Irritating drivel

Rating: 1/10 (20 October 2019)

This is what you get when some genius with no talent for filmmaking cpmes up with the idea to do The Matrix with vampires. And werewolves. And lots and lots of CGI. Most of it not very impressive.
The screenwriters seem to think they don't actually need compelling characters or an involving story to have a film. Don't get me wrong: the story is there, but it's a convoluted mess that confuses the audience with endless exposition, while providing no emotional payoff of any kind. We just don't care about these characters, and frankly, we don't even know what is at stake. Who is on whose side? Who knows what? What's the motivation of the protagonists? Good luck trying to figure that out. By the way, half the film consists of annoying flashbacks that pile up tons and tons of new information. Did a vampire film have to be so convoluted? How about a simple story, but one that makes people feel something?
If someone asked me to summarize the plot in a few sentences, I couldn't do it. It's too complicated. And I didn't understand anything anyhow. And does the main protagonist have any emotions whatsoever? I have seen video game characters with a more distinct range of emotions.
P.S. There is even a sequel to this. Or was it more than one sequel? Who wanted to see more of this nonsense?
