Priest 3D

Movie: Priest 3D

Genre: horror

Synopsis: This movie takes place in the future.  Mankind had nearly been overrun by vampires.  They were saved by Warrior Priests - priests who were trained to be something like ninjas.  These priests managed to drive the surviving vampires into guarded prisons.  Most of mankind now lives in walled cities that are run by the Church.  The area outside the cities is considered to be wasteland.

“Priest” (Paul Bettany) is one of the few surviving Warrior Priests.  When his niece is kidnapped by vampires, the Church refuses to acknowledge that vampires are still a danger.  Priest is forced to go rogue and leave the city in search of his niece.  The Church retaliates by sending other Warrior Priests out to terminate “Priest”.

My two cents: A pretty good vampire movie.  Some really great fights, some decently creepy vampires, a satisfying evil Church hierarchy, Paul Bettany’s character was a great hero, Maggie Q played a sexy but deadly Priestess . . .  and there was a fabulous climactic train chase. I left the theater thoroughly satisfied.
