    • Trivia
      Although the film includes flashback footage of Bill Nighy, this is the first Underworld film not to feature new performances by Nighy, Michael Sheen, or Brian Steele.
    • 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.

    Meh.....Okay I guess

    I'm not sure why this film seems to be getting fantastic reviews. I mean it was a good enough action flick but it didn't blow my mind. In fact it was a case of the same old stuff just done better. Brilliant to watch but not refreshing at the same time. The story was lacking in depth and character development and just felt like a filler for another sequel.

    I don't want to be all doom and gloom about it because Kate really did kick some ass and looked good doing it too so as far as action and eye candy goes its great. But any fan of the series knows that the Underworld saga isn't stupid. They always paid attention to script and story and that was lacking here unfortunately.

    I'm sure if you go and see it you wont be disappointed but just leave your brains at the door and watch the action commence.
