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".
铺垫太长，直接后段的科幻灾难模式，评价会高点。科幻方面硬伤太多不能较真。
民科保驾，资本到位，专业模式，特效加持。（3.5）
罗兰·艾默里奇大概是被华谊绑架了。前半段四星剧情，后半段不知是否经费不够了，从「文戏」矫揉造作，大打老掉牙父子、母子亲情牌，破有催育之感，到「武戏」令我全程笑到无语，只剩「阿巴阿巴」。若用一个词来形容剧情走向，那就是——荒谬至极，无比鬼扯。在本片中，罗兰设定的科幻猜想是：月球，是人类祖先建构的一个框架结构，是保护地球的「卫星」。虽为科幻，但令我无法信服。特效制作，感受到片方经费在“燃烧”，但故事主题和人物结局落点，都像是罗兰拿了10年前剧本——这种惊愕之感。不亚于看许鞍华《第一炉香》；求求导演们，请跟上形势发展，不要埋头苦干。故事内核俗套和老旧，已然令我失去评价欲望。而影片从头到脚，透露的华裔、汉语元素，真是为本片内地送审，提供「枪支弹药」，真是加分了——没猜错的话，幕后主使就是华谊了。
高阶版人类被AI摧毁，而AI被低阶版人类的炸弹炸死。在一个家里带孩子，结果于文文不是哈利贝瑞女朋友……？！
就故事也一般特效也一般啥都一般，就新增了个“戴森球”的名词。。。
都是套路前面，但勉强可以看下去。但后面扯什么AI，蜂群就变得有点傻了，这就是强行将自然灾难片转往外星人入侵啊，撕裂。
除了月球以及外星粒子的设定比较有意思，其余的剧情都很生硬尴尬和无聊，父子、母子、父女、前妻以及前夫还有中国人女保姆之间的故事及感情戏都好生硬，一句话故事设定和特效还行，剧情超烂。
其实好看的！！！并不是烂俗网片的感觉，延续了赘婿的风格，给2做了铺垫 是好的，是在家消遣的片子
即便我一直不太计较科幻片的科学逻辑，只要特效视觉看得爽就好。但你们这么忽悠我有点过分了啊！其他不说，地球的武器就能那么轻易摧毁外星人工智能？你们确定这不是在侮辱我的智商？气愤！
熟悉的艾默里奇味儿，在IMAX大银幕上观影再合适不过了。很久都没有上映这种科幻灾难片了，特效满满，想象力十足，AI这种设定很容易让人想到过去的经典科幻，但是和月球这个概念结合得很有特色。
把一部电影拍出这种烂到“完美无缺”的地步也是需要有一定实力的导演才能做到的
故事情节比较简单，软科幻，AI反人类的故事。视觉效果很赞
这片子不是不行，不是摆烂，反而是野心太大了，罗兰艾默里奇似乎用全片在控诉为什么《异形》不给他拍，《降临》不给他拍，《星战》也不给他拍，他不是只会拍灾难片，毕竟《独立日》是科幻类型在前，而事实证明，做减法对艾默里奇的作品更友好
剧情只想给二星，关于人文的部分和撞车差不多。给四星的原因是因为，是老婆买的票，是和看问天少年杂志的儿子一起看的。剧情有bug，就有吧。哪有那么多尽善尽美呢。比起电影内容，当下的自己可能更关心的是和谁做了什么。
男主儿子（看他总觉得在看张全蛋？）、交换生的戏份可以去掉。
气氛挺到位，但是老土是真的老土，看到后面我的灵魂已然麻木，这么大个科技怪物，只要一个炸弹就能解决一切，然后地球就给保下来了。中间还穿插着各种令人抠脚的爱情兄弟情父子情，并且对这些感情的诠释跟几十年前相比毫无进步。台词是真的烂，为什么能有这么多美国冷笑话，导致看的时候总感觉有乌鸦从我头上飞过。
照“2012”差了一百个“异形”和“后天”
为什么要在这种片子里盘逻辑找科学依据？故事说得过去特效看得爽不就够了吗？属实是不太懂现在的豆瓣er打分标准了😅😅😅哈利贝瑞还是那么美！想起上大学的某年痴迷用同学的军用望远镜在14层平台窥探月亮，当用高倍望远镜第一次大概看清月球表面的时候，差点把它扔了，然后就每天看每天怕，怕到跑回寝室然后第二天继续，好像有种魔力。但如果地球出现电影上那么大的月亮，我可能会直接吓死过去吧。
地球月球都值得一救，唯独墨西哥后爹必须死是吧
二星半，男主演的很有意思，但是女主的设定挺有问题，其实能够理解对女性追求自己事业的表达，但是用现在的经营模式给套到古代，挺没说服力的，电视剧的宁毅不违和，是因为电视剧在第一集里面已经就明确表达给宁毅开现代人视角，也就是开挂了
