Night Watch / Nichnoi Dozer / Russia / 2004
Perhaps I’m just naive, but I spent much of Bekmambetov’s apocalyptic film reading what I assumed was a novel, only to discover that the text was, in fact, the DVD’s only options for English subtitles: For the hearing impaired. The descriptions—[laughing], [mosquitoes buzzing]—and dialogue filled half the screen, and I feverishly pressed and re-pressed the Subtitles button on my remote, hoping I’d missed something. I couldn’t understand why it came with every other conceivable language except plain English, until I remembered the DVD’s other side was a dubbed version. And those were my choices—viewing the film through a dismembered screenplay, or listening to half-assed vocal performances. (I, as an ardent and arrogant traditionalist, chose the former.) Still, that aside, this was an annoying mess of special effects and predictable plot turns, not to mention an incredibly pessimistic script based on the first book in Sergei Lukyaneko’s tetralogy. Still, major props to whoever designed the subtitles, as they were an entertainment in themselves.
