Another film about Vampires and Lycans, yawn I hear you say. Even though it's 13 years into the franchise it still has a lot going for it. Mainly the mythology set up in the previous films about Selene and now her daughter Eve, whose blood is of importance to Vamps and Lycans. Luckily for Selene she doesn't know where her daughter is, which leads to the main story of Lycans vs Vampires vs Treacherous Vamps lead by Semira. Selene and David (vampire heir) escape to a Northern fortress where they are helped by another vampire faction, lycans arrive and their leader Marius kills Selene (or so he thinks). Leading to a big battle at Vampire HQ where Semira is killed by Varga, one of her followers. Marius is killed to by Selene and the lycans retreat. The film ends with Daniel as the new leader of the vampires and renewed hope for co-existence with the lycans.

After the disappointment that was Awakening I didn't go see this movie with high expectations, but I came out surprised. The movie is totally fine. Does it have some poor CGI and bad actions scenes? Absolutely. But it also has some quite brutal and "Whoa" moments. What surprised me the most was the story which actually references a lot of the past movies, expands the lore and ties some loose ends nicely. Critics will absolutely destroy this movie but if you are a fan of the series or just want to throw some popcorn in your face watching a fun movie, you should definitely check it out. Did I mention Kate Beckinsale still kicks ass?
