These vampires don't sparkle, they esplode!

Daybreakers.
Look at the trailer.
Ethan Hawke is a vampire, Willem Dafoe isn't, Sam Neil is a CEO, they live in a world where humans are endangered.
There's vamp vs human fighting.
AWESOME! Right?

Yeah...
Well...
When a film begins by using a bat's scream as a jump scare, then at the end, oh, and one in the middle for no reason, you begin to question, is this just gonna be stupid moments like that, no relation to a plot, just loud noises from silence to 'scare' people?

Mostly yes, that and some poor dialogue that tries to resemble a plot and then disappears 40 minutes in and changed for series of events that contain vampires running around with guns hunting humans, and then a finale.

And none of these moments seem to have anything useful or relevant after a more slow burn of an opening 40 minutes where it almost tried to make you care about the characters.
Of course, the worst offense is suddenly leaving bad ass Willem Dafoe out, only for him to re-appear as some sort of cheap back up with horrible lines, nothing bad or assy about his presentation, and all round fail here is saved by 3 very cool actors, what a shame as the potential outweighs the end result.
