Daywatch is just as incomprehensible under more favourable viewing conditions.

I hear they're still planning to make a third movie; I have no idea what they're going to put in it, since the second movie is a departure from book canon on the order of a sudden downpour on Arrakis.

I heartily recommend the books, though; they actually make sense. If they have a genre, it's "Soviet bureaucracy urban fantasy", something I think my cultural brethren and cousins write better than anyone else. ;) I don't know if that vibe really comes through properly in the movies.
