Russia's "NIGHT WATCH".
It is always pleasant to see a fantasy series made in countries other than the United States. Especially the special effects have their own characteristics. I especially feel that the origination of the beginning 12 years ago is very good. Of course, things in Europe are not as bright as American movies, and some parts are still a bit impatient. What I particularly like is the contemporary Russian reality that it embodies, subways, concerts, theaters, supermarkets, tunnels, etc.... In particular, it also puts some real-critical things. For example, there are "Nestlé ads" in supermarkets and poor old people. As the first part of the trilogy, it still conveys all the elements very well. Vampires also need licenses and supervision, a very new concept. Although the idea of ​​confrontation between good and evil and destiny and resistance is still somewhat old-fashioned.


Compared to the second part, it feels dull.

    In general, I feel that some plots are messy. The shooting of the story is not combined with the atmosphere of the narrative.

    The picture is really good, but I hate flies

Night Watch quotes

  • [Geser lies on the floor with a book, telling the tale of the Virgin of Byzantium, the origin of the Others, the Great War, and the prophecy of the Great Other]

    Geser: ...And so it will be, until a man emerges who is meant to become the Great One. And, if he chooses the side of Light, then Light will win. But, those, to whom the truth has been revealed, say that he will choose Darkness. For it is easier to kill the Light within oneself, than to scatter the Darkness around... The prophecies are coming true.

  • [Two agents of the Day Watch, in a shiny, black sports car, have found Vampiress Larisa wandering in the middle of traffic in a busy tunnel. Slowing the car to a walk, agent Alisa Donnikova pulls up alongside, and holds a jar pig's blood just out of Larisa's hungry reach]
