Priest Movie Download In Hd-----------------------------------------DOWNLOAD: http://urllio.com/qyd6p -----------------------------------------After centuries of war between men and vampires, the Church assigns warrior-priests to vanquish the vampires. The survivors are kept in reserves and hives and the humans live in chaotic cities ruled by the Church. The priests are outcast by the Church, afraid of the power of their fighting skill. When Shannon and Owen Pace, who live in an outpost, are slaughtered by vampires and their niece Lucy is abducted by the vampires, the local sheriff Hicks seeks out Owen's brother, the Priest, to search for Lucy. The Priest asks permission to Monsignor Orelas but he denies. So the Priest breaks his vows and travels with Hicks to track down the vampires and rescue Lucy before they turn her into a vampire. Sooner the warrior Priestess joins the Priest and Hicks in their quest.In a dystopian world, the church, in control of "civilized" society within the walls they've built, had once trained priests to combat vampires. That role of the priest was revoked when the church felt that the vampire problem was no more in having confined them. When teenaged Lucy Pace is abducted, signs being that abduction carried out by vampires, her uncle, a priest (hereafter referred to solely as Priest), is determined to find her before she becomes infected. In doing so, Priest goes against the church, which refuses to reinstate his authority as a vampire battler in not believing that there is a vampire problem and which states that in going against the church is going against God. Joining Priest in searching for Lucy is Hicks, a sheriff outside the church walls, he who is in love with Lucy, and Priestess, one of Priest's old colleagues with who he has a special bond. If they are able to find who abducted Lucy, they will discover that their adversary has past ties to them. In the process, a potential problem arises in deciding what to do if they find that Lucy has already been infected, Hicks who will not allow her to die under any circumstance, while Priest is willing to kill her in she no longer being who she was, killing her despite his closer tie to her than he divulges.Yes, I know, it's another postapocalyptic vampire movie. But at least it's based on a graphic novel (which can be seen in the prologue) and carries with it a plausible, intriguing backstory. Priest delivers more than it promises, reinvigorating a clichéd premise thanks to CGI wizardry and courageous characters, and pulse-quickening action scenes.
Here's your backstory. A long time ago, vampires attacked mankind. But mankind found a super weapon, namely priests endowed with special vamp- fighting skills. Mankind succeeded in defeating the vampires, relegating the survivors (and their familiars) to sealed-in prisons and such. The super-powered priests then were assimilated into society. But society, it turned out, would need them again. Fast forward years later, with many of the priests dead and gone and people living in walled-in cities ruled by religion, one that takes itself seriously and claims that the vampires are no longer a threat. Wouldn't be much of a movie if it were true.
When a certain Priest's niece is kidnapped (and her dad badly injured, and her mom killed) by vampires, said Priest (Paul Bettany) breaks his vows and goes after her, to the chagrin of the Church. He's joined by his niece's boyfriend (Cam Gigandet), who's also a sheriff, across the badlands of what looks like the Mojave Desert. They must venture into the prisons and hives of the vampires. And if you know anything about vampires, you know that they prefer the dark, meaning that most of this film is rather tough to see.
Luckily, the fight scenes are either lit by flashlights or take place in broad daylight between beings that are not vampires, which is helpful. There's also a train involved. I'm trying not to give away key elements of the plot here, but there are so elements anyway that it's a daunting task.
Naturally, our Priest isn't going to be allowed to just leave the walled city. No, the Monsignor (Christopher Plummer) has sent out four other Priests to bring him back. Probably alive, but who am I to judge? At any rate, one of them is the lovely Maggie Q, although technically she's a Priestess. She instead teams with the two men to find this elusive niece.
Here's a quick list of what I liked about the movie. Paul Bettany. Maggie Q. Karl Urban as the bad guy. The scene on the train. Those bad- ass motorcycles racing across the desert. The martial arts. But I'm glad I didn't see it in the theater. It's good, but it's not big-screen good. It's certainly not 3D good. It's better than your typical man-on-a- mission fluff, but mostly it's because of the relentless intensity that Bettany brings to his role. Reminded me of his part in The Da Vinci Code, although in that movie he was really the bad guy. I'm digressing.
