Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
二、美国黑白矛盾竟然已经激化到需要用这么极端的主题去纠正，最可怕的是，这是白人拍的；
不妨对标一下:真的要比概念的浪漫程度是吗🙂
五月北京电影院部分地区复工第一部院线观影。看豆瓣丹麦原版只有八十分钟，但卖拷贝这一版在剧情上着实拖沓。兄弟二人，老吉这个角色的人设是足智多谋，但事实呈现出来的这个效果则是手忙脚乱，黑人弟弟的爱家好男人人设虽然没有倒，但是在面对危机的处置方法则太过于唯唯诺诺。卖拷贝在大场景上从不吝惜自己的弹药，场面倒是不错，但是这升格镜头和航拍速降视角的滥用并没有使人感到那种迫在眉睫的窒息，反而更是加重了拖沓。
人设，剧情，桥段真的狗屎。博物馆里的航天飞机直接就能飞，十年不能飞的宇航员临危受命，不受人待见的小民科（无贬义）其实一直是对的，主角决定牺牲自己总会有人挡枪，主角前妻的新老公必死。特效还行，戴森球模型做的不错，就是强行史前文明真的尴尬。
也还行吧，动作戏自然是卖拷贝的强项，但是剧情还是较弱。
居然切切实实体会了一次过度摄影导致的影像泛滥
天上星球大战，地下速度与激情，重塑人类进化论，打造全新地月理论，浪漫陪转40亿年，人性挣扎情感落点齐活，震撼视觉盛宴，美丽国傻逼发核弹，惊天阴谋论害全家，兲巣好朋友送温暖，你不上映谁还配上映？扯淡，实在太TM扯淡了。
人工智能有了自我意识进而反抗人类，老套。月球是个巨型结构，这个设定有点儿意思。
看之前真的没想到会这么难看，毫无新意的故事配上毫无心意的动作场面，辅以迈克尔贝一贯的尴尬笑料和环拍镜头，整部电影带给我的只有喧嚣。看简介以为有三方混战，剧情反转啥的，结果真就追了大概一个小时的车，而且是那种最普通的追车戏，你哪怕学学《生死时速》呢。搞笑的是台词里还cue了导演自己的《勇闯夺命岛》和《绝地战警》，也不知道导演自己会不会因为不复当年而尴尬。
把你看过的所有阴谋论结合到一起，拍一个合集，就是这部影片了。灾难片的灾难尺度是要有一个上限的，当月球坠落+外星人攻击宇航员+AI叛变+人类起源：异形普罗米修斯+大海啸+陨石坠落+核弹危机一起发生的时候，灾难就变成扯淡了……月球都撞上大西洋了，英国应该都被海啸灭了，将军们还担心核弹辐射影响人类健康呢。反过来说，美国发射几颗核弹就能把月球炸碎，也是扯淡。地球大气层都破了……还能恢复……肯定是奇异博士的功劳！
三人驾驶飞船冒险进入月球深坑的时候，还算部好片。
剧情台词也全部稀碎，从一开始就不明所以的奇怪配乐真的是有点啥大毛病，结尾处慢镜头＋洒狗血真的是看得我尴尬癌都发作了
虽然现在导演说再也不想拍灾难片了，但是感觉他在拍这个片子的时候，还是挺怀念自己在拍 2012 时获得的成功的。于文文并不非常酱油，还有点小意外。
不得不承认救护车在河里飙加上俩直升机在后面追还是算有创意了…看之前就知道全程追逐戏，但没想到故事还挺drama挺刺激，虽然bug多到数不清…而且想要表达刺激不一定非要全程摄影机抖得跟癫痫似的，有没有考虑过晕车观众的感受啊(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻最后一幕挺意味深长，即使是因为抢银行而被逮捕而受伤，他的妻子仍然爱他，被他误伤的警察也说是他救了自己，急救员也把偷偷带出来的钱给了他老婆。你说在这个故事里到底谁是坏人呢？其实好像不存在，甚至是疯得最厉害的丹尼也会为了弟弟把小流氓的窝端了。唉，都是不容易。
这部片子被豆瓣狂骂一点也不冤，除了BUG满满的科幻设定，民科臆想式的逻辑每每言中，浅显而套路看腻歪了的亲情纠葛，前妻，父子或是牺牲，毫无阅读的新鲜感，AI叛乱，登月阴谋，月亮中空而且是秘密基地或飞行器，脑残美帝政府要核爆撞击者，你以为你是龟仙人啊。大灾难末日的视觉效果上当然还是世界顶级的，虽然早就不新鲜了，但毕竟爽还是爽的。海啸摧毁城市，城市上空的陨石雨，爆米花指数还是够的，艾默里奇，拍过2012，后天，独立日，这些经典灾难片，本片如出一辙而已，虽然不新鲜，怎么这次口碑就垮这么狠呢。大概也因为疫情吧，大家都有点腻味的意思，你毫无新意还喊着煽情的口号，这几年大家都被忽悠瘸了，再听你毫无诚意地忽悠，实在恼火，XW联播我不敢骂，骂你还不行吗？不过实话说，剧情虽然幼稚牵强，特效还挺好，剧情无脑也凑合
这片的难得之处是囊括了近年几乎所有好莱坞受验证的流行娱乐元素，包括不仅限于：种族起源、戴森球、政治隐喻、机械降神。表现手法上，前半段看起来很有《不要抬头》的白化版本，中部开始是《2012》那种黑压压和无处可逃的久违氛围，最后也能窥见怪兽电影和科幻电影的经典配方（飙车那段有点《速激》的内味儿）。刨去因为剪辑导致的逻辑衔接或众口难调的确存在褒贬不一，品质方面：规格和特效兼具、节奏口感尚可、情感刻画不油腻、亚裔和拉丁配角各司其职（于文文的演技和定位都要比《金刚》里的景甜实在不少）。仅能将如此多元素整合到一起，就足够称得上是难得能娱乐大众的爆米花佳作。太可惜没能去电影院一睹恢弘场面...
还是迈克贝的老一套动作戏调度，突出一个“动”字，运动在镜头本身及其容纳的万物中贯穿始终。无人机造就出了具有无限可能性的视点和永远在叠加的速率，但过度频繁的使用和各种非引导性的莫名其妙之视角还是有些突兀。文戏就是一般般的水平，依靠不定时的用力的包袱来缓解紧张的情绪，有偶尔让人眼前一亮的小反转，但也有很多逻辑硬伤和契科夫看了都会生气的过于明显的“契科夫的枪”。但抛去这些老生常谈的要点，本片最出彩的也许是那些迷影情结的彩蛋，除却角色们对白中出现的电影，你还能看到《守望者》，看到《法国贩毒网》，甚至看到库布里克的《杀手》。而至于轰炸贝的工作是否合格呢？你也知道的，他一定会让你审美疲劳。
这电影好难看啊，套模板都套劈了那种难看。如果是电影院看铁定会睡着那种难看。将军一家雷点多到没法吐槽。
把天煞和2012混搭，结尾再加个火星任务，很保底的东西。俩类型混搭确实拖累了文戏，地球部分完全可以不要，每个人的动机都不怎么扎实；外星AI毁灭人类设定，即传统又管用，形同质量效应；室内淹水这种东西还是狭窄空间玩得起来。CG方面提供了不错的奇观，涌起的海面与月球内部，穿球什么的，虽不是新东西也算是效果有所提高了
到底是什么可以让这些大牌演员演这么烂的剧本？
