Daybreak (1993)

Daybreak

This movie is everything it was when I first saw it. I loved it then. It was so ahead of it's self. It reminded me alot of how AD|IDS was treated at first and what I could imagine the government could do if it wanted. Who knows. It could happen in the future. Cuba and Mora are excellent with each other. October 11, 2007

Nots as good as I remembered. BETTER.

One of Cuba Gooding Jr.'s most memorable performances to the few of us who've had the luck to see this movie. I was just a kid when it first aired, but I never forgot about the girl named Blue who loved a man enough to want to die for him... a man who was trying to open the eyes of the world, even though he himself was doomed and knew it.

This movie is so very underrated that I had to run a search for female characters named Blue to find it. I am extremely glad to have been able to track it down and purchase it, as viewing it as an adult has been an entirely different experience. I had very strange parents that let me watch R rated films from a very young age, so there were many things lost on me that first time, but I understood the plight, the fear, and the love... and what kept it alive in my mind for over a decade was the love.

Yes, it's an apocalyptic storyline, but that undercurrent of hope is what binds you to it and carries you through even the most heart-wrenching moments. This movie changed my life. Twice. September 3, 2007

Great HBO flick

I seen it a few months back then, to my dismay it was on again the same time as RAW, but instead I recorded it anyways. It does a very good job of creating a nightmare Orwellian future, without making the people seem too paranoid for the most part. The scenes of the President talking on TV were very powerful. It strongly reminded one of a "Big Brother lite." Yes there is violence and a love story and rebels risking their lives for a better future.

Some favorite moments: 1. The girls running out of the clinic 2. The guard and dog patrolling the quarantine 3. The rebel leader screaming for guards there was a negative present(which is punishable by getting shot on the premises) 4. The extremely moving ending and the new rebel leader Awesome flick you don't wanna miss, trust me.

cuba is the best

just as good as i remembered! I have spent 10yrs trying to find this film as i first saw it on sky tv. Everytime i described it to someone they tried to point me to Outbreak! Anyway basic plot outline is a good old goverment conspiracy and the good guys (cuba gooding jr and co) trying to outwit the bad guys (omar epps and cronies). The only problem that some might find with this film is the fact that its not as polished as the hollywood blockbusters but it is a made for tv movie. Overall i'm glad i managed to find this film as i really enjoyed watching it again. February 17, 2006

One of the Best Movies I accidentally happened upon.

This is one of my favorite movies. I love Cuba Gooding Jr. anyways but him and Moira Kelly had great chemistry in this movie an made a wonderful couple. It was sooooo good. But if I would have been her, I would have slept with him anyways and died with him because they had true love. I wanted her to sleep with him so bad and he wouldn't do it. April 20, 2005
