Just got back from this one.
It was fucking atrocious.
>Poor acting (and shitty casting in the first place)
>shitty CGI
>basic nothing story
>riddled with cliches
>Retarded editing
I will say that there were a few cool concepts and elements, but they're handled so poorly it's hard to enjoy them.
Probably a 1/10, maybe a 2/10 if I'm being generous.
Anyone else seen it? What did you think? Also happy to answer any questions.
i have a question why would you pay money to see this shit?
I didn't, I get free tickets to write reviews. I don't get paid but I also don't have to pay.
Since when this franchise had a good movie? It looks like the hidden personality of Paul Wes Anderson wanted more money back in 2000 and decided to run another franchise with special effects. I hate it how it looks like this movie just came on theaters to compete with Resident Evil movies.
Yea questions..what the fuck happens in the movie dipshit? Clearly nobody else has seen it since there hasn't been a thread like this. How about stop playing coy and spit it out.
Where is micheal? Where is their daughter? What is this suddenly out of nowhere white hair civen? Explain them? How does it end? Talk about the actual problems. Plot wholes? Basically what the hell is going on. Hurry and spoil the shit
Worthless thread
>I get free tickets to write reviews.
Great work lad, going your the sterling nature of your opening post I bet you're an adornment to your profession
>Where is micheal?
Dead. He's killed off-screen and we witness part of his murder in a flashback. He dies on his back, played by a new actor, screaming for mercy. Not kidding.
>Where is their daughter?
Missing. Even the main chick doesn't know her location. This is a main plot point that gets thrown in the garbage around 2/3 of the way through the film.
>What is this suddenly out of nowhere white hair civen? Explain them?
There's a special group of Snow vampires hiding up North with white hair. They take a drug to basically kill themselves and then go "somewhere else", then when they wake up they have super-speed.
>How does it end? Talk about the actual problems. Plot wholes? Basically what the hell is going on. Hurry and spoil the shit
It ends with the main chick ripping out the spine of the main werewolf bad guy, and the rest of the werewolves running away. then one of the white-haired vamps, the main chick and her new Michael lookalike become the three new vampire elders. Then her daughter comes back and the movie ends.
The only plot hole is Michael is butchered in front of the tank where he was frozen last film, but at the end of last film the main chick finds his tank shattered and the room empty.

I mean, there's a bit of a difference in writing a 50-word post and a 500-word review.
Stfu, faggot.
Underworld: Blood Wars is the culmination of mankind's compulsive desire to create true art.
Fuck, it's out?! Shit, that one slipped by me. Guess I know what I'm doing tonight or tomorrow. Vampire flicks are hobby of mine, and Underworld a guilty pleasure.
>Beckinsale in a tight outfit.
>All this salt.
Are you fucking gay or something?
>Stfu, faggot.
>Underworld: Blood Wars is the culmination of mankind's compulsive desire to create true art.
>basic nothing story
Isn't that basically for the best? The plot went to shit about two thirds of the way through the first film, was pretty decent in Rise of the Lycans, and then went promptly back to shit. This franchise is at it's best when it's mindless urban fantasy/horror. Gothic scenery porn with daylight bullets.
Okay so basically the werewolves are all being led by a dude called Marius, and the vamps by a council including a chick named Samirah (spelling?).
The vamps are afraid of Marius so they ask Beckinsale to come and help them in return for pardoning her of all her crimes. Marius needs the blood of Beckinsale's daughter so his men can be strong enough to attack the vamps at their stronghold.
Once Beckinsale gets there, Samirah murders all of the vamps Beckinsale was supposed to be training and frames her for the murder.
Beckinsale goes North to the only vampires left alive who aren't part of the "Eastern coven" and is tracked there by the werewolves.
There's a big fight and then the werewolves leave to go attack the Eastern coven without Beckinsale's daughter's blood for literally no reason. They just flat-out give up and say "welp time to attack", even though they don't have the blood.
There's a big fight at the stronghold, then Beckinsale kills Marius and her pal kills Samirah. The two of them and one of the North vamps are then made the new three elders, after which Beckinsale inexplicably goes and sits in the ice where the North vamps were, and her daughter walks up. Credits.
