Underworld: Awakening Trailer

I honestly thought the second one was the best of the franchise and the prequel was just passable since we already knew the whole damn story, and this trailer gives me the feeling they'll phone this one in. When I originally read the synopsis for it I was intrigued by the idea of humans taking on the vampires and werewolves on a large scale but I have the sense that they were trying to keep the budget as small as possible.

See, now I have some big questions.
After the first two movies, we had a vampire/lycan hybrid who was supposedly very powerful. And we had a vampire/immortal hybrid with Selene herself, who we were led to believe was supposed to be rather powerful.

During the whole of the trailer, we only see Selene, not the other dude (Michael?) And we see her screaming 'Where's Michael?' So....where is he?

I can probably suspend my disbelief enough to watch this, but there look to be some major plot holes, and I just hate those.
Probably a renter for me.

Yeah, wasn't Selene a daywalker at the end of Evolution? And I suspect the reason Michael's missing is because they couldn't get the actor to return. >.>

Knew humans would get involves somehow. You cannot have a war in a train station and not get some attention.

It would seem likely that is the whole "real" reason for this plot development in the franchise..Like Scott had "better" things to do with all those flops he has starred in since UnderWorld 2! XD It's pretty depressing really since I found his character to be the only interesting one ability wise in the films.

I will still watch it though, because Kate is still sexy as hell in that outfit.

I've only watched these films with something close to mild amusement, when sick too. I was excited about he first, but it was just handled so poorly.

The idea of werewolves vs. vampires couldn've been awesome. But then, in the first film we have the vamps fighting the wolves by...standing still and shooting. The battle choreography could have been amazing with vamps hanging from ceilings, clinging to walls, leaping about to get the best vantage point to fire from. Then the wolves could be leaping about, pulling them down, it should have been a glorious arial ballet of gunfire, claws, and bloodsed. So much potential wasted...

This will be a rental, or a $2 theater for me, for the same reason stated above.

I'm wondering if that werewolf she goes up against is Michael.

Maybe he's lost it?

gzonna see it! The prequal didn't look enjoyable at all, but I loved 1 & 2, so I'm going to it!

Not to mention that they have yet to discover that there are other colors beyond blue and black.

Resident Evil Afterlife:

Budget - 60million
Box Office - 296.2million

That's why the can keep on making RE movies And I can't wait for the next one! Haven't been let down by them yet.

Now Underworld 2 had a budget of 50million and a Box Office of over 111million. Is that blockbuster? No. Is that profit? Yes!

The Prequal has a budget of 35million and a Box Office of over 91million.

When you can make movies for that much and get that much return for them, it would be silly not to make more. Especially since you figure the DVD sales brings in even more money.

Who the hell keeps watching these horrible, horrible movies?!?!
*cough*

Well, I bet the addition of '3d' to the movie franchise was a bit of a boost.... especially how fresh Avatar was in everyone's minds at the time. And for the record.... I hate the 3D gimmick and have yet to see it used anywhere near what Avatar did.

I dunno... looks ok. I'll probably see it.

I had to listen to what she says at the 1:15 mark about 5 times... I kept hearing "Beau Bridges is more powerful than any of us!"

Darn you Lothy, using my lecherous nature to prove a point! ... Good point though as I am more then sure Kate's catsuit sexy is the real reason the franchise is still going.

I was thinking the same thing about Michael.

They might go that route if only to disguise the fact that the actor didn't return, but I think it's just a generic werewolf.

I think they'd go with something a little different than what we've seen before. I felt Marcus was a legitimate threat in the sequel and he was shown to be capable of completely owning Michael, so let's see what they come up with next.

I agree about Michael, I mean just from a visual standpoint I thought Michael was better executed, Marcus always looked overdesigned.

New movie looks interesting though, the first two were ok, the third bored me. We'll see.
