Overrated theme: Humans deserve to win for the sake of .. being human.
Tons of effin spoilers.
I would like Daybreakers more if it made any sort of sense (though it had nonstop lols). I know. It’s a fantasy sci fi thriller of some sort not to be taken too seriously. But given the lengths they went through to create a sense of realism (‘blood’ coffee cart, vampire ads, underground tunnels, etc), come on…wtf with the glaring plot holes and nonsensical decisions.
After a 10 minute montage of what the now majority vampire world is like (organized, clean, high tech), we meet Edward (Ethan Hawke) who is a bitch assed, emotional, impulsive, pretentious blood doctor that sympathizes with the humans. He refuses to drink human blood and is still bitter about being ‘forced’ to turn into a vampire. Pansy. I guess he would have rather went into hiding with the other 10 humans in the world snacking on randoms leaves and bread and fearing for his life… you know. Instead of having a job, maintaining regular life, living forever and living in a pimp ass condo.
That sorta sets the tone for the rest of the movie. You get ZERO reason on why human society was so great and why it deserves to be jump-started? Obviously humans were not strong enough to survive so let nature take it’s course. What is the incentive? What is the motivation? Why is Ethan Hawke so pissed off? It’s like siding with the good guys on the sheer fact that they are the ‘good guys.’
As a result of the movie plot not being thought out, their protagonist’s ‘plan’ was stupid ridiculous. Upon finding the ‘cure’ for vampirism - which was burning in the sun and then getting wet (WTF) - he realized that any vampire that bites a former vamp is also going to turn into human. His brilliant plan was to allow the vampires to bite reformed vamps and turn human and then other vamps biting the reformed vamp and so on spreading a worldwide epidemic.
Right.
Did he realize that his friend already found a blood substitute for human blood and that maybe vampires and humans can coexist? What is the point of turning everyone back into a human? Do you know how much it takes to rebuild a society? How were they going to grow food all of a sudden? How did he think the humans were going to survive even without the vampire aspect? Desperate times would have called for barbaric needs and silly humans would have fought amoung themselves in name of survival.
And…. what about those remaining creatures that lived under the subway? Good luck humans. (or hello sequel?)
If he was smart, he should have laid out a 10 year plan. Keep the smart vamps. The smart humans should have sold the retarded humans and let the vamps farm them for blood in exchange for protection.
*head explodes* :-/
