Escape to the Movies: Daybreakers

[ZombieGenesis]

Holy jeez, the first new Vampire film of the year and not only do they give two fingers to Twilight, it's actually GOOD? MovieBob, this is why I love you.
Already had plans to go see this since I saw the Trailer at the Stepfather movie (not so good) but now I'll be looking forward to the best cinema experience since Up by my impression. If only they had played this at the halloween movie fest instead of Saw VI, oh well. Thanks Chipman, stay fancy.

I'm suprised this didn't turn out to be as bad as "Ultraviolet" was, didn't they do the whole "Future Corporate Vampire"-thing also?

 

[Woodsey]

It's been poorly-averagely received as far as I can see on Metacritic. Still interested though so I'll see it.

 

[GodofDisaster]

The film looks good, I might plan to see it soon. Also it's great to see Hollywood bringing back the real vampires.

 

[Lost In The Void]

Oh My God it's Ethan Hawke.

On Topic Awesome I wanted to see this so bad. Now it's a sure thing

It looked like a generic action flick from the previews, but then again so did District 9. It is a good thing we have Movie Bob around to enlighten us.

I have a question for people who have seen it. Does this movie use or over use the hand held camera technique of filming a battle?

District 9 made my wife motion sick which limited my enjoyment of an otherwise stellar movie.

*Adding Daybreakers to the SERIOUSLY I HAVE TO SEE THAT MOVIE list.*
First time I watched the trailers my thought were very high but they have gone even higher.

 

[Heathrow]

The plot reminds me a lot of the book Vamped.

I for the life of me can't understand how something like this could fly so low on the radar. Its the first im hearing of it. Though from the review and then trailers, I can say this is one of the movies that even I will go see.

It's not only Twilight that has been bending the rules of vampires and I'm saying this because I think it's unfair to insist on bashing it anymore. It's like beating up a dead horse. Anyone who doesn't like Twilight knows why they don't like it and who cares if millions of people around the world like it? I personally don't, but I'm not sadder because some do... they have the right to. Ok, they are technically not good movies, but their are just as many people liking them than people who don't and I believe that it doesn't matter for something to be popular to be liked or not. As they say, the important thing is that people talks about it. I think ignoring them would be better if we want to stop hearing about them.

I am a huge fan of MovieBob and probably my favorite movie critic. I like his honesty and analyses. He's really refreshing and takes movies for what they are supposed to be. A blockbuster movie isn't met to make you think and he seems to respect that. But Twilight? Come on! Let it be. I don't want to be Meyer's defender, but we can do better than that. Anyway... it seems to me that every vampire movies / story in the last 10 or 20 years were always ignoring some vampire rules just for the sake of making their story work and they always make their characters say something like this "Oh, garlic and crucifix are so stereotypical... REAL vampires aren't like that"! Anyway... I had no intentions of seeing Daybreaker, but you made me changed my mind.

I've been a huge Bram Stoker fan for a long long time so I am very excited for this. It's time to make vampires VAMPIRES again.

Been looking forward to this for awhile.

You had me at Willem Defoe.

 

[GrinningManiac]

I saw the trailer at Avatar

I thought the idea of a dominant Vampire race was intriguing

 

[JohanGasMask]

The "Anti-Twilight"...Haven't you seen the underrated movie Let the right one in.

 

[Monshroud]

So does this mean it's cool to like vampires again? For a while there if you said anything about vampires people just assumed Twilight...

I heard about this movie 3 or 4 months ago and have been waiting for it for some time. MovieBob has similar taste in movies as I do, so this should be just fucking awesome!

 

[GameGoddess101]

I was avoiding this movie like the plague for a while. I saw the preview and I'm like "ugh... more fucking vampires, goddamnit!" But this actually sounds really good! *saves pennies to go see*
