Take a dash of Good Idea, three slices of Good Actor, and a large saucepan of Fecal Matter. Allow to simmer mildly for 2 hours, and then serve in a knock-off Matrix serving dish. Voila, you have Daybreakers.

Neat idea, superb primary cast with some good camera work. However it all falls utterly and completely flat. I mean, I can't absolutely hate a movie that has the balls to end with a Matrix-lobby-cannibal-vampire-orgy-of-blood but God damn I can't like it either due to just how retarded it is. There's nothing great here.

So I've been criticized for lurking too much and writing too little. Well, I'm back! And I'm pissed off! This movie. This fucking movie. Is in fact. Nowhere near as bad. As certain reviews would have you believe. Sure the plot is dumb, but the setup, the universe. Awesome! Degenerating vampires that explode when poked with a stick?!What? That's below the otherwise award worthy offerings that this genre usually guarantees? Shocked I tell ya! So called mates of mine... who are you assholes?

While some will agree that the ending could have (maybe) been better, Daybreakers brings more life to the vamps on the big screen more than any other has in a long while. Characters aren't all developed to full potential, and there are some small plot holes, but it's well acted and the directing is decent. Absolutely loved the craftsmanship of it all and everything surrounding the actors you see before your eyes. Good visual effects and I'd say it's worth an easy watch.

A really great new take on vampires. I loved the moody set pieces and use of color. The story was absorbing and full of refreshing new ideas that the genre really needed. The story was not driven by the action but when it was there it was intense and gruesome. All the actors did a wonderful job and where I'm normally not a big Ethan Hawke fan, I really liked him in this.

Some good ideas and an interesting twist to the vampire mythos ruined by stupid dialog/scenes and amateur night direction. This wastes the talent of Hawke and Dafoe who could have had so much potential if the film wasn't directed by total hacks. The action was also corny and having vampires mutter one liners before exploding is some campy shit that you would expect from an 80's B-movie. With the considerable budget there is no excuse for how lame this turned out.

Daybreakers isn't the tense thriller that we were promised by the trailers. Much of the action seems like a forgone conclusion and characters never seem to be in any real jeopardy (except when they do the cliche martyrdom thing). So much of the plot advances seemed earned too easily, like the vampirism cure, without ever being explained or even seeming plausible. Overall the tone is too depressive and somber, to be effective as an action or horror film.

There isn't a lot to dislike when it comes to a film like Daybreakers. However, I can't guarantee that everyone will enjoy it. It is, after all, a genre film, one of sci-fi and horror, and if you don't enjoy those types of films, you won't like Daybreakers either. I enjoyed it though; the plot was interesting, the depth made me think, and the film ended up being really fun. Sometimes the CGI didn't hold up, and the acting wasn't very good, but I still had a really enjoyable time with it.

Narrative-wise has depth as much as a japanese video game, namely Capcom games (The corporation, human cattle, the romantic scientist from 18th century, the greedy capitalist with a soft spot for his daughter etc.) The characters are really cardboards. I very much like Dafeo but his accent in this movie was hilarious. But I love how this movie opens with a bang; child suicide? Still, even at its best far less engaging than, say, Kirsten Dunst as a badass kid vamp in Interview with the Vampire.

never really does justice to the visual ingenuity of its noirish nocturnal metropolis, failing to resolve a tussle between campy genre revelry and more weighty allegorical concerns. the flimsy characterisations and convoluted plot developments don't justify a series of arbitrary revisions to vampire lore, and there's scant soul behind all the dystopian gimmickry.

Based on a neat idea and concept, but never quite makes the most of it. The plot falls apart and things get more predictable as the movie nears its ever so slightly tedious conclusion. Even so, the cast are solid and there was a nice dash of gore. Not terrible, but could have been so much more.

Trash. But not in a good, tongue-in-cheek way. As with their previous outing, Undead, you sense that the Spierig-brothers love this sort of thing. They don't, however, capitalize on that and, unfortunately, seem unable to make a genuinely good film. Some ideas had potential but were largely wasted. Many lines were stinking clunkers and the effects are uniformly sloppy. Working with bigger names and given a considerably larger budget, the pair's filmmaking is still worthless. Like I said: Trash.

