SmbTn How awful this film is? The CGI is too much to the point it's horrible to my eyes, cliché dialogues and annoying shrieks made me want to jump over the cliff, the execution of the plot is so bad to the point it made me not to watch an another Van Helsing movie again, as it wasted my time to try to understand on what the hell happened in this movie. It's a big blur to my eyes. This is the first time where I hate this movie with a passion.

Leofwine_draca Yeah, Dracula 3000 is a schlocky mess, but I'm not quite sure it deserves to be in the IMDb bottom 100 films of all time. The premise, a sci-fi twist on the Bram Stoker novel, at least has a little originality going for it, and there are plenty of (unintentional) laughs along the way at the very least. This is bottom of the barrel stuff for sure, but I'd rather watch trash like this instead of something utterly dull and mind-numbing.The producers have assembled a B-movie cast for what is essential Dracula on a spaceship. Everything in the film has a futuristic spin APART from Dracula himself, who's just a wooden actor in old-fashioned dress with zero presence. There's plenty of action and bloodshed thrown into the mix here, all of it done on an exceptionally low budget, but the film is let down by an awful jokey script which dishes out awful line after awful line.Casper Van Dien (STARSHIP TROOPERS) headlines things as the ship's captain, who also just happens to be a descendant of the original Abraham Van Helsing. Udo Kier gets a kooky cameo via some video flashbacks. An ageing Erika Eleniak (UNDER SIEGE) hides an unusual secret, while Tommy 'Tiny' Lister is good value as the hulking hero. Worst of the group is Coolio, who delivers a performance so cheesy and stupid that you'll be praying for him to get off the screen. Unfortunately the director seems to love him...

babett3 Many years ago my boyfriend and I rented this movie from the Video Store. We like Sci-Fi and we like vampire movies so we expected an evening with nice entertainment. Well we did get entertained but not in the way we had hoped!We were totally flabbergasted by the whole experience. Everything about this movie is so extremely bad, we just kept watching it until the end looking for something that wasn't so bad. Guess what? We did not find it..The story could have been interesting but it was just lame and boring. The acting was bad. Most amateurs would have done a better job at it. The set, the costumes and the the make-up were so amazingly cheap. The same goes for cam-work, sound, light and "special effects".I wouldn't be surprised if this was a study project from some first-year students in Film School.All in all we did laugh a lot although I don't think this movie was intended as a comedy. Besides the fun was about "this joke of a movie" not what the movie had to tell...After all these years it is still the worst movie I ever saw!

robtwopointoh Never heard of this film before starting it on TMC on demand. Had I seen the reviews, I may have never had the opportunity to see what I will call, the worst film I have ever seen, including Troll 2. Dracula 3000 makes that bearable. This is my first IMDb review. I was compelled review this, even with my busy schedule, to warn people of the complete waste of however many minutes this film is, their life could be spent doing something better, like sucking boils from a homeless man's butt hole, for charity. 1 minute into the title sequence, I knew I was in trouble. It was a close up of what I could only guess was a blob of blood? For the entire sequence. My finger was poised on the remote for shutting it down in anticipation of B movie squalor. That is an insult to B movies!then I saw Erika Elaniak's name in the credits. I went to school with her so I decided I would watch a little to see how she was holding up. I also saw Casper Van Dien's name. His career hasn't been Pacino's but he has worked a bit. Can't be too bad, right? WRONG! Film schools should show this as an example of how not to make a film. I am a bit of an amateur film maker myself. I made a short, (awhile ago) written, shot, edited by and starring myself (and my mother's dog), but my 9 minutes short, shot while training myself how to use Sony Vegas editing software, for that sole purpose, was superior in many ways. I am not tooting my horn. I am really wondering how in the world something with a budget, albeit probably small, could be as bad as Dracula 3000! But I digress…Again, there are many bad points from the average movie goer standpoint but from a "filmmaker's" standpoint, it's probably worse. I will point out a few.The Set: This was either an abandoned Russian oil refinery or ship. The sea kind of ship, not the space kind. This was a film set in the range of years 2050ish to 3000. Interestingly, there was no effort made to hide this fact. Maybe the production/set designer had to take the day off for his kids little league game and they didn't want to lose their $200 deposit for the location?Acting: Yeah…I have seen 10 year old kids on YouTube make better films with better acting. Enough said there. Coolio SHOULD NEVER try to act. EVER! I won't even mention the other actors. I am surprised, Casper or Erika didn't just walk off the set early in the production for the sake of their pride, if not their 'career'. There's no way someone working on this could have possibly had illusions that this was going to be a decent film. I would have to blame the director. I have seen films where some of THIS cast was better. Not A-List good but better than this. Maybe the director was smoking some of Coolio's pot (which was one of the many poorly thought out, plot points of this film)?Sound design: Most people don't think of sound design. It's usually so well done, people who are not "in the know" don't even know someone spends countless hours creating Foley, sound effects,mixing and perfecting audio, etc. Anytime someone in this film runs,there is the sound of what literally I believe to be the sound effects from Donkey Kong, when Mario is running across the metal beams. If there was sound design (i was blissfully asleep by the end credits), I think they took a large pipe wrench and banged it against one of the large steel pipes in the space ship/factory/oil rig they were filming in and used one strike of the pipe as a footfall for the "actors" running across the steel floors.Screenplay: OMG! The dialog was terrible, racist, sexist, stereotypical, offensively bad. No thought what-so-ever was put into characters. They just went, "we cast a black guy so he will want to f*ck white woman and use dirty language and be disrespectful of whitey!", was their character development strategy. Costume: If you lookup "cheap Dracula costume", you will indeed find a better version of the costume than was used on 'Dracula' in this film. I swear! I did it myself. A large black cape, with a HUGE standing collar, probably twice the size of Bela Lugosi's and even Leslie Nielson's in Dracula: Dead and Loving It, and a white shirt that looked like it came from the thrift store used Tux section.I posted in groups on Facebook about how bad this film is: Someone asked me if it was worse than Terror At Blood Fart Lake. YES! Without a doubt. Blood Fart Lake deserves an Oscar vs. this!The only good that has come out of this film is the hilarious reviews and I wanted to be part of history in reviewing the worst film ever made. My 15 minutes?I could go on but I will leave you with this. As far as I know, this IS THE WORST film ever made. I haven't seen every film but I have seen a lot and many bad ones. Films like the aforementioned Horror At Blood Fart Lake was actually funny and meant to be. Zombie Ass: The Toilet Of The Dead -was a terribly stupid and ridiculous film but funny and meant to be. Dracula 3000 is actually meant to be serious, has zero redeeming qualities and is not funny.
