little disappointing. There wasn't really much of a story, or it wasn't executed very well

  by Adrian Foong [Venusbuzz.com ]

• the film's handful of confusingly blocked, excessively noisy, and common-sense-deprived set pieces, not a single image can be described as inspired

  by Rob Humanick [Slant Magazine ]

• the digital effects this time around are far better than what we've experienced previously in the series

  by Thehorrorchick [Dread Central ]

• the action sequences, while abundant, are nothing more than decent

  by Jim Vejvoda [IGN Movies ]

• the action is defined by whirligig balletics and ample gushes of violence

  by Nick Pinkerton [Village Voice ]

• that boredom extends outward to encompass the entire film

  by Rob Vaux [Mania.com ]

• so drab and dour that whatever junky charm they might have possessed is slowly

  by Peter Sobczynski [eFilmCritic.com ]

• no unanswered puzzles in the plot make it an easy watch

  by Renuka Vyavahare [The Times of India ]

• more aggressively violent and thankfully less mythology-driven than previous installments

  by Frank Scheck [Hollywood Reporter ]

• merely a would-be videogame adventure on the big screen, with 3-D added to boost ticket prices and make the murky, dark scenes seem even more muddy

  by Joe Neumaier [New York Daily News ]

• it's big, loud and not especially clever

  by Daniel Bettridge [Sky Movies ]

• "Underworld Awakening" is one of the best

  by Richard Corliss [TIME Magazine ]
