The first installment of a trilogy, this movie, by Timbor Bekmambetov, was said to be a big hit in Russia. So big that Universal [or some other movie company] bought over the rights to show it as soon as they could. (or so i heard.. laughs) WTH were they thinking?! *shakes head* It was honestly one of the worst films i've watched. I'm really not much of a critic of movies, cos i dont mind mediocracy in films. At e end of the day, just as long as the movies redeems itself slightly, its alright.

Nightwatch was seriously trying tooo hard to be like the Matrix, infusing themes like The One, with 2 sides [good vs evil.. duh~] forever in battle. And there will be a BIG battle to end it all. The good= [as always] human race while the evil= "race of monsters". Monsters being vampires. -___- How refreshing. There was zero climax to the show, all [3] the subplots ended as fast as it started. Plus, the directing style was weird, even messy as it incorporates the 'BOO' effect with 'chim-up-to-ur-own-interpretation' effects, together with flashing lights n screams. Thus my headache.... To me, it was just trying too hard.

This show is definitely NOT a show to watch. With such a disappointing start to e trilogy, i wonder who else would wanna watch e next... maybe except the Russians.
