Daybreakers

Looks good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFUP8KfYVkM

Releases 8th Jan in the USA but theres no release date for the UK on the IMDB website.

It's a very cool idea.

The release date for the UK is also the 8th of January according to Cineworld. Sam Neill and Willem Dafoe in the same film - hell yes! I'm looking forward to this.

[Neversoft]

The UK release date has been confirmed as the 6th of January. We're finally getting a film before everyone else. :)

Willem Dafoe being in it makes me interested. Otherwise it just looks like another Resident Evil/Blade type thing?

[Neversoft]

It's a lot more original than Blade and Resident Evil. Nearly the entire population are vampires for a start, while in Blade and Resident Evil they live in secret. Daybreakers has gotten very positive reviews thus far.

[Black_Apalachi]

Well as long as it's not just horror-orientated I might be interested in it.

Going to see it tomorrow. Can't wait! :D

After seeing the trailer, I didn't like the look of it, though I like the sound of it still.

We got The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus before anyone else. I think USA haven't had it released in cinemas, just as a "limited" seating thing.

On topic: I feel like I've seen the exact same thing somewhere else. It has an Underworld-esqe feel to it. I'd probably give it a watch though, I'll be hoping it's a full on action film.

UK does quite often get many major releases a few days before the USA, but on the contrary sometimes we get a film 2 months after a USA release. Up came out on home entertainment formats about a week after the UK theatrical release.

Yeah it was the same with a few others. When I flew over to the USA back in 2003, I bought Finding Nemo not a month after it was released in the UK cinemas, I also bought School of Rock the same day, 3 months before it was released in the UK cinemas XD

I'm snowed in again. No Daybreakers today. :(

Thats what I was getting at.

Roger Ebert gave it 2.5/4.

It looks like a film that develops the social idea of George Romero's Land of the Dead, except with vampires instead of zombies.

obviously I don't know what makes a good film and stuff but I quite enjoyed it.

ending was alright, although it was another "is that it?" while you wait to see if the credits role.

jumpy in parts, vampire bat things coming from no where.
