Day Breakers

Side note: As I was trying to think of a creative title for this review, I kept repeating "Day Breakers" over and over again in my head, which when said quickly turns into Date Rapers...lol

Anyways, I just watched this film on Netflix instant que and semi enjoyed it.  Watching the trailer a year ago I had so many expectations for the film, because it looked to good!  But instead all I got was about 5 coinciding story lines, gratuitous violence and scenes that just dragged on for WAAAY too long. (I was having flash backs to Lord of the Rings Part III)

I believe the premise would have made an incredible film, but somewhere along the line someone dropped the ball and all I got was decent acting and a subpar story.

Basically, for those of you who have not heard of this movie, it centers around a world where, after an epidemic, most of the world's population is turned into vampires.  Jump to 10 years later and the vampire race is running out of human blood.  Bad things then begin to happen.

I thought the beginning was very clever and it definitely set the tone and bar for the rest of the film.  Sadly, the rest could not live up to the opening.  Don't get me wrong I definitely enjoyed watching it, and I heart Ethan Hawke but this film could have been so much more!
