Underworld Awakening

Pitiless, puerile, pointless and perfunctory - and those are just the "P's"

Once again, Beckinsale brings an impressive physicality and subzero cool to her portrayal of Selene.

Kate Beckinsale's "Selene" remains one-note, but it's a wildly entertaining note.

The combat quotient, to the movie's credit, is way up, with narrative folderol kept to a minimum.

Tom Russo / Boston Globe

The most generic entry of the bunch.

There's not much to this movie beyond a slick procession of dark, gleaming violence.

Glenn Whipp / Los Angeles Times

A brisk creature-feature that ditches the series' dreary mythology in favor of a more direct, action-oriented approach.

Peter Howell / Toronto Star

Beckinsale's Selene is back with a vengeance, that famous black catsuit and two fully cocked pistols, having wisely sat out the wretched third installment of the franchise. Don't expect much more than this.

The entire production is single-mindedly, earnestly devoted to serving up feats of BADASS, and it succeeds in this devotion to the exclusion of everything else.

[The] latest, dreadful entry in the vampires-battling-werewolves franchise.

Of all the movies whose makers designate them as crap by not screening them in advance for critics, forcing me to go to a multiplex in vampire hours and write a review in a sour overnight stupor, Underworld Awakening is one of the best.

More aggressively violent and thankfully less mythology-driven than previous installments, Underworld: Awakening is strictly for the converted.
