DVD Reviews of Night Watch / Day Watch (Two-Disc Collection)
DVD Review: matrix + underworld + harry potter
Summary: 4 Stars
Ok, I'm not saying these movies are "must-see" material, but I finally checked them out on Netflix and I was pleasantly surprised. I had already heard of these movies almost a year ago, but I just never got around to them until now (that they've been released on BD).
They were both made by the same guy who made the movie Wanted this summer, the movie with Angelina Jolie & James McAvoy.
The reason I wasn't expecting much was because these movies happen to be action/sci-fi/fantasy foregin films and that's a very rare thing since most foregin films are low-budget and/or dramas. Plus, I don't think I've even ever seen a Russian movie before now.
So Night Watch is the first one and Day Watch the sequel.
I would loosely describe them as a cross between The Matrix, Underworld, and Harry Potter. I read that they're supposed to be 2 parts of a trilogy, but after seeing them both I have no idea what they'd do in a 3rd. To me these movies go with each other kinda like Kill Bill vol. 1 & vol. 2. Because together they make one solid story. Day Watch is virtually impossible to understand unless you have seen the 1st one.
But even though they are 1 continuous story, Night Watch has a much darker tone & ironically Day Watch has a more light-hearted tone (at times). And if you happen to watch the English dub version like I did, it actually works out pretty good b/c for once the English voices sound rather believable. (And the English subs actually match the spoken English dialouge). Since I'm sure this movie was made on a budget not even comparable to American films, I'd say the effects are rather impressive.
I would describe the movies further, but while on the one hand tjey seem rather original, they really does borrow a lot of their style, substance, and content from the 3 movies I mentioned earlier. Slick looking action scenes, hidden world within the human world, many supernatural happenings, and at times a complicated plot to follow with a lot of double crossing and hidden agendas. At times you almost have to take notes to keep up with the story.
So there you go, take it or leave it. Together I'll give them both a 4 out of 5. Check 'em out if you're in the mood for that kinda thing.
