DVD Reviews of Night Watch / Day Watch (Two-Movie Collection)
DVD Review: Night Watch in Russian - available from Amazon UK
Summary: 4 Stars
These are both great films but for some crazy reason the American version of Night Watch is not available with a Russian sound track. If you want to get Night Watch in Russian then order it from Amazon UK - the soundtrack is in Russian and there are subtitles in English and the Scandinavian languages. Also the European version has an extra character who has been cut from the American version. You will need to have an "all region" DVD player to play this as the discs are Region 2 (Europe and Russia). If you have an old DVD player then it will play as all region, they have only had regional DVD players in the US for about 4 years. If you have a Cyber Home DVD player then it can be converted to all region by checking the internet for the code to type into the player. Americans are the only people who have to put up with this regional stuff introduced by Hollywood; everyone in Europe just converts their players to "all-region" so they can play DVDs from anywhere in the world. DVD Review: Nowhere near as good as I thought it would be.
Summary: 2 Stars
I am going to preface this with the fact that I think the books are absolutely amazing. Easily in my top 5 for fiction. I just watched this about an hour ago with my dad, and he had absolutely no idea at all what was going on in the movie. They cut out or changed a lot of the parts in the book that actually explain what the story is about. Movies have to cram a lot of material into an hour and half, I understand that. The problem is that...its almost like the director couldn't keep a coherent thought on what he wanted to do. It wouldn't be that bad if the acting had been at least decent. And I cant figure out why everyone is raving about the special effects. The truck driving around Moscow is just fast forwarded film, and it shows...horribly. Anton constantly mumbles so you need to turn the volume up very loud. As soon as its loud enough to hear what he is mumbling the special effects are deafening. Its an embarrassing movie to watch. I actually had to explain the whole story to my dad after we finished the film, since the movie could not.DVD Review: Papa Squirrel
Summary: 5 Stars
These two movies were fun to watch. It is always interesting to watch foreign films. There was a lot of action, but not too much. The plot and storyline were original. Great package for a movie buff!!
DVD Review: Day/Night Watch Cool concept
Summary: 3 Stars
The film is quite good. Better that I expected for a foreign fantasy film.
I suggest getting the two DVD pack to view the whole story.
I believe there is a third component in book form available as well.
Special effects are good, but too few. The car racing across the front of a building was very good.
I bought this because the concept of a truce between the forces of good an evil maintained in today's world intrigued me.
The characters are interesting.
But I must say that I was lost looking for the motivations behind some of the characters.
I attribute this to cultural differences.
I think a Hollywood remake would make it a major film.
DVD Review: Great import!
Summary: 5 Stars
Night Watch/ Day Watch are vividly choreographed Russian action horror/thrillers with vampires and shape-shifters. It's similar to the Matrix with in-between worlds unseen by mere mortals and the never ending theme of good versus evil where the line between is not clear cut. The characters are flawed, creepy and sometimes humorous. Watch them in sequence to make sense of the story line, but definetly watch them.
