Daybreakers

Last night I watched Daybreakers.  It is about a dystopian world where almost everyone is a vampire and the few humans left are rounded up and farmed for blood, a la The Matrix.  The human population is almost gone so the vampires have to find an artificial blood source or they turn into monster-like creatures.  Edward is the top vamp blood researcher because he hates using humans.  A group of humans contact him and tell him of a cure.  Ed must figure out how to replicate the cure before all the humans are killed.


This movie is an interesting take on the vampire genre.  It shows the down side of be eternal and depending on humans that can be quickly turned into vampires eliminating their usefulness.  The creators thought through a lot of different issues with being a vampire, which was fun to see.  The plot was very predictable, you can tell what the end result is going to be, but that doesn't hamper the movie too much.


If you like the vampire genre, see this movie for a depressing look at how life could actually be.  Otherwise, you can probably skip this movie.


IMDB: Edward: "Yeah well, life is a bitch ain't it? Then you don't die."


PS.  School started so I haven't been able to blog as much.  I'll try to get caught up on what I've watched over the next few weeks.  Also since no one is reading this blog, I'm not going to add links or follow my format as strictly until someone reads it.
