Movie rec - Daybreakers
I’m following my usual practice of watching ALL THE SHOWS during semester break, which leaves me no time (or ability) to write, which is completely the opposite of during semester when I’m trying to shove information into my brain which periodically fills up with fic ideas instead. Though I have just signed up for a Lewis challenge, so now I have a deadline to focus me, yay.
The other night I had time for one more ep of something before going to bed at the virtuous time of 11pm, randomly decided to watch Daybreakers, as I’ve felt like a bit of a failure as a vampire fan not having got around to it yet. Actually expected to get bored and wander off to bed very shortly. But I liked it! Liked the premise of humans being nearly extinct and the vampires desperately trying to synthesise an alternate synthetic blood supply while rejecting the option of a cure. I wonder if it was deliberately supposed to be an allegory for the earth’s finite resources and humanity’s desperate attempt to fix the problem with technology instead of making sustainable changes…ha, I wonder if the dude who wrote the script did it deliberately and the TPTB failed to notice.
Regretted it the next day though, I think I am officially beyond believing the trade off of staying up stupidly late on a week night is worth dragging myself through my work day the next day.
