Trailer Talk: Underworld Awakening

There is a moment in the trailer when a pouty leather clad Kate Beckinsale says “This day had to come.”  There are three things she could be talking about.

1.Was she talking about another sequel?

2. The Underworld series finally broke the World Record for most spins, flips, back flips, somersaults and cartwheels

3. Humans find out about the war between Lycans and Vampires and attempt to wipe them all out while Nu-Metal plays in the background.

These movies are not good. Vampires pout, werewolves growl and bullets fly in slow motion.  However, I’ve watched them all and I will watch this one. They are kind of like the Resident Evil films but better.

The trailer also elicited some unintentional laughs. An angry vampire says “We must stand and fight.” In my head I envisioned the vampires sitting down and fighting. I’ve watched a lot of fight scenes and the only time I’ve witnessed successful chair fighting is when it is Tom Cruise (MI:3) or Jason Statham (Killer Elite, Transporter).

This movie will make a lot of money. More cows will die due to leather outfits and Kate Beckinsale will find new ways to pout whilst holding a gun and flipping.
