I can only hope that this "movie" which is only 1:22 not including the credits which are almost 10 minutes long with at least three different hairdressers listed in three different locations on the credits roll just for Ms. Beckinsale. Whoa, that's a lot of hair manipulation for someone with a short hair style. I wonder how many "Trinity" had with the change from greased down to short and scruffy? And it's not just that, but it seems that there are literally three entire sets of credits from the Gaffers and Grips to the CGI & FX makeup teams. I was also surprise that Ms. Beckinsale had not one dime of her own money into this project since the franchise has been a successful one.
But now onto the movie itself... WARNING WARNING - SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As I said - I can only hope this is a long teaser for a new cycle of movies with or without Ms. Beckinsale. She is starting to get along in years and playing an immortal character that does not age or get more "mature looking" has got to be considered if the stories are to continue as well if Scott Speedman is no longer going to be the other leading immortal character of Michael Corvinus (sp?)
The story shows Selene getting blown apart from her man Michael by some sort of UV grenade by the mortal police forces in the beginning. We next see her frozen (tastefully not naked although very obviously nude in the container) with very well place fog and other obstacles, escaping with some help from a cyro-freezer after what turns out to be 12 years into a world without Lycans, and very few Vampires. It's told that she (Selene) is labeled Patient #1 as it blares across the warning system. And that she has "some sort of" special connection and link with patient #2. It's announced that both can each see through the eyes of the other. Naturally we the audience thinks it is Michael who is patient #2. But it's actually Selene's 12 year old daughter who is a human-hybrid mostly looking like Michael with the blue/black eyes and nearly black skin color change. She's never been outside, never fed as a Vampire, etc. But she knows she's Mom when she sees her and vice-versa.
Those familiar with the first two movies which of the three are the only ones with Selene in them and time line is from the beginning of movie 1 thru the end of movie 2. One long storyline which I thought worked very well. I'm just trying to keep with Selene/Michael for this is long enough already.
Here are just a few of the many things I have a problem with in this movie...
1) Vampires are "dead" beings, they cannot have children - yet Selene has a child during her 12 years of being captured and frozen.
2) Michael did "die" in the middle of movie 2 but Selene fed him blood that she had after being given the 100% "pure blood" of the first of both sides of the immortal creatures in this storyline "Grandpa" Corvinus himself (such a nice guy for an immortal who did nothing except have more money than can be counted, hire very loyal people to "clean up" Vampire and Lycan "messes", etc. and allowed himself to be killed by his Vampire son.) which gave her enough strength to beat the first Vampire ever who would be the strongest as in this storyline age equals abilities and strength as well as the blood it comes from.
...However, since Michael died, he might have been brought back, but he was brought back in the Vampire way of becoming UNdead. Not alive as he found out when trying to eat solid food which caused him great physical pain - this was shown in the first movie when he was just Lycan. So - how can two dead people produce a child??? This is one BIG problem for me and nothing was even mentioned about it in this movie.
Then we see the Vampires are actually far worse off than the Lycans, because the Lycans kept themselves hidden during the 1st & 2nd "Purge" as the movie calls the human eradication of all Lycans and Vampires. Really?? That must have been one bunch of sissy Vampires with no elders to lead them to be decimated to near extinction by humans. Same for the Lycans or so everyone thought, but nope...the Lycans in the great tradition of Lucian. Sneaky and seemingly much smarter when it comes to staying alive and powerful. Now we have Dinosaur sized Lycan due to years of experimentation by the Lycans who were thought to be humans using the blood of Selene, of daughter and yep - you guessed the ending...Michael. The first Lycan Vampire hybrid which would make him extremely powerful, but the daughter has BOTH original Corvinus blood which makes her immune to Daylight, as well as Silver, and pretty much everything else that would destroy typical Vampires and Werewolves.
