Reviews
Village Voice - The entire production is single-mindedly, earnestly devoted to serving up feats of BADASS, and it succeeds in this devotion., Entertainment Weekly - Why are they fighting again? Never you mind. Just sit tight till the next action sequence (it won't be long), and get ready to laugh - with equal parts scorn and fanboy joy - as Beckinsale strikes another Rodinesque pose under a slo-mo shower of inhuman innards., Variety - Once again, Beckinsale brings an impressive physicality and subzero cool to her portrayal of Selene.
Consumer Advice
Contains strong bloody violence and horror

This will be a short review, Underworld Awakening is a poor relation to the other underworld offerings. This one lacks the good plots of the others and will be moved on very quickely.
