OK, I am no fan of those horror/suspense/gore-filled movies, but since I got a free movie pass for the premiere this evening and it starred Josh Hartnett, I figured I'd give it a try.
Well, all I can say is 30 Days of Night is one movie that I ain't going to waste paying thirteen bucks for! As soon as the opening scene unfold something in my gut told me this would be one of 'em movies where it would be slow paced and just...well, okay, so I am into vampires, but jeezums! The vampires I had in mind are the likes of Angel, Spike, and Louis -- I didn't want anybody looking like the Master from Buffy the Vampire Slayer!!!!
I have to admit that out of those hottie heartthrobs that emerged in the early 2000s, Josh Hartnett was one of 'em fine actors who can do comedy, drama and action and...hey, he's got good facial expressions! Except I didn't like him much in Hollywood Homicide 'coz I don't think he was given any justice there when he took on the role as one of the two cops in that movie.
Anyway, I digress.
The movie, overall, was quite predictable. Some scenes already spoke volumes on who was going to die next, but it was prolongued to another scene. And the sacrifice Evan made was...well, really, it was their only way out of that mess. But the final 'battle' scene between Eben and the head of the vampire coven that took over a northern small town in Alaska was...well, the ending was very anti-climactic!
Now the ending scene leaves audience (at least I was) wondering what Stella, Eben's strange wife, would do after the events of the night before the first sun rise in 30 days.
Suffice to say, this was a complete waste of two hours and thirty-five minutes of my life. BUT (and my sis and two other companion who went with me to watch the movie) agreed that this movie at least had a steady plot line; it had a STORY unlike the other scare-the-pants-off-you gorefest movies shown recently.
