Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor)

You must see this. Unless you harbor a deep loathing for all possible forms of modern-setting fantasy, I guess.

OK, some bullet points:

* Magic of the sort I like to see in fantasy -- expensive, hurtful and weird. (Coz if it isn't, why don't that world's people use it all the time, eh?) And brilliantly depicted, too.

* They decided to have fun with the subtitles, and it actually works.

* Among one character's powers is the ability to play prophetic video games.

* The most visceral fun I've had in a movie theater since I don't-know-when.

Now go. Fly, my children
