eben drübergestolpert weil Willem Dafoe mitspielt und er in den USA unter den top 5 kinofilmen steht. hatte noch gar nix davon gehört und finde, der sieht doch mal recht fein aus. auf nett, mal wieder was mit Ethan Hawke zu sehen
Wirkt wie so eine Mischung zwischen Vampirfilm, Matrix und Wirtschaftskrimi auf mich. Dafoe find ich klasse, wirkt aber auf mich im Trailer wie eine "Stirbt-eh-bald"-Nebenrolle. Den Remix von Kate Bushs "Running up that hill" finde ich recht gelungen.
Rein vom Trailer her gesehen könnte das 1A-Popcorn-Kino werden - aber wer traut schon einem Trailer?
Habe deshalb noch mal ein wenig im Internet geforscht. Hier die Ergebnisse:
Zitat:
collider.com: (...)But “Daybreakers” is not like its current brethren - it’s a classic vamp movie that follows some beloved myths while also introducing the genre to a whole new world of deadly circumstances.(...)Campy laughs, serious storylines, scary creatures, blood, guts, and thrills - “Daybreakers” seems to have it all. And while it might not come together in a perfect package, it’s most definitely a fun package.
horrorsnotdead.com: (...)because the film has a lethal, gory seam to its bloodsucker proceedings, DAYBREAKERS is at its core a sci-fi film that happens to be about vampires. It also happens to be a pretty damned good film. Yes, it’s leagues better than their resourceful but lacking, low-budget zombie opus UNDEAD(...)Though most will surely laugh when Dafoe first begins to introduce himself as the overtly southern Elvis, he’s actually the most interesting character in the film, which is kind of a shame considering he’s not the main character. (<- da haben wirs ).(...)DAYBREAKERS is one hell of a memorable film. If you love all things vampires, you’re going to go apeshit for its ideas of an all-vampire world. If, like me, you’ve grown weary of our own real-world society that’s recently fallen back in love with the night walkers, DAYBREAKERS is thankfully unlike any other vampire property on the market right now.
variety.com: (...)Take the futuristic corporate malfeasance of "The Matrix" and the race to find the post-plague cure of "28 Days Later," add vampires, and you've got "Daybreakers,"(...)As a result, it becomes a movie that inadvertently asks the question: If you make vampires so ordinary that they're no longer scary, seductive or endowed with special powers, what's the point in having them at all?
Indeed, despite its fantasy trappings -- vampire-eye contacts, a cold, steely blue, black and gray "Matrix"-y look, etc. -- "Daybreakers" emerges as a competent but routine chase thriller that lacks attention-getting dialogue, unique characters or memorable setpieces that might make it a genre keeper rather than a polished time-filler. Reflecting their uninspired material, thesps deliver adequate clock-punching perfs, though miscast Dafoe's quipping yokel needn't be included in his resume. Production values are glossy; Christopher Gordon's orchestral score takes matters seriously.
denofgeek.com: (...)It's a nice mix of action, sci-fi and thriller, and the tension keeps up throughout. It's not perfect, and there are elements of the climax that are both predictable and cheesy, but I could have sat through much more of this. Indeed, the film's ending seems to scream 'sequel', and if they make it, I'll be there...
So, alles in allem lag ich wohl richtig: scheint gutes Popcorn-Kino ohne höhere Ansprüche zu sein, und die Meinungen über die Schauspieler gehen zwar auseinander, scheinen aber solide zu sein. Die Dialoge sind zu vernachlässigen, aber - und da gehe ich ebenfalls mit allen Reviews konform - wer sucht schon tiefschürfend-geistige Inhalte in einem Vampirfilm?
