Priest 3D

Priest 3D

priest 3d

Imagine, if you will, a world were human and vampire have warred since the dawn of time – only thing is, these aren't your usual vampires, because they would have won easy.

These are more big dumb monsters that live in giant hives rather than the sneaky human vampires, and while humans had technology and sunlight the vampires had strength and speed - until the Priests came along.

Super-ninja Matrix-style fighting men and women, they defeated the vampires and ushered in a new age of everyone either living in a big Blade Runner city or out in the wild west style desert that lay outside the city walls.

And with all that set-up out of the way (some of which is animated and looks pretty cool), the story proper can begin.

Don't get your hopes up though, as the story is a pretty straightforward: after the death of his brother and sister-in-law in what the religious authorities deny is a vampire attack, a former Priest (Paul Bettany) breaks Church law and rides off on his souped up motorbike to investigate.

Teaming up with the local sheriff (Cam Gigandet) and later on, with another former Priest (Maggie Q), they soon uncover a vast vampire conspiracy that will destroy the city unless they can… stop a train?

While none of the pieces of this puzzle are remotely original – you’ve seen everything here before and done better besides – Priest keeps the run time short and the knock-offs coming fast so, if nothing else, things never get dull.

Which isn't something you can say about a lot of mid-level action films these days.
