Story lineThe film starts in the Syrian Dessert, where the Vampires hope to find the one they have been searching for... Dracula (Dominic Purcell) and awaken him from his long slumber; They believe Drake will be able to put an end to the constant fear they live in by the hands of Blade.
In a sub plot the Vampires have managed to set Blade up by tricking him into killing a human which they catch on video. This leads to his imminent capture by the FBI and Whistler is killed in the preceeding shootout.
Blade is cuffed and drugged, rendering him helpless: Enter his saviours, The Nightstalkers a group of vampire hunters led by Abigail (Jessica Biel) who is Whistlers daughter and Hannibal (Ryan Reynolds), they are a fairly unorganised group who are surprisingly well equipped. They have been developing a virus that potentially could rid the world of Vampires for ever, the catch is they need pure vampire blood to complete it, and Vampire blood doesn't come any purer than Drakes.
Danica (Parker Posey) is the leader of the Vampires (until they awake Drake) and has been harvesting Humans for their blood, Blade and the Nightstalkers put an end to this by shutting down their plant, in what seems a somewhat slightly strange plot in the story.
The end of the film has Blade in a showdown with his most formidable adversary to date.

Score
The Music and soundtrack for Blade Trinity was co-composed by The RZA and Ramin Djawadi, it is very upbeat and Techno which you would think should suit the movie down to the ground, however I did not like it at all, with some of the music being totally horrendous, not much more to say on the score really.

Conclusion
As you will know if you have read my other Blade reviews, I rather like this series of movies, however, Blade Trinity is in my opinion the weakest of the three. This is due partly to the fact that the acting is seriously poor in certain parts of this motion picture, none more so than when Whistler (Kriss Kristofferson) is talking to Blade (Snipes) just after he kills the Human - what I find so hard to understand is how they let this happen, afterall the acting is pretty solid in the first two movies.
Another strange thing is the sub plots, they just seem to be there to pad out the movie, and hold no real meaning within the story, the whole film seems to judder its way to an unfulfilling end and there is an unpleasant lack of pace and direction.
Having said that the special effects are pretty amazing and the fight sequences well thought out and performed.
In the end however, David Goyer really does the Blade Trilogy no justice with this release, the only reason I would recommend this movie is to complete a collection of the trilogy and at the current price (£5.99 Here) it has to be worth it just for that.
