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".
不过拍摄中使用无人机的场景调度可圈可点，迈克尔·贝招牌追车让本片加到3星。
艾默里奇影评人评价一向不好，但是爆米花片子拍的还可以，独立日，2012，后天我都挺喜欢的，这次月球陨落的题材我很感兴趣才去看，全然没顾影评不佳的事实。看过之后感叹艾默里奇这次真失手了，影片节奏差，逻辑不通，就大场面还可以。
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。
听出来了，是Leonerd的妈妈。华谊和腾讯这是打算花钱让好莱坞拍迎合中国的片子骗票房？目的太明显太露骨导致失效。资本主义的末日把戏黔驴技穷的感觉，资本主义最后挣扎是为房东们洗白。
降智😅 地震把一屋子领导砸死了我属实没想到
创意还可以，细节不太考究。ps：未来只可能是人工智能（抖音算法推荐）奴役人类，还在用黑客帝国那一套AI起义说就太陈旧了
最简单的提高观赏性的办法就是把地球故事的部分剪辑掉半小时， emo的部分剪辑掉半小时。这样剩下的90分钟我们就看看外星人，看看月球，看看灾难片大场面就不错。
学到一句话 It's better ask forgiveness than permission. 与其请求允许，不如请求原谅
午睡梦里浪费医疗资源叫了救护车，醒了马上看这部。乱七八糟
乱奇元素大乱炖，主要是演员演技也很糟糕，在绿幕前根本不会演戏了？
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。
一般般……如果没有Jake 那就不堪设想了~
虽然设定上有点幼稚，然后画面上还不够精细，但片子拍得还可以。
这么大个世界观拍个预算有限的灾难片多少有点可惜了。
这篇评分低的很大原因是大家对于科幻片的标准比以前高了。以前的科幻片只要脑洞够大、视觉够爆、节奏够快、故事没明显逻辑bug，就算合格。近几年互联网让信息获取更简单，电影里不那么科学的情节便无处遁形，格外刺眼了；另外，像星际穿越、火星救援等“硬科幻”也提升了观众的审美和要求。同样的电影放在十年前也许评价完全不同呢。罗兰还是没能跟上时代吧。

莫名其妙的好多航拍旋转和陡降，莫名其妙的升格镜头配抒情BGM，追车戏都看疲了，女主斯德哥尔摩综合征太明显，反派被团灭太快，俩主角性格塑造模糊，没甚意思，从变5就能看出来迈克尔贝剧情和节奏把控已经失衡了，何况这次场面真不算大。
1.想不到有一天好莱坞也要模仿中国科幻的创意
各种拍摄角度你都能找到迈克尔贝对当年自己【勇闯夺命岛】，【绝地战警】的致敬，然时过境迁，他这套已经变成了工业流程，当年热血新人导演的惊艳已经荡然无存，除了公路追逐老套的炸炸炸，唯一能让你意识到这部电影产于2022年的代表是满屏的无人机环绕拍摄，看一次觉得有点新鲜，看多了就觉得电影被切的稀碎。距离迈克尔贝首执导筒轰然出世的【绝地战警1】已经过了27年，可能人老了，总是要怀旧的，爆炸贝也不例外，ps 片长2小时完全没必要，1个半小时足够
中午在家吃猪肚鸡火锅边吃边看吧唧吧唧后面都快看睡着了......原来不是我的问题。故事根本没说好，你以为他是循序渐进的灾难片吧，结果给你整个怪，通篇一群人在那忙前忙后都没明白他们具体要怎么搞（望天沉思）嗯这可能也是现实常态吧（吐烟圈）。
