Watching Daybreakers

I am currently out watching Daybreakers, be back soon with a review……

Okay, so I went in not expecting much, and definitely not expecting to be impressed, but wow!  The movie was much better than I ever imagined.  The acting, the special effects, the whole plot, and the way it was all put together what amazing.  It was in no way cheesy, but was quite bloody, which I don’t mind.  Ethan Hawke and Willem Defoe were awesome, and I can’t tell you how happy I am that I actually enjoyed the movie.  I mean, I so seldom am ever excited by a movie, and then remain excited after I’ve seen it…..literally never happens for me.  Take “Paranormal Activity” it was good, but I was a little disappointed with the ending.  It really hit too close to home for me at the time, so that probably helped it.  Anyway, back to “Daybreakers”…..I have been reading the reviews and once I saw how it rated with both critics and viewers, I knew that it would be good.  Usually, these types of movies rate very low by the critics, but both viewers and critics gave it an A-, which to me is great!  I really liked that they changed the whole idea of the old vampire stories, and made it modern and believable by turning vampirism into a virus.  I really think it is worth the money to go an see it in the theater, if for nothing else but the big dark theater, surround sound, and the popcorn of course.  I even went to see it during the matinee hours and it only cost us $11.00 total.  I had to sneak in a Kit-Kat bar and some sweetarts though.  I have to say, that this is by far one of the best movies of its kind, and not that I can really compare “Twilight” to this movie, but it totally blew “Twilight” away.  I believe that it is still showing in theaters everywhere, and you really don’t want to miss this one.  So if you are a vampire fanatic, love to watch scary and gory movies, then you really need to go and see this one.  Loved it!
