An average movie

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since Nick, my step-son, is a huge fan of vampire movies (good or bad, it doesn't really matter to him...), I thought I should check it out with him. And, indeed, the whole thing was pretty lame. Basically, it is a very weak mix of various genres from the vampire stuff, to SF, with Western influences, some religion and there is even room for some Mad Max chases. Obviously, especially considering the short running time (not even 80 minutes), it was just way too much too handle and the whole thing was just really underwhelming. I have to admit though, it was visually interesting and there were a few good ideas but they were poorly developped and, above all, I was bored during the whole thing. And what the hell happened to Paul Bettany?!? At the beginning of the 2000's, he emegerd as one of the most talented actors of his generation but if you move forward 10 years later, he hasn't done anything remotely amazing, expect maybe snitching Jennifer Connelly. I mean, he already played the lead for another movie directed by Scott Stewart, 'Legion', and it was already a critical and financial failure so it would have been really surprising if their second outing would have been really amazing. To conclude, it is yet another uninspiring vampire feature and it is not really worth a look, I'm afraid.
