Clearly I wasn't in the target audience for "Vampire Academy". This movie is clearly aimed at a young audience who is still starstruck because of "Twilight" and seeing vampires as something of a pop culture phenomena.
The story is about vampires - well, sort of in the sense that they need blood to stay alive. There are two species of these blood-drinkers, one good, one bad (duh!). Having run away from the vampire academy, the princess of vampires is living in the mortal world with her dhampir protector. But the people from the academy soon catch up with them, and they have to go back to the academy. But a war is brewing and a conflict is lurking on the sunless horizon.
Storywise, then I guess "Vampire Academy" was adequate if you are in the particular target audience. I, however, found it to be laughable and stupid.
The effects in the movie were good, I will say that much. But it just didn't cut it enough to lift up the movie for me.
As for the people on the cast list, well, people were doing good jobs with their given roles.
"Vampire Academy" is another addition to the teenage vampire fanatic wave that was sparked with "Twilight", despite the movie even throwing a punch at the sparkly vampires in "Twilight".
If you are a teenage girl, then by all means go for this movie. Otherwise, it is not really worth the time and effort.
