After the fourth installment of the franchise I was really expecting more from this movie. And that is because the 4th one was so ridiculously pathetic that I thought it impossible for the next one to be worse.
Well,it wasn't worse,I'll give them that,but it was still disappointing. Kate looked really old and tired(old for a never aging vampire that is). And that supposed to be hardcore look, that was similar to a common fb duck-face did not help much into taking things more seriously.
Besides that, the visual effects were not living up to the expectations for a 2016 film. The wolves were not realistic and the endless gun scenes throughout the movie made me wonder where were all those bullets hitting,that we were supposed to be seeing having an impact on either a body or a wall or whatever....Like shooting blanks.
It was plot less with a silly scenario and many many cringy and totally uncalled for scenes...For example,the scene towards the end that Marius and David were walking towards each other will shooting at each other and then standing still,grunting and pushing bullets out of flesh and then brutalizing one another made the whole theater burst into laughter...And there were many other laughable scenes around this one.
Last thing,many plot holes....Michael had to come back some way,so it happened in a 25 second scene,the sacred place was put there out of nowhere, only to be left outside any useful conversation from then on.Selene was weak like a common untrained vamp while she was supposed to be the strongest vamp alive with super power blood inside her and so on so on.....
Nothing near the atmosphere and greatness of the first installments but still better than the previous abortion and at least we had a good laugh!