So now we have the ultimate undead family of good hearted, but very fierce, Uber-Vampire Selene aka Mom, 1st hybrid Lycan that all other Lycans were supposed to yield to as shown in the ending of the first movie, and the Uber being with everything on the positive side for being powerful with not one single weakness...Mama & Daddy's little girl. And with all that, it's very possible that she is also a triple threat - the daughter I think is mostly plain ole human on top of the duality of being a hybrid Lycan/Vampire. One older doctor Vampire Lady was looking for her original bite marks and couldn't find any. Of course not, she wasn't turned, she was...born??? How exactly did that happen, or is this a test-tube kinda thing?? Again...no idea from this movie.
And all this with no real explanations about most things that had happened in 12 years of Cryo-Sleep (hmmm - "Ripley" was asleep for 57 years), lots of very good FX, some excellent fight scenes and very excellence kill shots and other well done gore FX. Now what?
Yes - all that I typed just to sum up what this movie only put into motion with an ending that certainly screams...NEXT MOVIE COMING UP!! But who, where, what, why, etc., etc. It's all set in the near future, but if Selene's last thoughts were of getting the Vampires back to the top of the food chain and powerful and a collective nation...Doesn't this seem a bit much like Blade 2 or 3 except that the Vampires are the "good guys"?
Did this help or just make everything much more confusing?
While I was worried where the story would go next that proved to be a baseless worry. In this story character development for Selene, no, all the characters on Selene's side gain more dimensionality. We see a side of Selene that is both tender and nurturing. Far away from the vampire warrior we have seen before and as a fan of the franchise that was wonderful to see. Half the time when this happened I was overcome with emotion because hey Kate Beckinsale was putting her acting on display (not that she hasn't before too).
Furthermore, Underworld: Awakening embraced its action horror title way more than the other previous installments. This was made the more clear when toward the end she goes full out and blows up entire building sectors. It gives a nod to how incredible Selene can be and the whole action aspect of the Underworld franchise. Which every Underworld director has owned.
Whether a fan of the Underworld film franchise or not, you, really should give the films a chance. All of them thus far up to Underworld: Awakening have had extraordinary acting, cinematography, and subtle, developed character development and interactions.
Can't wait for the next movie!
On the SteelBook itself. It could be better. I gather the company that shipped it just bought them from Best Buy. Somewhere along the line it obtained some minor imperfections. Not pleased with this. A SteelBook should be durable and I bought it because I am a collector, obviously I paid the extra money to have an awesome looking movie in my collection. Very disappointed at the damage to the case.
The manufacturer of the case should also be ashamed, or whoever selected the quality it was made at. This is the weakest quality of SteelBook I have ever bought. There's no way to tell before you get it, but you assume a certain level of strength and weight to the steel when you invest the extra money.
It's a cool case, but overall disappointed in the quality of the SteelBook itself. I have bought collector's editions for other things that have much better quality, specifically the Collector's editions to both Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3.
Will be wary of buying a SteelBook from Best Buy in the future (I know an Amazon vendor sold it, but it still had the Best Buy stickers on it overtop the plastic wrap, of which I am thankful because I knew it was an exclusive and didn't want to get a knockoff).

I rented this out and really enjoyed it. Selene is back and doing what she does best... Ending anyone who gets in her way! Great action with some brilliant speial effects that really shine on Blu-Ray. Rated 18, it's a lot more gory and bloody then the previous films. A lot! The picture is perfect, very gorgeous, especially for a dark toned film. The surround (7.1 DTS HD Master Audio) sound is fantastic. It must be one of the best I've heard. Sounds popping up all over the room, and very loud ones too. I'm very impressed with both picture and audio! This is easily a reference quality film if you're got the right setup. The disc you put into your player has some nice artwork on it. I'm not a fan of plain discs. Also, I like the main menu. Some films you just get something basic like a picture and the choices below. Here you get nice background music and a bunch of brief scenes from the film playing on a loop. There's a nice bunch of special features included:

The only bad point about this flick is that it's only 1hr 18m (35s) long, and at the time I didn't feel like spending £15 on a new release that's so short. Then at the very start of the film there's a recap of the previous films which goes on for almost 1m 30s (27s) - so really in a way you're only getting about 1hr 17m. Which is why I waited for a price drop. For £5 this is my first bargin of 2013.
