DAYBREAKERS
Recommended. The film starts where others end. It appears standard in Hollywood that when an epidemic decimates the human population the movie will end with the last few survivors doomed unless... and this is where "Daybreakers" takes over the story. 10 years after the outbreak vampires have dominated the world. They factory-bleed humans like milk cows. They can't imagine their daily coffee without blood. The future world is so meticulously portrayed that you see them driving cars in a daytime mode, you hear about infected animals causing forest fires when they come out in daylight. Both animals and humans are nearly extinct in result of the vampires' insatiable thirst. Just a few years earlier becoming a vampire meant survival, now they are days away from their own extinction. Desperation grows. And vampires are ruthless. The perfection of the film lies in details. Whoever says it's just gore and explosions, wasn't watching carefully enough.
In the meantime, I've returned to Poland and have failed to find any cinema offering an unlimited pass. I've decided to limit my movie-going to films in which special effects make a difference between the big screen and the small screen which in practice means science fiction. But I crave my daily cinema like a vampire a doze of blood. Help!
