Review of Underworld: Awakening (2012) by Ty92 — 27 Feb 2022

I'm reviewing the 3D version of this movie. I watched it on my PlayStation VR. The 3D is really well done overall. Something to note is that you get four 3D movie previews before this movie actually starts.

One of them is The Amazing Spider-Man 3D. And the preview screen before the movie actually starts is probably the best I've seen. The 3D is absolutely incredible here. Early on in the movie you get some demo worthy 3D.

Some of this is used in that preview screen I was talking about. Early on in the movie there is a scene where Selene and her boyfriend are separated under water. Right after this there is an incredible 3D transition that I've never seen before in any other movie.

They do this kind of spinning or rotating transition. It actually kind of makes you spin and I think it's meant to disorient you because the characters were disoriented. I think this is an incredible use of 3D.

Filmmakers everywhere should take note as this. These 3D transitions can have a huge psychological effect on the viewer. It's a way to make people watching somewhat relate to the characters in the movie making them feel how the characters feel.

That's absolutely incredible. The movie itself is good if you're a fan of these movies. I actually like the next movie better blood Wars. But I haven't watched that one in 3D. Is this a perfect movie? No it's definitely not a perfect movie but it's good.

It comes down to if you like Underworld movies. If you like them and you like 3D this is a must own. And again with all the 3D movie trailers before the movie actually starts this is a 100% I must own 3D Blu-ray.

I'm giving it a 9 out of 10 because of the 3D aspect to it. There is literally moments in this that are 10 out of 10 when it comes to 3D. The story is probably a 7 out of 10. I mean if you're not someone that likes these Underworld movies you would probably give it a lower rating.

But this movie is badass. It's actually pretty dark and gruesome. Kate Beckinsale always looks good but she's also a badass in these movies.
