Movie Review: Daybreakers

So, I’m into a dark fantasy kind of mood, so I saw my fantasy DVD’s shelf and thought, hmm Daybreakers. Vampires suit my mood and I watched it before and liked it, so let’s watch it again to review it for the blog!

The story of how the world is ruled by Vampires, but with one big problem; humans are becoming extinct and the shortage of human blood is a worldwide crisis. Scientist Vampy Edward Dalton (Ethan Hawke) is trying to develop a blood substitute when he encounters humans who need his help to develop a cure.

The first thing that caught my eyes in the movie was the nightlife. How people adjusted the cities and cars to suits vampires. It’s very interesting and not overly done. Like it’s only in 2019 and technology is still the same, just everything is a bit developed and works mostly at night.

The movie is thrilling. You have some creepy scenes, but it’s not action based. The story of the Vampires’ struggle and the hunt for cure are the focus.  The visuals were really good.

It’s dark and yet light in a good way. It’s a fun movie to watch, especially for Vampires fan. I really liked it. Though for me, I don’t want Vampires to rule the world, then there’s not fun underworld and you won’t feel too special when you become one!

Funny thing was, one of the scenes when the vampires are devouring a guy, one of the extras was just shaking his face from far as if he was eating the dude, but you can so tell there was a bit of a gap between his face and the dude’s arm hahaha! I think I only noticed this cause I watched it for the second time.

You know what, now I’m thinking I wanna watch Blade!

Till again!

Movie Review: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

So, we’re back! I miss writing about movies!

Today I went and saw the newest movie from the Planet of the Apes series in the new movie theater Novo at the Pearl (I’m in Qatar, if you’re wondering). The theater is really nice! I liked it, though it was a bit cold.  The movie as well was really good! I enjoyed it.

The story continues with the Ape Caesar from the previous movie, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, who managed to create a home for him and his fellow apes. As they are peacefully living, humans pass by them. After a plague had spread, humans were almost instinct, but the surviving groups lived in colonies. And one was right next to Caesar’s home. The two species clash and a war is started.

Even though the movie was a bit too long and made me feel tiny bit bored in the end, it is worth the watch! I loved how it didn’t focus on action scenes, but looked deep into the human/ape relations. How no matter how many try and keep the peace, one or two idiots full with hate, ignorance and fear come and destroy everything the peacemakers built in one stupid, stupid mood. I really admired that storyline as it reflects the reality of life and war.

The movie setting was beautiful. I loved the Apes’ home and the humans’ colony. I always enjoy the beauty of the scenery and the colors of everyone’s cloths and the background behind them. When you watch, pay attention to the gadgets here and there that shows how the humans are surviving. I love those details.

I’m not a huge fan of the series, I only saw the Rise movie and this one, but for a non-fan, I enjoyed it immensely.