Atrocious. The original concept I suppose might have been slightly compelling, if in practice it wasn't completely hammed up with such laughably camp and uninspired scenes, with the blood coffee's typifying this point. Terrible performances from the entire cast, and atrocious dialouge ("life's a bitch, and then you dont die") cement the film as an absolute turkey, let alone the fact that they forgot to include an actual ending. Avoid at all costs

The premise is undoubtedly interesting and the sci-fi and fantasy elements meld well but the whole plot was just too flimsy and felt really rushed. I kept waiting for it to get better but it never did. I would have appreciated more of the subsiders. We have already been bombarded with a slew of tepid and even insufferable vampire flicks these past few years. This one had the capacity to break that chain and reinvigorate the genre but it never lived it up to its potential.

The best vampire movie that I've seen since From Dusk Til Dawn. I thought the acting was wonderful, especially Sam Neill. Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe were a great team. The writing was probably my favorite part of this movie. It had all the best vampire lore, like sunlight killing vampires and using wooden steaks. It also had some new stuff like if vampires feed on each other they mutate into gross monsters. My favorite new thing was the twist in the movie, you'll just have to see for yourself.

A movie with such a great idea and such great actors should have been much better than it was. Unfortunately, it fell into the awkwardly bad category where it's overly campy but doesn't know it. It's possible to have a good movie with blood explosions and corny dialog, and it's possible to have a good movie that takes itself seriously. But it's almost impossible to have both at the same time.

Horror as a genre has always benefited from twisting its disadvantages into one strong advantage: well-made entries are rare and have ample opportunity to stand out. Such is the case with 'Daybreakers,' a superior vampire film that knocks Twi-hards on their heads. The film has an interesting premise, engaging characters, a solid cast, a few real scares, and a lot of brains behind it. With more talent like this driving the genre, horror can not only jump out of the dark, but engage the mind.

'Daybreakers' just solidifies something I've known for a while; I love cheesy B-Movies. From the moment you see Edward's disembodied clothing floating in a mirror, you know that the main reason this movie exists is to blow stuff up. Looking at it in that light, it fulfills that expectation. No one here is necessarily deep in character, but you get just enough to know what everyone is looking for and watching them butt heads is the reward. The ignorance of everyone involved is why it's thrilling.

Tarentino makes 'high class' grindhouse-esque films, but that's not what a grindhouse film really is.. To me grindhouse is cheap thrills and spills.

An interesting premise is completely botched to fit the Thoroughly Average Action Move mold. The off-switch for vampirism is to be in the sun for 4 seconds? Boy, the Plot-o-matic-3000 must have had an off day or something. Thoroughly stupid, no sense of urgency, blue filter overload, and all the opportunities for some interesting world building are dropped in favor of car chases and weak subplots. Such a shame.

What I learned from this movie: directing a film with your brother doesn't equate to double the fun. Even though this movie tried to explain the vampire epidemic through scientific reasoning, you still had cheese like vampires not appearing in mirrors and 'explosion deaths' when struck through the heart by a stake (or crossbow bolt, or chair leg). If I had a choice between death and becoming a vampire in a world where I had to watch this movie over and over again, I'd happily choose death.

Daybreakers unique take on a tired genre is appreciated, as flipped perspective isn't something I've seen before. The amount of tools the film has is a bit unwieldy for its running time: brother relationships, father-daughter relationships, a budding romance, finding a cure, and on and on. I found myself in the rare position of wanting a vampire film to be longer so that these characters could be more developed.

Big plus: the creators have made sure this intriguingly imagined, high-concept future is logical & makes a hell of a lot of sense. Unfortunately, the same attention wasn't paid 2 the characters. Perhaps it's intentional (although I doubt it), but even the vamps who purport 2 enjoy being blood-suckers r as dull as dishwater, walking& talking w/ all the personality of zombies on prozac. The humans fare no better w/ only Dafoe distnguishable from the rest in his Etch-A-Sketched Bad-Ass role.

Welcome, new and sort of a reversed take on the vampire movie genre, but the novelty of the main idea only takes the film so far. Intentionally or not, the dialogue is laughably terrible most of the time. Also, some of the plot twists are just dumb. The film is still entertaining enough if you enjoy seeing a ton of vampires bursting into flames and exploding.

A great setting, wonderful video game material really, a very good visual environment, semi-noir, semi-modern. It also has decent acting, particularly Hawk, Karvan, and Neill (Dafoe's character was underdeveloped). But then the story never takes off really so it stays stunted and at one point becomes boring. Plus, the gore is not in line with the overall tone of the story so it feels out of place; the degeneration of the vampires was a nice touch. So overall a nice try but a rather failed one.

How do you screw up a vampire movie? You clone Gattaca, get a pretense of depth from Equilibrium, and then stick in lots of personal drama like the utter failure of the Blade Runner reboot. The end result drips with the penile emesis of masturbation but fundamentally is just boring, which should be a sinf or any vampire movie.

