The breakdown:  This is a futuristic, distopia, vampire story that's entertaining to watch.  "Priests" are specially trained Church warriors that have killed off most of the vampires threatening humanity, but one recent attack outside the safe city walls has called out a Priest to finish them off once and for all.

I heard this movie got terrible reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised.  I ended up really enjoying it.
In the beginning we are told there have always been vampires, always been people, and they have always fought.  Vampires are vicious hunters and are able to tear people up in nothing flat, and no human can beat them.  Then the Priests come along.  They are human's who are hand picked by the church to train to be the best vampire fighters we can muster.  They are a small, but powerful group of warriors who fight and kill most of the vampires.  The ones that are left, go off into the wastelands to live underground and are no longer considered a threat.  In the first opening scenes in the film, Paul Bettany is in a "hive" of one of the vampire groups and loses a fellow Priest.  This is important for a little later in the film.  Meanwhile, what's left of the world isn't much after the vampires have been controlled.  The wastelands are barren deserts with little to no life and inside the city walls, the church has a hold over everyone, where no one can ever leave and no one can turn there back on the church....because according them them - to turn your back on the church, is to turn your back on God.
At a wasteland outpost a family suffers a vampire attack, seemingly out of nowhere, at their home and the wife is killed.  The father is badly mauled and the daughter is abducted without being harmed.
Well, back in the city there's only a handful of Priests left since they are pretty much not needed anymore.  One Priest in particular (Bettany) has a visitor who says Bettany's brother has been attacked and his niece has been kidnapped.
The Priest goes to the church council and asks to be allowed to go look for them.  He is denied and told that vampires are not a threat and that bandits must've committed the crime.
The Priest defies the church and leaves the city limits on a cool motorbike to go to his brother's house.  Upon arriving there he is met by the man who told him of the attack originally.  This turns out to be a  lawman who was the love interest of the kidnapped girl.
Meanwhile, the church sends the remaining and only 4 Priests to track down Bettany and bring him back dead or alive.
Bettany's brother dies and Bettany and the lawman go off in search of the girl following what leads they have.  Eventually, one of the Priests finds Bettany.  A female Priest who seems to have a deep love for Bettany. 
I'll stop there because for the movies I think are worth something I usually stop before I ruin things for you.
If you want to know what happens next, you'll have to see it.
I really enjoyed it and thought it was a good movie worth seeing.

If you like sci-fi or vampires and have an open mind you should enjoy this one.

I give it a 3 out of 5 for solid acting, an interesting plot, some really cool props, and good special effects.
