Underworld Awakening is a 2012 action-packed movie that follows the story of Selene (Kate Beckinsale), a vampire who has been in a state of suspended animation for 12 years. The world she awakens to is vastly different from the one she left behind. Humans have become aware of the existence of vampires and werewolves and have waged an all-out war against them. Selene finds herself hunted by both humans and the Lycans (werewolves) she has sworn to destroy.

The movie picks up where Underworld: Evolution left off, with Selene being captured by humans and kept in cryogenic suspension. Twelve years later, she wakes up in a laboratory, disoriented and confused. She soon discovers that she now has a 14-year-old daughter, Eve (India Eisley), a hybrid of vampire and Lycan. Together, mother and daughter embark on a mission to find out what happened to the rest of the vampire clan and to take down the humans and Lycans who have been hunting them.

Selene's journey takes her through a dark and desolate world, where she is pursued by both human and Lycan forces. She is aided by Detective Sebastian (Michael Ealy), a human who sympathizes with the plight of the vampires and who helps Selene and Eve escape the clutches of their enemies.

As Selene and Eve make their way through the city, they encounter various other vampires and Lycans, some of whom are allies, and some of whom are enemies. They discover that the humans have been experimenting on vampires and Lycans in an attempt to create a hybrid species that is immune to sunlight, silver, and other traditional weaknesses.

The action sequences in the movie are intense and well-choreographed, with Selene unleashing her skills as a skilled fighter and markswoman to take on her enemies. There are plenty of gunfights, explosions, and close-quarters combat scenes that keep the viewer on the edge of their seat.

The movie also explores the emotional side of Selene and Eve's relationship, as they come to terms with their new situation and their shared history. Selene struggles with the realization that she has missed out on 12 years of her daughter's life and must now protect her daughter from the dangers of the world they now inhabit.

Underworld Awakening is a gripping and intense movie that will appeal to fans of the previous movies in the Underworld franchise. The story is well-written and the acting, particularly by Kate Beckinsale, is superb. The special effects and action sequences are also top-notch, making for a thrilling movie-watching experience. Overall, Underworld Awakening is a fantastic addition to the Underworld series and a must-watch for any fan of the vampire or action genres.

Underworld Awakening is a 2012 fantasy movie. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.3 and a MetaScore of 39.
