Daybreakers

If you haven't heard of it, its a film starring Ethan Hawke about vampires.
Short story is that a bat bite mutilated to a virus that is passed on through a bite, those who aren't affected are given a choose to to turn or became food. Ten years on the human blood supply is almost exhausted and people are hungry and the starving turing into humanised bats (subhuman).
It started out okay until their was a silly shot of Mr Hawke not being seen in the car mirror because hes a vampire, very lame. A long story short he trying to find a blood substitute, hates being a vampire, meets a few humans who need his help to create a cure. Meets a former vampire, (William Defoe) who became human he becomes human himself most of the surviving humans are caught by a company who farm their blood, theirs now no blood left. Mr Hawke's character has a brother who rounds up humans for the company, bites Mr Defoe character and then becomes human. A bloody showdown happens at the company, when the company director is turned human, then ripped apart by his starving soldiers, the brother is bitten to death by the soldiers who then turn human and then are ripped apart by the others. Basically it ends with Hawke, Defoe and his lady friend surviving, the company have found a blood substitute but by then everyones starving and it ends with a crappy line "we have a cure," but you still have the virus, but your heart will beat.
Just about a 3 star.

While watching the trailers for this film, it seems that 2010 in the film world is the year of Armageddon, now not through nature now its man made. Im however are looking forward to see the The Wolfman, but for some reason I imagine Penelope Cruz to be in it not Emily Blunt.