Let's put it this way. Priest is better than Legion, which was about angels sent from heaven to destroy us all, and only One Man could save us. Not quite vampires, but same general idea. It's also better than Judge Dredd, which of course was set in a city that was controlled autonomously by "judges" not unlike the religious leaders here. So it's a matter of perspective.Not to be confused with the Linus Roache/Robert Carlyle drama, I saw the poster and DVD cover for this film a couple of times, with the leading actor with the crucifix on his face, I knew it was a scary movie, and the title made the concept obvious, and I was sure that I would agree with the critics low rating, I watched it regardless, from director Scott Stewart (Dark Skies). Basically in a post- apocalyptic world, centuries have passed and the war between humans and vampires still rage on, so the Church has assigned priest warriors to vanquish the vampires, one of these being the legendary Priest (Paul Bettany) who survived the last Vampire War and lives with the other downtrodden human survivors in the dystopian cities governed by the Church. Shannon (Mädchen Amick) and Owen Pace (True Blood's Stephen Moyer) are slaughtered by vampires in their outpost, and with them was the Priest's niece Lucy (Mirror Mirror's Lily Collins) who has been abducted by the creatures, local sheriff Hicks (Cam Gigandet), her boyfriend, calls on Own's brother, the Priest, to search for her. The Priest goes against his vows, and ignores having no permission from Monsignor Orelas (Christopher Plummer), and travels through the various dark places and uses his great fighting skills, accompanied by Hicks, and joined by warrior Priestess (Die Hard 4.0's Maggie Q) in their quest, before the vampires, led by a powerful and mysterious human called Black Hat (Karl Urban), will turn her into one of them. Also starring Brad Dourif as Salesman and Ugly Betty's Alan Dale as Monsignor Chamberlain. In the title role Bettany is I suppose as good as you can get, the other members like Urban and Plummer do fine as well, it is a pretty predictable plot, a priest who is a warrior and fights a lot and kills vampires, nothing really new about it, it has the right look for a dystopia set story, alright fight sequences, and the great special effects are nothing to complain about, but I couldn't really get into it much, it was a little dull and only a little exciting in parts, it is just a disappointing and almost pointless action horror thriller. Adequate!It becomes clear pretty quickly that the only real thought in the movie has gone into the cowboy-gothic costumes and the computer-generated effects.When the family of Owen Pace (Stephen Moyer), brother of Priest (Paul Bettany), is attacked by vampires, his wife Shannon (Mädchen Amick) killed, and their daughter Lucy (Lily Collins) abducted; Priest disobeys Monseignor Orelas (Christopher Plummer) and goes against church law to find Lucy before she is turned into a vampire. Aided by Lucy's boyfriend Sheriff Hicks (Cam Gigandet) and the Priestess (Maggie Q), the three follow Lucy's trail and come mano-a-mano against Black Hat (Karl Urban), an ex-priest who was captured by vampires and turned into a "human vampire" by the vampire queen herself. Priest is based on a Korean manhwa (graphic novel series), also titled Priest, by Hyung Min-Woo. An interview with Hyung in Priest: Volume 3 states that the comic was inspired by the video game Blood (1997) (1997). The manhwa was adapted for the screen by Cory Goodman. Priest is set in a post-apocalyptic alternate world in which vampires and humans have been warring for centuries. Facing extinction, mankind withdrew behind walled cities under the protection of the church. As its ultimate weapon, the church trained "priests" with extraordinary powers in the art of vampire combat. The majority of the vampires were killed, the remaining vampires placed in reservations, and the warrior priests assimilated back into society where they disappeared into obscurity. The train carrying Lucy and the vampire army continues to speed toward Jericho. While Priestess rushes ahead on her motorbike in an attempt to set a bomb and blow up the train, Priest and Hicks search the train for Lucy, battling vampires along the way. Hicks stops them by shooting holes in the ceiling, allowing the sunlight to pour in on them. "You would have made a good Priest," Priest compliments him. Hicks find Lucy, but Black Hat manages to knock him off the train. He then nails Priest to the wall, set the cabin on fire, and escapes with Lucy to the top of the train. Priest manages to break free and goes after them. As they run along the top of the train, they notice Priestess heading straight for them on her motorbike, which she has outfitted with the explosives. As the motorbike and train begin to explode, she jumps off the bike. At the same time, Lucy and Priest leap off the train, and it blows to bits, killing Black Hat and his entire vampire army. Priest returns to Cathedral City where Orelas is holding a church service. He tosses a severed vampire head at Orelas' feet, angering him into denying that there are any more vampires left. "The war is over," Orelas shouts. As Priest walks out the door, he replies, "No, it's just beginning." In the final scene, he heads out into the wasteland on his motorbike. He stops to talk with Priestess, who informs him that the other Priests will rendez-vous with him at Seven Cities. Designed for a broader rating (no nudity, one F-bomb), the action scenes in Priest were pretty close to qualifying for an R rating. To assure the PG-13 rating, some minor modifications of the images and the audio needed to be made, just like the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) demanded. In a couple of scenes, the CG blood has been reduced and colored differently. Furthermore, some obvious noises during the process of stabbing or some bones that get broken have been removed from the audio track. The fact that brutal stabbing itself is fine with the MPAA, as long as is doesn't sound that gruesome, made the director wonder. a5c7b9f00b http://www.miestokate.lt/en/news/view/id/256100 http://dolphin72.aqbsoft.com/m/feedback/view/In-Old-Santa-Fe-Full-Movie-In-Hindi-720p-Download http://callsell.in/m/feedback/view/SheRa-And-The-Princesses-Of-Power-Full-Movie-In-Hindi-Free-D http://mjsunifc.com/main/m/feedback/view/A-Loo-To-A-Kill-Full-Movie-Hd-1080p-Download https://diigo.com/0d676v http://lindwedcomp.yolasite.com/resources/Episode-1111-full-movie-download-in-hindi.pdf https://dinggidsaddnetri.wixsite.com/glutelathpo/blog/virtuosity-movie-download-hd http://telegra.ph/Turneja-Full-Movie-Download-Mp4-09-18 https://disqus.com/home/discussion/channel-stufismasima/free_download_ssgb/ http://bitbucket.org/retfiperssnor/retfiperssnor/issues/114/the-cassius-feeling-for-you-download
