I loved the concept but it needed a little more action and should have been a little longer to develop the story better and provided a little more of an ending.

my friend and I went to see this on opening day, not too many people in the theater at 11:15am, but both of us thought the movie was better then we thought it was going to be.
Yes it doesnt have an ultra deep plot and most things are a little predictable, no you wont waste 2 hours, 1 its only 1 hour and 28 or 38 minutes, 2 it is a little gory, but its a LIONSGATE vampire movie... a decent movie when it comes to vampire movies
Yes, I recommend this movie.

When gory and boring are in the same review, it isn't a good sign. If one is going to trot out the tired vampire motif, a little more story and character development would have been nice. There were no unexpected twists or turns. Every development was predictable. I left the theatre feeling that I had wasted 2 hours.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

That was gory. Wish more films were this gratuitous. Most the time, a $7 12-pack yields more s_x and violence than a R-rated movie.

I think this movie was very entertaining and a different spin on the same old vampire tale... the only down fall is I think this would be a little less exciting to watch at home, it seems like the kind of movie you need to see in a theater atmosphere.

I thought the movie was decent. Compelling story, but not as well developed as I would expect. Overall, I enjoyed seeing the movie, and didn't feel like I wanted my money back. On the other hand, I probably wouldn't watch it a second time, even when released to video. Special effects (especially vampires exploding) made the entire theater laugh, which I don't think was the intended effect.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I enjoyed this movie overall, but the gore was a little gratuitous at times and I could have done with just a good solid, movie sans the cheap scares at a few points throughout the movie. The concept was original and the acting was good. Both Ethan Hawke and Sam Neill were excellent in their respective roles.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

So the idea was great and well done until the movie went cliche somewhere between the second and third act.
throw a "sequel possible/into the sunrise ending" that completely works against the plot and you leave the theatre with that waste of money feeling.
could have been great. Oh well.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Wait, people actually liked this movie? The trailer made it look 10x better than it actually was, and although the plot had a good concept behind it, they really failed to execute it. For example, when describing the actual cause for the human race to almost entirely turn into vampires, they mentioned maybe a 2 sentence explanation and never re-explored it. The futuristic city and cars looked pretty cool, but the special creatures and effects that happened to any vampire in the sun honestly just made me laugh. This movie plays off the popularity of the vampire genre to get viewers to see it, as it did for me being a vampire and zombie movie fan, but it left me wanting to watch a better vampire movie.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

The concept of the movie was interesting, the execution of it a simple insult to the modern vampire genre.
None of the acting was bad really, even believable. There were a lot of cool scenes in this movie, the problem was how they tried to glue it all together with cheapshot scare moments that just did not work and news blurbs that became repetitive.
By the time the movie got to the point where they try to get you to emotionally connect with what happens to one of the characters, you're bored and are just waiting for the movie to finish.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Its good to see a movie that you feel is not just another cookie cutter movie. There were some new ideas here for vampire fans as well as great makeup, and effects. I found my mind wandering just a little at one point in the movie but overall I thought it was good!!!!

With such great actors and a unique storyline I was expecting more from this movie. Yes, it was fun and definitely had it's moments -- but it wasn't as good as I was expecting, another case of the trailer being better than the movie unfortunately. :(

I was hoping to see a Underworld, or even Matrix type action movie, which this was not.
It was fairly predictable and more verbal than action.
I had hoped with the cast it would have more substance.

Finally! A movie about vampires that combines all the juicy best parts of vampire movie lore with a new & original twist....that is also well-acted, scripted, paced and edited....with some nice cinematography .... all that and an ending that you don't see coming! Best "mainstream" big budget vampire movie in a long, long time! Hawke is very good. Sam Neill & Willem Dafoe are a hoot! I loved every component of this movie. It is rare for TheMovieRhino to want to see a horror movie twice - very rare - but I will see this one, in-theater, a second time - and can't wait! If you have a craving for some good old vampire action with an original story then this one will get your heart thumping! See it!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
