She learns she had been the subject of scientist Dr. Jacob Lane, and the Vampire and Lycan species have been practically eradicated from Earth.

Trivia
The film takes place in 2015.

Goofs
(at around 1h 6 mins) When Det. Sebastian is watching the security videos, we see a shot of Dr. Lane taking Eve down a hallway, with the security camera preceding them down the hall (moving with them), rather than panning to follow them as would be expected from a fixed-position camera.

Quotes
Eve: I dreamt of the day we would meet. Like a silly little girl. You're as cold as one already dead.
Selene: Yesterday, I was with your father. He was only a little further away from than you are now. I went to sleep. And when I awoke the next day, I learned that, overnight, 12 years had passed. And instead of the only man I ever loved, there stood a girl with his eyes. My heart is not cold. It's broken.

7/10

Underworld

Most movies don't get to a fourth in the series these days. I loved the first one the best, and though the effects have gotten cheaper, this movie is still an enjoyable continuation, and Kate is still the best effect!
