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".
我也不理解大家对史诗的定义。看了两个多小时，我甚至不知道男主在想什么。
飞，短评里说故事不清的，别看电影了好么？烦死了。凑个屁热度
厄拉克斯的崛起，王子的复仇。维伦纽瓦开启了本世纪第三个十年最震撼的科幻系列。三分《降临》三分《星球大战》再加四分《银翼杀手2049》，在融合各种创造力和视觉奇观的基础上，维神又带创造出了新的科幻语法，靠高超的剪辑和音乐设计让作品有了可怕的“通感力”，编织出一个沉浸式的史诗的世界。绝对不要错过IMAX版本！！！
草，我居然蛮喜欢的，可能是看了2DIMAX吧，要说剧情确实是没什么剧情，搁别的片儿几分钟就能讲完的前情提要，但是这个美术和音乐真的把你带到了那个世界，沉浸感非常强。设定因为我之前了解过，所以不知道没了解的人体感怎么样，我是觉得很清楚的。虽然甜茶最近的疑似霸凌闹得沸沸扬扬，但他在这个片儿还是很符合我审美，好好看啊，气质也很符合这种贵族人设，预知梦里面有一个冷眼俯视卡拉丹的画面把我帅没了。唉，对喜好和平的少年来说，突然接受自己是要引起宇宙杀戮的“救世主”的命运确实很难接受，所以他第一反应是很痛的“我爸死了”，做先知和救世主也不是什么好差事啊，知情却无法改变是最痛苦的。
这不正是我们现在过的生活吗？
大概是我的偏见吧，这种奉为经典的北美巨著半个世纪后看起来真的就是各种陈词滥调。天主教阿拉伯什么的摹写真的已经早该当作圣髑摆进博物馆了。大概50年后翻拍电影版权力的游戏也会是这种感觉。不怪维伦纽瓦，谁拍大概都这样。
背景： 《市长和两代油田承包商的恩怨纠纷》
十分钟可以讲完的故事，用了150分钟。。。
维伦纽瓦总是着迷那些在成为神话路上意识到一切都是假象的人物，因此在电影的开头，王子反救世主的角色核心被轻巧抛出，它警告我们一切都是“设计”，都是气氛；然而他却继续冷漠地执行着他法西斯主义巨物迷恋式的场面调度，并由汉斯·季默的“音言”强化其统治（是啊，贝斯，因此我们屈服了，我们忘了在《降临》里那些声音是带有启示性的），泛滥的“闪前”最终露出了骗局的笑容：信任的消逝与未完待续的呼唤，多么美好的一对。
这是自失控玩家后，近来第二次被豆瓣评分欺骗了。作为商业片，叙事一塌糊涂，老套的宫廷斗争王子复仇戏，节奏乱因果混人物莫名其妙。忽然就幻觉，忽然就决斗，忽然就叛变，对话云里雾里，人物经常不知缘由的抽搐，大战又不够精彩，死的既不悲壮也不伤感。男主神神叨叨，不像先知，倒像嗑大了。经常给莫名其妙的人物镜头，搞的母子关系总看着怪怪的。剧情毫无悬念，几分钟讲完的事愣是拖几十分钟，都看困了。
与这个时代格格不入的佳作，折损多少传奇电影人物的《沙丘》，终于按照我想象的方式拍了出来。就像在这个智能手机普及的年代，终于有人做出了一部完美的大哥大一样。当然，不能强迫所有人按照当年的眼光来看待这部作品，也在观影时不时觉得，要是我，想要留住观众绝对不敢这么做。因而更加佩服导演和创作团队的勇气，这年头没有爱，不可能战胜恐惧做出这样的作品。“恐惧如风，风过无痕，惟有我依然屹立。”
竟然被拉到7分，这不比漫威电影好太多了？作为一部科幻老古董，单人装甲和蜻蜓式飞行器也很让人亮眼，另外张震造型太像满大人了。。。
震撼，应该是疫情以来最好的科幻电影，这里我要强调电影两个字，而不是科幻，尽管这是一部完全靠视觉语言推动的电影，然而科幻只能算是一具精美的躯壳。电影的每一帧都充满仪式感，这个仪式感不为剧情服务，只为阐述人类作为人类，本质上是由权力、财富，宗教和战争塑造出来的。电影的每一帧都写满政治隐喻。隐喻也不为剧情服务，只隐喻了人类作为政治动物，并揭示其毫不乐观的未来。电影的每一帧都浓缩了历史，浓缩了地球上你能知道的每个历史时期的帝国故事，如果这些帝国王子齐聚一堂观看本片，发出的叹息足以把影厅窒息。这个电影的确应该叫沙丘，因为最终埋葬人类的，就是DUNE。
第一次在科幻片里看这么多白刀子进红刀子出的肉搏戏
座无虚席，结束以后其他美国人起立鼓掌。服化道都很完美，每一个飞船都太好看了，完全沉浸在欣赏工业设计美学里。故事一点也不未来是中世纪权谋+古希腊悲剧的结合，挺古典的，能看得出后面星战的原力、权游的故事都有借鉴沙丘。让人诟病的冷兵器打架其实也是原著故意为之。去补原著了，之前没看完TT
這真的是Villeneuve夢寐以求的創作源起？如是，那這一次集結了他過去在荷里活時期，一步步走來運用的視聽元素，2049的空曠感，外星生物至於巨蟲，《Sicario》的動作打鬥。Villeneuve 刻意的「慢電影」節奏，令故事拍得明明白白，套入中東、伊斯蘭國度的視覺元素，最後演變成王子與公主...其實是母后大逃亡記（主角保羅在其後的經歷令人想起伊底帕斯王），以至香料和家族鬥爭真的是資本和資源之間的對峙了。一一被弱化了複雜世界觀設定，原文本中反英雄、反主流文化氣色也不再見，雖然我們也可無視原文本的生成時空，轉而重視導演的重構，但開局的設置和簡化，像戲中沙漠般無法判斷，現在只是第一集的Part 1 很難說，就像ZackSnyder重拍《Dawn of the Dead》，什麼都好像做足了，但正經過頭地用太空歌劇方式來拍一部邪氣十足的文本總覺不是味兒。
也的确只有外国人写科幻小说会写出各种高级智慧文明，他们的战斗方式永远是短兵相接，甚至于为什么非得短兵相接，电影也给不出答案，在我看来，这个背景设定就显得这些人太蠢笨。
确实是为大银幕而生的电影啊，那视觉，那听觉，那叙事，都无比宏大，但我还是看困了。两个半小时的铺垫，没有高潮，画面再美轮美奂也会审美疲劳。觉得这种中古风的科幻电影蛮奇怪的，都公元一万多年了，还在拿着刀剑互砍，你们对得起我们——你们的祖先吗？
引用一条外媒口碑：“当下看《沙丘》，就像身处1968年看《2001太空漫游》”
我觉得整体的故事线没什么高潮 也有可能是看过漫画的原因 但是乙骨的形象 声优老师的演绎都极度满分了！！买成4d场全程挨打的我比任何一个角色都惨
