    I enjoyed it the first time I watched it because of the concept. 9 years later when I watched it for the second time I saw how horribly executed it was. Cliches upon cliches, upon more cliches. Rent it if it goes on sale, otherwise don’t waste your money.

    Very interesting perspective for a vampire movie. It´s a bit too low on vampire biting and the turnaround at the end feels conceptually a bit weak. But hey, at least there are vampires everywhere!

    This is nothing close to twighlight, It's definitely worth watching. Ethan Hawke does really good acting along with everyone else. It carries a strong message about greed in humans and what we will do for ourselves Ignoring the consequences that we may cause later. What would we do for money even at the cost of other people's lives? Without pain or death what would we think about being alive and what would anything Mean to us? If you think about it it's more than just an action movie about vampires. If you want gore there's a good amount of it in this film. The plot is very good in this movie and the use of color is really appealing to The eye. Overall I really enjoyed it. five out of five stars!

    Daybreakers' story is very original, and have several interesting twists. It creates a retro-futuristic atmosphere that fits quite well with the story. I do understand why not everyone will like it - if you're not the type of viewers who appreciate an original story and the attention to details, you may find this not as satisfying as other slash and burn vampire movies. P.S.: One star deducted for the half-a** ending (which, frankly, ruins the movie). The movie would concluded much better if the director had decided to let it end when the bad guy dies.
  • Not bad. Just not bad.

    Sort of a sci-fi vampire flick, this is no horror movie. In fact, it wouldn't really qualify for a thriller label. The story starts out interestingly enough although the social crisis fueling the plot was a little rushed. The movie deals with some class conflict issues- again, interesting enough. With the exception of a couple of scenes, it is even suitable for those not normally able to take any gore in a movie. Worth renting I suppose.
  • Well Done!

    This movie was good. The acting was solid by all characters. Good storyline, script, effects, etc... It's hard to find a movie like this where thought was actually put into the writing and heart into the acting. Good job!
