Vampire Wars: Battle for the Universe

Movie: Vampire Wars: Battle for the Universe (2005)
(aka Starship Troopers 3: Vampire Wars, which we nicknamed it because it's about people in space shooting stuff and has Michael Ironside in it.)

Watched with: John and Angelo

You know, I'm not going to try to convince you this is good, or even reall enjoyable, but Dracula 3000 set the bar for space vampire movies so low that I couldn't help but appreciate this one in contrast.

In the opening narration, the guy explains that humans discovered lots of lifeforms in space but "most of it was vampiric" so now Earth is an giant corporation that kills vampires. I'm not sure if the corporation was bad or the vampires were bad or both.
I kind of stopped paying attention.

I watched the DVD making-of featurette and the director talked about how he'd had the idea for years before finally getting to do it, and how much he loved the cast. Then the cast all explained their characters. The sexy vampire chick said her character was "very human".
I wonder if they were dissapointed by the finished movie, or if it was everything they hoped.
