m50d's Journal: A good film

Night Watch (no relation to the Terry Pratchett book of the same name), though not as good as the last film I saw, is a good film. The overstory sounds preposterous but works very well, the characters are possibly too grim but this makes them seem more realistic, and the action is well executed. The philosophy is impressive but also where the film falls short of greatness. Too many questions are left unanswered, and the upbeat conclusion is completely at odds with everything that lead up to it. The film asks us "why is light better than dark?", but doesn't even attempt to answer that, just assumes it is true.

Overall a good film, worth watching, but flawed and ultimately slightly disappointing.