Other big spoilers posted here She's wearing a heavy cloak for much of it and the scenes where she takes it off to fight are so poorly and quickly edited that you can't appreciate anything anyway.
I actually liked the plot of the first one, with the Lucian/vampiredaughterchick backstory weaved throughout it and the idea of the hybrid, blood purity themes, etc.
Granted, that was in 2004, and I was twelve... besides, the "gothic scenery porn" in this one is shitty CGI over lazy choreography and chopshop editing.
I'm just being snotty and shitty really. I do like Underworld, but I prefer to aboid hybrid bullshit, and it ended up dominating the end of the film, and most of the second. The third and fourth were mostly about vampires/werewolves and vampires with guns respectively.
I must not have been alone, as it looks like not following up on the Micheal storyline after 2 was a decision made a while back, and we've only just seen the culmination.
Poor Seline though. She has had a shitty afterlife thus far.
Kate boytoy thread?
Well I mean apparently the first 600 of her 625 years went pretty well...
t-tell me more
Kinda? I mean, in hindsight she was the replacement to the true daughter of her sociopath vampire dad, and has known little but killing for most of that span.
the fact that they scrapped michael story line for no reason, even tho i he was not main char, with the awakening totally ruined the franchise for many people, myself included
everyone i've talked to about these movies liked michael.
why'd he get cut?
Actor didn't want to do them anymore. He's replaced by a new guy for this one for one scene.
Slightly bull.
The director kinda said they wanted the franchise to focus on Selene only with her kid relationship, and not on him at all, some gibberish like that. #femenism lul
The actor said he enjoyed the physicality of the role and the action, cause he usually plays nice guys in drama movies or some shit.
Sure, but that doesn't explain why he was recast. He was recast because he didn't want to come back.
I mean who would come back for a single scene that lasts 5 seconds and u cant even see him in the fridge?
Why bother moment, and u can just hire random dude which i think happened. Pretty sure they were too lazy to ask him for such minor hassle.
What's the chick's name from 10 Thing I Hate About You who was in the Bourne films and showed up for five minutes only to die in the new one? Her.
Also, he appears in this film thawed out. See
Worth it for the latex suit or nah?
Not really.
the minute you gotta start replacing actors and creating "muh son/daughter" stories and creating larger versions of enemies is the minute you know the franchise has gone a shit.
Why is this shit still fucking made for the big screen?! Direct to Syfy or DVD or nothing.
How do studios make out on this? Are they always losing money?
this
All that'd really be costing them money is Beckinsale and the CGI, and they even skimped on the CGI this time round.
Actually, it probably didn't cost them too much to put Beckinsale in this time around either, haven't seen her in many other films lately.
Waste whole first movie to big up micheal as the first hybrid then kill him? Was it spite? The director hate speedman or something? Stupid. Who kills micheal?
Marius, the new leader of the werewolves.
How does he beat a hybrid in the slightest?
So now they introduced supernatural elements with these white hair fucks basically porting around? As ludicrous as the franchise is...it always had a realm in science explaining the turn. At least the first movie. Like a disease or virus. They running out ideas and saying fuck lore eh? Christ
the reason i am hoping this would be the final one but it isnt.
Michael is thawed out, then all we see is a flashback of him looking up at the camera and screaming, begging for mercy as Marius butchers him with a machete or cleaver or some kind. Then we see him strung upside down with his throat slit, slaughterd animal style, with his blood dripping into a bucket.
The most powerful entity on Earth (with the possible exception of his and Beckinsale's daughter) and he's killed with a simple weapon by a basic werewolf, off-screen, while begging for his life.
It is fucking retarded.
Jesus christ this is so freaking bad, what a bunch of morons
first half of awakening wasn't even bad, why is this happening?
they ran outta storylines, not that they had much of one to begin with.
Literally who gives a shit about the plot? I only care about one thing. Did Kate get enough screentime and how tight was her suit?
>Literally who gives a shit about the plot?
I do.
>Did Kate get enough screentime
Yes
>How tight was her suit?
Relatively, but she's generally either in a cloak or in a fast-paced action sequence with editing all over the place.
Can't have one good vamp/doggo movie these days.
Lel, what a fucking mess.
I love the first 3, but fuck this shit.
You're doing God's work, user.
