Movie Reviews of Day Watch (Unrated) [Blu-ray]Movie Review: The Russian Matrix? Summary: 5 Stars
(1) I loved the books, but movies are a different medium and in general I try to treat them independently.
(2) I didn't see the first movie in the theaters, so I can't comment on the special animated subtitles.
(3) What I can say is that unless you have spent time in Russia, you really can't envision the novels without the help these movies provide. The movie pacing was slow at times, but at other times I flashed back (especially with Day Watch) to the first time I watched "The Matrix" (and in a good way). The characters are intriguing and are served up in a way that makes the switch from the first person of the novels to the objective viewpoint of a movie a delight. Even minor characters are facinating in their own right. While the story takes its necessary time in developing a complex plot, the action scenes are fast and furious and as full of impact as was "bullet time" in the Matrix.
The "free form" adaptation by the original author is NOT the excellent novel, but it IS an excellent movie script and worthwhile in its own right. You can find a beauty in tawdriness, and the Blu Ray conversion is first rate.
