Dnevnoy dozor (2006)
North American Viewers - watch the first movie before you see this one
I saw a review for this movie from a critic and the plot seemed very interesting - so I decided to go to a screening expecting something good. Well, the visuals were amazing, no doubt in that, but the story...
So I read these boards, hoping to find some answers, but apparently all the answers are in the first movie: which isn't very helpful when I just paid to go see the sequel.
I've read some of the reviews, but it seems everyone is all hyped up about this film - the exact opposite of what I've experienced. The first 10 minutes I thought were good, they sort've outlined what was going on - and then it crashed and burned into a twisted entropy of randomness (which I am guessing was explained in the first movie).
The problem I have is that the story didn't help anyone who didn't see the first movie - which is a bit humorous because no where did I see to go see the first movie before watching this movie - or at least a plot explanation in the introduction. Especially since I thought this was a stand-alone movie, but was sorely mistaken.
So all in all, I guess the point of this comment is that if you live in North America - go see the first movie before seeing this one - otherwise, if you like staring at the movie screen bewildered while your mind tries to figure out what happened 10 scenes ago - then by all means, go to this movie without seeing the first one.
