Movie Reviews of Day Watch (Unrated)
Movie Review: Hands-Down, The Worst Movie Of All Time. Ever.
Summary: 1 Stars
so i watched this really terrible straight to dvd movie called Pathfinder, which totally stunk, and on the preview there was a trailer for Daywatch. The trailer made the movie look really cool, with Rob Zombie music, neato bullet time effects, sharp colors. So the next night I went out and bought it for $5 used at blockbuster.
an hour and a half later, it was in my garbage can.
This is by far the worst movie. And I'll tell you why.
One thing the trailer neglected to mention. The movie....its Russian. Woulda been nice if the trailer had even one line of dialogue from the movie. Now I see why it was left out of the trailer. Ugh.
I dont hate Russia or anything, but they look like they tried to spice up the location shooting and all everything else, make it bright and futuristic. But you see right through that...in the end, everything looks like cheap, depressing, uninteresting post communist filthy Russia.
The plot is non existent. Something about vampire hunters, but i never saw one vampire. In fact, i remember the entire plot being centered around finding a magical artifact that holds the fate of the universe....and that artifact is....
A piece of chalk.
no joke. literally, its a piece of chalk. and...it just so happens the whole time its in this filthy little restaurant the main character happens to frequent. its been there the whole time. i think. i wasnt paying much attention.
ya know..bullet time effects are done man. the matrix was cool when it had it, but now those are everywhere, in every movie. even the russians are using them in their terrible action epics. maybe action movies as a whole should just lay off bullet time effects.
Some dumb girl drives a car on the side of a building. lame. and its only a mazda.
there was this really long scene where nasty old people are drinking and laughing at a party in slow motion with close ups of their faces. it was gross. and some demon kid with a yo-yo...with a chase in an old crappy truck in the snow....if you make it to this part of the movie, im sure you will have the mad urge to shut it off ASAP like i did. this is where my dvd went in the trash.
TRY and enjoy this. I dare you. its just as bad as Subterrano.
Summary of Day Watch (Unrated)
Like The Matrix, Day Watch combines cutting-edge digital effects and mind-blowing action to create a stunningly original world. This Unrated Edition takes you on an even wilder ride with more intense thrills and incredible effects.Only one thing stands between peace and Armageddon: the supernatural agents of Day Watch, who fight to control the armies of light and darkness. When the son of a senior Day Watch officer turns to the darkness, forces beyond the imagination are unleashed and the fate of the world hangs in the balance!
The dizzying supernatural Russian epic started in Night Watch continues with Day Watch, in which once again the battle between the forces of Light (the Night Watch) and Dark (the Day Watch) threatens to crack open the world as we know it. The plot centers around Anton (Russian superstar Konstantin Khabensky), an Other (one of many beings with varied supernatural powers) whose son, Yegor, has joined the Day Watch, who are grooming him to be their superpowerful savior. Anton's protoge, Svetlana, also has high-capacity power, and if Yegor and Svetlana come into conflict, the resulting devastation could shatter everything. The key to success seems to lie with the Chalk of Fate, a simple piece of chalk that can rewrite reality. Day Watch is full of plotholes and underdeveloped story points (at one point, to keep him safe, Anton's consciousness is switched into the body of his Night Watch colleague Olga--but mere moments later the Day Watch knows what's happened, before any suspense could be mined from it; as a result, this promising plot twist seems only to exist to allow for some girl-on-girl action), but it's forgivable. As with the first film, Day Watch bubbles over with its wildly imaginative world, its ravishing style, and its fantastic visual effects. If a Hollywood blockbuster had half as much creativity, it would be praised to the skies and be the hit of the year. Don't let the subtitles put you off (particularly since even the subtitles reflect the movie's wit and imagination)--Day Watch is a cinematic feast that any movie fan should devour. --Bret Fetzer
