If it wasn't for 3D, I would be more porridge

I chose this film because I watched the gorgeous trailer and Maggie Q when I watched God of War last week. I started to like Maggie Q many years ago, when she was a mixed-race model next to Edison Chen.

Three minutes before the movie started, I rushed into the screening room. When I entered the door, a handsome guy gave us the glasses with a smile on his face, "Please take them out after the screening", and suddenly realized that it was 3D again. Fuuuuuuuck, these days, people are very superstitious about high-tech, so theaters are also keen on 3D, and for a few weeks to watch movies in theaters, they are forced to wear these big SB glasses, which are blurred and rubbed several times with the corners of their clothes. It's still hazy all the time. Don't everyone like this hazy beauty that can't be seen clearly. During the viewing process, I couldn't help but take off my glasses several times to release my eyes. Thinking in my heart: If it were 2D, it would be great.

The plot of the movie is still very good, the war between vampires and humans, the people are confused by the authorities, the deported priests are alienated from the people and have a hard life. In the end, it was these priests who saved the ignorant church and the people. But the love relationship between Maggie Q and the male protagonist is a bit far-fetched. Is it necessary to intersperse various love stories in the movie? At various critical junctures, when the vampire kills the companion and hangs it up, when the three of them are looking for the vampire's den in the black hole together, Maggie Q can also express love in various ways. It seems that showing love has nothing to do with the time and place of the characters.

When all the brainwashed people flocked to the church to confess to the priest, the loudspeaker kept repeating "to go against church is to go against God", this scene reminded me that I was also brainwashed. Another stupid bunch of assholes.

Kind of looking forward to the sequel Empress to invade the city ruled by the Church. . . .

Priest quotes

  • Hicks: [Priest is carving crosses into bullets] What's with all the bullets? I thought priests didn't use firearms.

    Priest: We don't. They're for you.

  • Black Hat: The church teaches us that the eyes are the windows to the soul. And that since vampire evolved without eyes, it is a soulless creature, to be eradicated. And I have seen the soul of the vampire, and let me tell you that it is far more pure than that of any man. Now you ask me what I am. I am the bringer of the tide. I am the wave that will wash clean this unclean world. And you, and your Priest, will help me do it.
