To solidify its power, a planet-eater tracks down the only thing which could threaten it, the “matrix of power”, a device passed down from the leaders of a race of alien robots.

This was a deeply-moving movie for me as a child, though this impression was only possible because I grew up watching the original series. Re-watching this as an adult, it didn’t have anywhere near that impact.

Though I do still like it, I don’t know that I can recommend it, not just because it looks “old”, but because it requires so much context from the series. I think for the young these days this would look like a crappy old cartoon with decent, but old, rock music.

An unaged man without a memory is sent by a secret multifaith order of monster hunters as the last hope of a lineage doomed to purgatory unless they slay the lord of all vampires.

Not a great or bad movie, but still good enough to be worth watching. It’s mostly interesting because of its main character, and the rest of it is piecemeal and without particular substance.

I think this movie was my initial introduction to Kate Beckinsale, and it turns out she’s a lot hotter in my memory than in this actual movie. Maybe she was better-presented in the next movies of hers that I saw after this.
