Just got home from watching Underworld Awakening (aka "Underworld 4") on the big screen and cannot stop grinning ear-to-ear, after the fact. This movie has everything: girl power, action-packed werewolf on vampire action, lots of blood and guts splattered in with incredible suspense and medical science gone wrong. There's even a really strong LOVE theme to appeal to one's more genteel side (in case you happen to have one).

In short? I vote this movie a "must see" for urban horror fans and expect to buy it once the flick is available on DVD. (I'm very VERY happy with it - think it's one of the best Underworld films yet.)

Here's the quick run-down on the movie - and I'm making this ridiculously short and sweet because saying anything more than what I offer here would spoil the plot.

Basically? Human forces discovered the existence of the Vampire and Lycan clans and have launched a successful war to eradicate both species of undead. That's when Vampire Warrioress Selene (actor Kate Beckinsale) in her famous shiny "death dealer" black cat suit makes a heroic attempt to escape the big city with her lycan lover.

Meanwhile? This great purging of all immortals comes at huge costs for the couple and there are daunting medical surprises in store after they are attacked with specialized weapons. For one thing? Selene finds herself frozen inside a medical capsule and someone helps her escape - but it's 12 years later and she's desperate to find her lover, only to be told he's dead.

That's it. That's all I can say without ruining the film but believe me it all works out in the end. Here's the official trailer for your viewing pleasure. *I hope you go see it and leave a comment here after the fact.*
