Just Call Me Psychic
Yeah, Daybreakers sucked. Big surprise there. I mean, it didn't reach So Bad It's Horrible on the cycle of suckage, but it didn't reach So Bad It's Good either. It just stayed firmly in So Bad It's Boring. The best part of the film was the fact that I saw it in what may be the tiniest cinema screen in the world- I mean, seriously, it seats about 12 people and feels like you're watching the film on someone's telly- so when a couple left fifteen minutes before the end and started to argue outside the screen the entire audience could hear every word. Ah, the hilarity.
Hilarity was not provided, however, by Grizzled Unfunny One Liners Man, who appeared to be Tallahassee from Zombieland's irritating and painfully unfunny cousin. Neither was it provided by Obvious Love Interest, Edward The Vampire (But Not That One) or His Brother. In fact, none of them provide any good dialogue at all. The first exchange between Edward The Vampire (But Not That One) and His Brother even has one calling the other 'bro' with no irony at all. Yeah, just...don't.
In the film's defense, it makes a pretty good stab at creating it's own world. Okay, it's pretty much only shown through a vampiric tube station and the flying golems that hop around underneath it, but fair play to them. Sadly, the story was completely predictable, which was a shame, because I would have been willing to overlook the inconsistencies with the film's vampires (in particular the way the cures worked and the transformation from vampire to flying golem) and dull characters for a good story. Ah well.
Oh, and they showed a trailer for Iron Man 2 before the film. It looks awesome, natch. The Book of Eli? Not so much...
(BTW, I know I said I was going to post that fic ASAP but I decided to get some sleep instead and as I knew there was no-one actually waiting for it I figured I would. In fact, I don't even know why I'm justifying my decision here. It's not like anyone read my earlier post. Or is even reading this...)
