      @@omegarugal9283 it only shows that that specific universe couldn’t exist long term as writtena.
      More logically, the Vamps should have also lost our “morality” towards genetically modifying & breeding humans into a better food source, or abusing certain ones for “delicacies”, like we do Geese for Foie Gras.
      Say… only breeding taller thinner people, who naturally have more marrow per/kg to replenish their blood faster. A fact which makes those body types more efficient blood donors today.
      Or, flat out treating us like chattel property with our current cattle farming practices but for blood instead of milk. Like drugs&hormones to make women’s bodies believe they are pregnant so their bodies are always in the “building a person” loop for more efficient blood production. Genetically modifying other animals like Pigs, Monkeys, and apes to be human-animal hybrids for “supplemental blood production.”

    Things I loved in this movie:
    1. A civilized vampire society
    2. Scarcity of blood makes a vampire monstrous
    3. There is a vampire who sympathizes with humans
    4. A choice to be a vampire
    5. A vampire's suicide is his rebirth as a human
    6. A rebirthed human is a cure to vampirism
    Awesome, awesome movie!

      I think human blood is the most susitainable for them bc they used to be human and drinking human blood keeps them from de-evoloving. And in this vampires ARE NOT immortal. They can live longer IF they drink human blood but at most theyre immune to human diseases. If they dont have it they start to de-evolve into sub vampires which become more bat like. Their obessions probably stems from their very human greed and very unhuman lack of care for the people theyd need to get more from. Its this mentality that theyre invincible and immortal that put them in this spot

    Daybreakers was a film that I was happy to get the moment that I could after it came out. The premise was great, although the ending was kinda lackluster and felt forced without any real conclusion to besides "heroes drive away in the sunlight." It's great to see good scifi and horror filmmakers create a great world to go along with their premise.

    I like that they put effort into molding the design of the world around the vampires instead of just going with a “everything is the same but they do stuff at night” approach. While I haven’t seen the movie, I assume there had to have been a time period where vampires and humans worked in the same areas, and one could not always be just moved to the night shift. Hospitals had to stay open 24/7. Again, haven’t seen it, so feel free to correct me, but I assume immortality doesn’t prevent non-sun related injuries. And the vampires here appear to act mostly like humans, and humans don’t just stay in our houses when the sun is down. Really shows the work put in here.

    It is very interesting to think about. If you had the choice, to join what will soon be the majority of society in immortality and vampirism but also know that eventually, there won’t be enough blood to go around or to retain what’s left of your humanity and live, along side the light but also be hunted for the rest of your life. It’s an extremely difficult decision that I can’t help but think: what would I do in that situation?
