Daybreakers

The Plot

In the year 2019, a plague has transformed most every human into vampires. Faced with a dwindling blood supply, the fractured dominant race plots their survival; meanwhile, a researcher works with a covert band of vamps on a way to save humankind.

My 2¢
I was very disappointed with this movie. It's the perfect example of having a great concept, but not knowing how to execute it properly. The characters all came off as one dimensional, without a lot a motive for their actions. There was no real chemistry between the actors either. Willem DaFoe was just there to be the prerequisite half crazy guy he always is. Claudia Karvan played the leader of the human resistance, and she was so calm it didn't seem like the Vampires were a threat to her. Ethan Hawke never really seemed to change emotions either, he was sullen and sleepy through the whole movie.

I won't say what it is, but the "Cure" for the Vampirism was in two parts. The first part of it I didn't understand how it worked, and they certainly never tried to explain it. They also relied on a lot of cheap scares, where suddenly something made a loud noise and jumped towards the screen.

I'd give this 1 1/2 out 4 stars mostly for the visuals of the Vampire controlled world.
