Booking Your Time - Daybreakers

About time there is a proper movie with proper Vampires. I'm willing to bet $1 that Twilight is commissioned by the Camarilla to make the new generation of kine to become more susceptible to embracing and will definitely facilitate recruiting ghouls.
Glittering Vampires. Hah.
Nevertheless, Daybreakers is a pleasant surprise for a Vampire movie. In the show the Vampires do all the Vampire things - they scheme, they drink blood, they have no reflection in the mirrors (Lasombras?), they turn to dust when they get a sunburn, and people they bite do turn into Vampires too.
There is a good amount of violence and blood, and a great deal of red eyes and monstrous Nosferatu-like mutated vampire thingy, but the coolest thing is that there is actually a vampire economic model in a vampire society. That is really pretty cool.
And the story, though simple and a little too predictable, does make for a good evening entertainment movie. The cast are good enough for me, and the acting reasonable. This movie has almost everything you can look for in a Vampire show - blood, REAL vampires, violence, crossbows, guns, bats, last stand defense, car race, intrigue (a little), tragedy (of sorts) and a lot of dark places. But, hey, no sex (but there is nudity, and definitely sex appeal of a sort).
Recommend it for all Vampire fans, it is well worth the time and the $8 for it. But don't expect too much, it is only a B-movie~ a really good one, as far as I'm concerned.
And no way this is going to be commissioned by the Camarilla.
