a5c7b9f00b As his kingdom is being threatened by the Turks, young prince Vlad Tepes must become a monster feared by his own people in order to obtain the power needed to protect his own family, and the families of his kingdom. At the turn of the century, the young lord Vlad and his family live a peaceful life ruling over their small kingdom, but when a Turk warlord demands from Vlad a thousand boys and his son to create an army Vlad seeks a terrible power that will allow him to protect his kingdom and family from the Turks at a terrible cost. My Thoughts: This is one of those fall movies that I have been looking forward to. I have read Bram Stokers Dracula as a teenager. I love Vampire stories. Unfortunately in this day and age we have had so many retelling of the Dracula story as well as an influx of Vampire stories that almost any original plots are left out there.<br/><br/>What they are trying to give us here is a look at Dracula Origins. Vlad was forced to train as a Turk soldier as a kid and rose to have a fearful reputation as Vlad the Impaler and finally earned his freedom to go back home to Transylvania. For ten years there was peace between the Turks and Transylvania with the occasional submitting of tribute. But then things changed and the Sultan wants Transylvania to send their kids to once again become soldiers in the Turkish Army. Of course this does not sit well with Prince Vlad and he is determined to find a way to protect his family and country.<br/><br/>I am not going to sugar coat it for you the story is weak and the choices made are really made to push Vlad into becoming the man we know him to become. There are just some ridiculous moments in this movie where you just have to blink and go that wouldn&#39;t work in the real world (Yes I know I am watching a Vampire movie) or smart people making a decision that goes against what they have been preaching for most of the movie.<br/><br/>But what this movie does have going for it is the special effects. I loved how they showed Vlad getting accustomed to his new found powers, it wasn&#39;t &quot;oh look I can now crush a rock&quot; but an amazed &quot;oh now that is useful&quot; kind of thing. And we get the full range of Vampire powers from strength, to animal control, to transformation. As well as his many weaknesses.<br/><br/>This movie is ballsy as well in that they did set themselves up for a sequel so they are already thinking ahead.<br/><br/>My Recommendation:<br/><br/>If you want to see this in the theaters catch an early show. There&#39;s nothing new about Dracula Untold. Unfortunately, it&#39;s just another film that favours spectacle and style over substance. With a film clocked in at a mere 85 minutes (excluding credits), the story is just not compelling enough for the audience to invest emotionally in what happens next. There&#39;s simply not enough time and everything felt rushed without proper character development.<br/><br/>In the beginning of the film, we&#39;re swiftly introduced to our main character, Vlad the Impaler with a series of montage about his background, what he did for the Turkish empire and why he was renowned for his brutality in warfare. Basically, he&#39;s a 15-century Transylvanian prince infamous for his practice of impaling his enemies to induce fear and ensure the safety of his people and kingdom. Unfortunately, the Sultan of the Turkish Empire demands 1000 of the young boys in his kingdom to join his army to conquer Europe. Unable to comply, outnumbered and face an imminent threat from the Turkish army, he decides to make a deal with an arch vampire demon, Caligula, at a price, to grant him power to destroy his enemies.<br/><br/>The action scenes are stylish, cool and surprisingly not too violent, scary or gory, which fits the intention of establishing Dracula as an anti-hero instead of a frightening monster villain. The best action scene is where we get to see Vlad summons a colony of bats to defeat the 10,000-strong Turkish army during the climactic battle. It is truly a sight to behold but ultimately it fails to impress as everything just happens too fast.<br/><br/>There are some fine performances from its actors, especially Luke Evans. He did the best he could in a film with a bad script. Many of the supporting characters are severely underdeveloped and completely forgettable. We don&#39;t know much about them aside from watching them appear on screen talking a few lines here and there before getting killed. None of them have enough screen time for their characters to make a memorable, lasting impression on screen, including the main antagonist, Sultan Mehmed II. We&#39;ve being told that the Sultan and Vlad were close like brothers and yet we never get to see this relationship on screen at all. We don&#39;t know much about him at all. Not to mention, even the origins of Caligula, the vampire demon who sired Vlad is quickly briefed through without slowing down.<br/><br/>The film never bothered to fully explore its premise...the ultimate price Vlad had to &#39;pay&#39; (his humanity) for becoming a vampire to save his people, family and kingdom. It doesn&#39;t truly show what a &#39;monster&#39; he had become in order to win the war against the Turks. Furthermore, the film doesn&#39;t take time to establish the characters well. Because of that, the film has lost its potential. Overall, Dracula Untold is just not worth the price of admission. A forgettable film.<br/><br/>Rating: 5/10 Too much of the last hour is a muddle of unconvincing, hard-to-read nighttime action scenes.
