A vampire movie that isn't stupid.
The movie Daybreakers creates a society in which the default role of humans hunting vampires becomes reversed. It was very cool to see that way that the society functioned. The movie takes place in the year 2019 were a plague has caused all humans to turn into vampires.
The main conflict of the movie is that the human blood supply is running out and when the vampires do not get the proper amount of blood they turn into some sort of retarded giant bat thing with 50X as much muscle as the normal vampire has. Edward Dalton ( Ethan Hawke) was "turned" by his brother. Since he didn't want to become he is obviously going to be the main character in this "original" plot line.
The best part of the movie comes from how true this movie stays to vampires because for some reason youth today feel that it is okay for a vampire to go outside, and not only do they not die, they fucking sparkle. These vampire can't go outside/need to drink blood/get killed by stakes...etc.
The vampire harvest and form human in order to have enough blood to sustain society, which they need or else they turn into retard bats. Now there are still quite a few humans out in the bloodsucking world, these humans have figured out a way to turn vampires back into humans through sunlight ( awwww what beautiful irony) Since there are so few humans they need to band together in order to survive so they go out and get each other. Most of the humans actions happen at nighttime, this begs the question: Why the fuck would you do anything at night? and then guess what happens ( Spoiler Alert) THEY DIE!
I my personal opinion the special effects in this movie were lacking realism. At one point a truck slides into a wooden plank and it looks about as realistic as the effects in a bad porno. The was good but it lacked something like ummm... a... AN ENDING, this movie leaves you with some sort artistic beautiful ending not actually ending the movie, this emotion of turns into the feeling of Why did I just watch this movie if I am not going to know what happens?/ What the fuck happens? The unique movie idea was pretty cool, but had quite a few flaws, but at least it isn't about vampires that stalk there "lovers" or have their babies eat their way out of them.
