Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, discovers vampires are planning to take over the United States. He makes it his mission to eliminate them.

To cut a long story short, the film goes through the major events of Abraham Lincoln's life, from a young boy to the end of his life, each major event in his life was at the doing of vampires.

After a chance meeting at a pub Abraham is recruited by Henry Sturgess to become a vampire slayer, he moves town and begins to slay vampires, which starts to get himself noticed by the ruler of the vampires, who obviously wants to take over America.

The final battle is staged at the Battle of Gettysburg, can Abraham and his friends defeat the army of vampires and save America?

I enjoyed the film, it was better than i thought it would be! A part of me thought it might be a cheesy horror, but it wasnt if you take out the fact its Abraham Lincoln who's the Vampire slayer, it does stand up as as Vampire film on its own merit. Though these Vampires can go out in day light which annoys me, but at these they aren't glittery! 3/5! Well worth a watch!

Prometheus

A team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.

Its been deemed the 'Prequal' to Aliens, but i found it raised more questions than it answered. The whole journey home myself and my friend were trying to figure it out. If you refer to all the other films including the Predator films, it doesn't quite make sense.

If we take the film on its own merit, it was enjoyable though predicable in parts. A rich business man funds a trip two years away from earth for an explorer who is searching for god, but what are his motives?

Id go watch this film if your a fan of Science Fiction not cause your a die hard fan of Alien! 3/5
