The premise

In the year 3000, the deep space salvage ship Mother III locates the vanished starship Demeter in the Carpathian System. Captain Abraham Van Helsing and his crew composed of the blonde assistant Aurora Ash; the crippled navigator Arthur "The Professor" Holmwood, who believes that he is a genius; the strong and dumb Humvee; the intern Mina Murry; and the drug addicted 187, decide to claim the possession of Demeter. While exploring the spacecraft, they see a tape of fifty years ago of Captain Varna telling that he was locked in his cabin since his crew was acting weird after getting a cargo of coffins in Transylvania station. When 187 decides to search in the coffins for some possible hidden dope, he cuts his hand and his blood awakes Count Orlock, a.k.a. Count Dracula. When Aurora discloses who Dracula is, the survivors try to find a way to destroy the vampire.

Horror Vault's take

A thousand years from now, a ragtag salvage crew makes a fateful mistake when they board an eerily silent derelict vessel drifting through the Carpathian System — and disturb something that has been waiting in the dark for a very long time. Drawing on the bones of Bram Stoker's classic mythology and transplanting them into the cold vacuum of space, Dracula 3000 pits a dysfunctional crew against one of horror's most iconic predators with nowhere to run and no one to hear them scream. It's a B-movie genre mash-up that leans hard into its pulpy sci-fi horror premise and an eclectic ensemble cast.
