Repetitive script for a very badly done mass up of FX. In addition, the cut of the movie is not properly done with scenes that seems to be unrelated one after another. They should have left it after the first, good movie.

I dreamt of the day we would meet. Like a silly little girl. You're as cold as one already dead. Popcorn bonanza as the Underworld series passes by in a whirl of effects driven action. Kate Beckinsale returns as super sexy - latex wearing - vampire Selene, after having skipped the third movie, here added into the mix is that Selene is searching for her hybrid daughter, while the pesky humans are intent on wiping out all vampires and lycans. Cue carnage. The story is very slight, the script equally so, where pretty much all roads lead to another action scene. So Selene leaps about a lot amongst blood, brains and beasties, the later of which fronted by a new giganticus hulkus werewolf. No actor in the film is asked to stretch their acting chops, but for fans of the series and action junkies in general, this is undeniably a good fun movie. 6/10

69/100 4th film in the timeline, Selene & Michael's peace, after killing the elders, is short-lived as humans discover the vampires and lycans. After begin captured and put on ice for 12 years, Selene wakes up to find their races have been purged nearly to extinction ...and she has a daughter. With, I'm assuming, a smaller budget, the CGI is pretty blatant in this one but the story's solid (even if it's just an excuse for some excellent action sequences), the characters are fun and engaging, and there's still a whole lot of imagination going on here. Good fun. -- DrNostromo.com
