Description:
Like The Matrix, Day Watch combines cutting-edge digital effects and mind-blowing action to create a stunningly original world. This Unrated Edition takes you on an even wilder ride with more intense thrills and incredible effects.
Only one thing stands between peace and Armageddon: the supernatural agents of Day Watch, who fight to control the armies of light and darkness. When the son of a senior Day Watch officer turns to the darkness, forces beyond the imagination are unleashed and the fate of the world hangs in the balance!
Amazon.com:
The dizzying supernatural Russian epic started in Night Watch continues with Day Watch, in which once again the battle between the forces of Light (the Night Watch) and Dark (the Day Watch) threatens to crack open the world as we know it. The plot centers around Anton (Russian superstar Konstantin Khabensky), an Other (one of many beings with varied supernatural powers) whose son, Yegor, has joined the Day Watch, who are grooming him to be their superpowerful savior. Anton's protoge, Svetlana, also has high-capacity power, and if Yegor and Svetlana come into conflict, the resulting devastation could shatter everything. The key to success seems to lie with the Chalk of Fate, a simple piece of chalk that can rewrite reality. Day Watch is full of plotholes and underdeveloped story points (at one point, to keep him safe, Anton's consciousness is switched into the body of his Night Watch colleague Olga--but mere moments later the Day Watch knows what's happened, before any suspense could be mined from it; as a result, this promising plot twist seems only to exist to allow for some girl-on-girl action), but it's forgivable. As with the first film, Day Watch bubbles over with its wildly imaginative world, its ravishing style, and its fantastic visual effects. If a Hollywood blockbuster had half as much creativity, it would be praised to the skies and be the hit of the year. Don't let the subtitles put you off (particularly since even the subtitles reflect the movie's wit and imagination)--Day Watch is a cinematic feast that any movie fan should devour. --Bret Fetzer

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - style triumphs over substance
Timur Bekmambetov's "Day Watch" has the look and feel of a deliberately manufactured "cult phenomenon." This in-your-face, aggressively stylish sequel to the hit Russian film "Night Watch" tells a hyper-kinetic but largely incoherent tale of vampires from another dimension who keep crossing over into the "real world" to wreak all sorts of havoc on the people who live there. Anton and Svetlana are two law enforcement officials trained to combat these otherworldly terrorists.
It doesn't much matter if the story itself doesn't make a whole lot of sense, since "Day Watch" is really all about atmosphere and style anyway. The ginned-up editing, the frenetic camerawork, the subtitles dancing all over the screen, and the twisty/turny scenario involving shape-shifting, body-switching secret agents all add up to a full two-hours-and-eleven-minutes worth of migraine-inducing sensory overload (not unlike a Robert Rodriguez film on crack). Yet, for all that, the film is never boring and, indeed, all the visual and auditory stimuli makes it virtually impossible for one to tear one's eyes off the screen even for a moment.
Thus, "Day Watch" will probably satisfy the niche audience for which it's aiming. And even those with a lesser inclination for this sort of thing may find the movie watchable and even intriguing at times - even if it all does get to be just a tad much after awhile.
Rating:  - Great Film (Just watch it in Russian with subtitles)
If you don't like watching movies in subtitles, then don't get this movie. IT IS IN RUSSIAN. The English version of this is pathetic, so don't bother. Its a very good film, but not a masterpiece.
Rating: - Can't wait...
I loved the movie in standard definition. I don't have a Blu-ray player yet but I just wanted to make sure that the minute I get one I'll have Day Watch in Hi Def ready!
Rating:  - Sloppy work
What a mess! Amazon should be ashamed for putting this out without warning that the entire film is a sloppy foreign work which looks like it was filmed with a hand-held video camera. The entire mess is subtitled, but the pace of the film is so fast, and the film so shaky, that you can't read the subtitles. I am aware that the "buyer should beware," but Amazon should give enough information to make an intelligent decision when we are shopping from the comfort of our homes. I watched 15 minutes of this disaster, and for the first time in my life, I want a refund.
Rating: - No animated subtitles on bluray
How can a studio release this film on hi-def and not include the coolest effect of the entire film - the animated subs? Anyone buying this is just encouraging studios to put out overpriced substandard releases - don't put up with it.
And even more bizarrely - their release of Night Watch doesn't have them either.
