Day Watch

Recommended

Last night I saw a screening of the Russian Sci-Fi film Day Watch. For those of you who are not in the know, Day Watch is the sequel to the film Night Watch. It's a bit hard to explain the world of two films, but to put it simply it's like the Matrix meets Underworld.

(Minor Spoilers)
Anton (Konstantin Khabensky) & Svetlana (Mariya Poroshina) of the Dark Watch continue to fight the forces of Darkness while simultaneously attempting to find and save Anton's son Yegor (Dima Martynov) from the influences of those same forces. But when vampires belonging to the Light Watch start mysteriously being killed, and Anton is framed for their murders, he must put that goal on hold and try to escape the Day Watch that is looking for him  to help manipulate his son into bring about the Apocalypse.
(End Spoilers)

Overall I liked the movie, the story was good, the action was great, even plenty of laughs, and they even made reading the subtitles interesting (If you've seen the Night Watch DVD you'll know what I'm talking about. My buddy thought it was a bit to long, I believe it's a bit over 2 hours. The only element that bothered me was the ending of the film. Now I'm not saying it's a bad ending, I just felt it was a bit anti-climatic. This film is not for everyone but I would recommend that if you have seen Night Watch and liked it, do see Day Watch. And for those of you who haven't seen Night Watch go and Rent it first and see if you like the film, which I do also recommend to the Sc-Fi/Horror fans out there. If you do enjoy it after you watch it, then go and see Day Watch.
