Daybreakers Review
Daybreakers (2010)
Cast: Ethan Hawke, Williem Dafoe, Sam Neill.
Written and Directed By: Peter Spierig, Michael Spierig.
Daybreakers is science-fiction thriller movie based in futuristic 2019 where the human race is no longer human, but vampires. What humans are left are captured and harvested for blood in a corporation that are doing tests to try and create a blood substitute. This substitute needs to be created successfully as the humans are becoming extinct and the blood supply is beginning to run dry. Vampire and lead haematologist at the corporation has his work interrupted by human survivors who have created their own enterprise of human survival soldiers. These soldiers proclaim they have found a cure for the vampire virus which could save the chaos, the bloodshed, the war and the human race altogether.
The movie was film in Australia, with sets that show you the futuristic key of movie, however that being said considering 2019 is no longer that far away they didn't play on it being futuristic. Cars are more equip with higher technology and gadgets in a way that is quite realistic as cars will most likely be exactly like that in our real 2019. Instead of looking futuristic and sci-fi, the sets are portrayed as more modern that technical, a semi realistic set in a non realistic generation.
With actors such as Williem Dafoe and Sam Neill their talent is borderline five star as the opposite characters they play, showing heartfelt and heartless at it strongest. Ethan Hawke, yet again, impresses me greatly with his part. In comparison to other Hawke films I've seen, and considering he is playing a vampire which is supposedly more powerful than a human, this character is almost vulnerable if you will, and his acting in this really makes you want to give hope to Edward within certain scenes.
The negative point within this movie is regarding one certain scene in which I feel the CGI was not paid enough attention to; as you see deforming starved vampires dragged into the sun, these dying characters are shown as burning skeletons and I did not feel impressed with the way it was shown. However, this being said I have to research and remind myself this movie was being made during 2009 and CGI was still growing.
All in all I absolutely love this film and if you like rather action, fantasy, science-fiction or just love vampire movies it is one you will enjoy, I find it's made in a way that a wide range of audiences will find entertaining. Finally it became a vampire film with a completely different portrayal, it has originality.
My Rating: 8.5/10