Awful because of how painfully mediocre it is. They had a really good concept and did nothing interesting with it, and it doesn't help that this film has some of the most boringly unimaginative photography I've seen in a while. The story never builds up any momentum or presents any interesting challenges, or even any decent action. All you're left with is some fun gore and a few good ideas, but it isn't worth it.

I've always found Ethan Hawke very watchable, and he's perfectly cast here as a self-loathing vampire. The script is a high-concept "what if?" scenario which makes it more like sci-fi that's set 15 minutes into the future, than true horror - but it's still wonderfully gory! It was a fascinating little tale which hinted at (but never fully explored) themes of sustainability and addiction and some fun pulpy action-horror, I enjoyed it and could probably have sat through a longer cut quite happily.

Daybreakers is destined to be another one of those popcorn flicks that you rent and relentlessly make fun of with a good group of friends, then completely forget about the next day. Nothing in this film is interesting, the acting is forgettable, the action dull, and it's always slightly embarrassing to watch. Not to mention the gore, which is ridiculously over the top, the blood-bath orgy of violence near the end was eye-rollingly idiotic. Skip it if you want anything resembling good film.

20 points for the setup in the first 15 minutes. Afterwards it gets worse and worse till it completely goes to shit in the last half hour. And seriously...wtf is going on with Willem Dafoes voice?

Pretty good for a B-movie, though it does still suffer from all the typical B-movie shortcomings (dumb, clichéd plotting, bad effects, etc.). There's an impressive attention to detail in the world-building and premise, and the first half is atmospheric and intriguing in its setup. It gets a bit silly in the second half, and had almost lost me altogether, before it completely nails the ridiculous and awesome ending. Starts off cool, gets dumb halfway through, then turns into dumb fun at the end.

I was pleasantly surprised that it hasn't become a grab-the-ketchup-and-splatter-around kind of vampire film. It adds some new, refreshing aspects to the film and now we get to see everything from the vampire point of view. It started of pretty good, but towards the ending it really got worse. The storyline got less interesting and a bit predictable, we got clichéd OMGmoments and the splattering began. Luckily it fitted the film. A good vampirefilm, but certainly not a great film.

In an era in which the vampire market is so ssaturated, the edge of this one helps it stand out a bit, yet it leads itself into another saturated market in the zombie/apocalypse realm. Regardless, not a bad flick.

I liked that from the very beginning. Nice concept, good acting but could have been nicer if they put more this fantastic creatures and more blood. Chaotic ending.

Interesting premise wasted on an awful, jokey actioner with matrix/blade/equilibrium etc. etc. stylings.

A great balance of a highly intriguing look at sci-fi-horror world in which vampirism has surpassed humanity and some cheesy strange elements. I can't help but enjoy it thoroughly.

Pretty much follows the Hollywood formula, but I really enjoyed how much thought they put into the fictional vampire society.

Daybreakers has a few good points, but loses out on a anything good by providing a script so shitty and full of holes that you stop paying attention to them. First off the direction is decent. The pacing and delivery is perfect. Vampires look great, really 'authentic'. Sadly, there is not one original, good or worthwhile thing in this entire movie. The plot is predictable, as are the twists. It sort of wants to be I Am Legend which is stupid anyway. Why would you want to be a crappy movie?

A B-movie to be sure, but quite a good one. It was a pleasant surprise based on no expectations.

Reminded me of Equilibrium, in that it's a nice idea, and has some nice technical flourishes, but in the end is a little bit silly. Not terrible, which almost passes for a recommendation these days.

Very unique idea, but movie tries too much to be horror and that's bad because it does not have feeling of horror and so there are stupid creatures

Easily one of the best vampire movies I've seen. Neill makes a very creepy vampire. But remember that Futurama episode where Fry was talking about that movie that had it all, even exploding vampires? "Blugh!" *BANG* That's exactly what this movie is. It's full of neat ideas and good effects, but apparently unaware of some fundamentally ridiculous central elements. The scene in which Dafoe helps Hawke catch fire again and again is a laugh riot. I really enjoyed it, but boy is it dumb.

Good. It starts out great. A unique twist on the vampire legend almost as fresh as the District 9 concept. And it continues to break new ground until the halfway mark when it stumble and shambles into camp B-movie territory and stays there till the great but wasted ending. Great performances by Hunt and Dafoe but Sam Niell disappoints. Good weekend entertainment. Recommended.
