Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor)
Saw this movie last night, and I thought it rocked. It was subtitled, but I don't mind them so it didn't bother me a bit. The story was very interesting and there were a few loops thrown in there, but the story had some weak points, especially towards the end.
It is the first chapter of a trilogy, so I assume that there will be more explanations in the second movie. Apparently the second movie, called Day Watch, has been made and was already released in Russia. Sadly, Fox is going to be producing the third movie.
There were vampires in the movie, but it wasn't really a vampire movie. It almost felt arbitrary that they were even vampires. Which was fine by me though, since the whole vampire theme has been trampled to death by Hollywood. Overall I enjoyed the movie, especially since it wasn't made in Hollywood. I'm just sad that Fox got their grubby little fingers on it and are going to produce the third movie.
