Title: Underworld Awakening
Post by: Whiskyrat on December 07, 2011, 11:38:01 AM
I was looking for a little inspiration for the 2nd phase of my Underworld Project and I found this (http://www.entertheunderworld.com/).

Kate in leather - roll on January.  ;D

ohhh, now that looks good, I've enjoyed all the others so far and outright war sounds especially tasty. However, 3D, really, can't they show it in normal so I don't have a headache when I come out of the cinema.

She's no Diana Rigg, but she does have a certain appeal.  :)

Only 3D movie I saw was Avatar. No head ache, but I felt weird for the rest of the evening.  o_o

No worries; I saw it in 2D and still felt weird... :D

Must have been the whole Pocahontas in Space experience ;)

And another Underworld can't be bad, especially when skintight latex/leather is involved. On attractive female leads that is. Otherwise; definitaly NO skintight leathers; as the Man once said; 'Spandex is a privilege, not a right.'

Seriously though; I share the whole 3D-scepsis. To me, it adds nothing extra to a movie besides a vague queeziness lurking at the edge of my awareness. So I'll probably see this on a 3 for €25,- DVD in another 8 months or so... :)

Kate in leather

The only saving grace of the movies IMO.  :-* but, I can see the fluff and visual style providing a good background to a skirmish game.

Hopefully we could see some modern vampires and werewolf minis out of this ;D

Definitely. Because anyone else, say... Rosie O'Donnell, sporting black leather and full auto pistols doesn't have quite the same appeal.

Saw this trailer last week & can't wait for release for all the above Kate comments and the fact that I've really enjoyed the previous movies (even the non-Kate prequel)

Besides, it's good to see some blood-sucking vampire's in a film as opposed to all those cute, cuddly, misunderstood vampire movies & TV shows (Twilight, Moonlight, Vampire Diaries) we've suffered over the last few years!

Not to be rude or anything, but I have never understood the greatness in the Underworld movies. Many of my friends like them but I just fall asleep while watching, and that's not a good sign...
Please enlighten me.

Let's see. Underworld movies have these pieces of interest:

I'm a big fan..... For all the reasons mentioned above. Sure the stories in the subsequent movies are a bit contrived but that doesn't detract for me.

This is a movie that I will make the effort to watch on IMAX.  ;-)

When will this 3D fad die out?

Ruins the pacing as the action slows to 'bullet' and there might as well be a message flashing at the bottom of the screen saying '3D moment; put on glasses now.  Cool eh?'

 >:(

Still, 3D aside this looks like a cracker of a 3rd movie.  
I'll echo the calls for a figure range too...although Copplestone already do the lovely Kate...'Girl werewolf hunter' http://www.copplestonecastings.co.uk/range.php?range=FW (http://www.copplestonecastings.co.uk/range.php?range=FW)

While the appeal of Ms. Beckinsale's undeniable, the Underworld movies have left me kinda cold. The whole "vampires are wicked kewl and rule the world, and WEREWOLVES are even kewler" thing was tired by about 1996 - I got entirely too much of that when I was rooming with the 24/7 "vampire: the Masquerade" LARP gang.

Not sure they rule the world, Vampires are the top dogs hunting down the last of the werewolves who are mostly savage beasts, wageing a war in secret from humans. No human blood dolls in the Underworld movies.
Title: Re: Underworld Awakening
Post by: Ajsalium on December 08, 2011, 03:07:51 PM
And in this last offering, according to what the trailer shows, it's the humans that are hunting to extinction both vampires and lycans. So perhaps vampires ain't ruling the world after all.

Me neither.  Last cinema experience was a year ago when I went to see Resident Evil: Afterlife at an IMAX.  Hmmm.  There's theme developing here.......

It's a nice sculpt, I have two of them.  But I'm just too intimidated to try and paint all that shiny leather :(
