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".
老实说看到一半想着：这片子千万别有续集，太假了。
对现实世界的一比一映射，细细金线阴谋论连起所有历史，拒绝把地球变成一个Celestial，拒绝最后审判。挺有时代精神的娱乐片。
为了权游再聚首的两位坚持要看，结果2倍速看完，有点莫名其妙。朱莉可真有亿点好看。
虽然说大部分文艺片导演都看不上漫威电影，但事实证明，术业有专攻，文艺片导演想要拍出合家欢高口碑的电影也不容易。
7分。這部漫威很特別，很DC. 我喜歡趙婷賦予《永恆族》的微弱凜冽的氣質和DC般宏大的視野，許多場面非常壯觀，質感一流，也一改漫威講無聊冷笑話的習慣，盡量保持神話性質的莊嚴。看來漫威也不是不能改變，我挺喜歡這種風格的，故事很簡單，但美術、置景和特效真的很大氣。《無依之地》的美學用在那個故事上就很無聊，用在《永恆族》就對了。唯一的缺點是敘事笨重，閃回和present線來回交替未免過於臃腫，這如何體現趙婷作為一名奧斯卡級導演的聰明呢？
3.5
但作为一个系列首部曲，一上来这么多角色没有拍乱也是很有功力的。动作很强摄影很美，画面风格迥异于复联和银护，有点期待后续的联动。
非常无聊难看，文艺商业两头不搭，更准确地说文艺商业相互拆台。既没有爽到，也没有深刻内涵，就连摄影都宛如死水。那些历史场景的还原，根本没有深邃的历史感，甚至不如普通商业片里用来撑场面的观光旅游，因为本片不屑于观光，只是拿来做背景板，说明他们在那个时代活过。倒不如说整部电影是在用美利坚的政治正确搭台唱戏，这部电影在我眼中更像是漫威为了彰显自己的“包容与多元”所作，因而什么议题都往里塞，什么争议都往里嵌，即便这些东西对人物形象和故事情节根本就毫无帮助，直接导致影片臃肿无比。主角团人物众多并且自带身份标签，方便对号入座。人物缺乏主次，缺乏塑造，几千年的人了还一直情情爱爱的，身负保护人类重托但鲜有互动，反倒是在那里谈情说爱吹牛皮，使得最终决战的目的非常虚浮。克洛伊·赵莫非是国产仙侠剧看多了？
怎么会有一个 每个timing都off的电影
从各个方面平庸，而且很白左式的、机械式的政治正确——黑人、亚裔、女领导、同志、聋哑人、未成年保护、世界和平全齐了。各角色太多又要均衡照顾就分散了人物塑造，还得不断地回首人类被殖民史，所以显得拖沓。这文本要么填充成上下两集，要么压缩节奏成更紧凑的商业大片，都比这么笨重地、机械式地兼顾好。最后，永恒族的战力太弱鸡了，这阵容真不如地球几个变种人。6.5
气质是对的，第三幕拍的还行，但是剧本完全可以精炼，无意义和解释性的对白太多。另外Barry Keoghan真是不错
Chloé的局限和优势都在这部片子里大曝光。
上一次看过这么流水账的爆米花电影还是上一次。
補加：終於想到要怎麼總結這部電影，就是每個角色都立不起來，毫無connection，根本沒有說服我他們是個幾千年的聯盟！而且他們完全沒有熱情，愛情是怎麼來的？？？？
【澳门英皇观影】打破常规的漫威超英片。导演用擅长的美学手段拍摄这个天神与人类关系的作品，结果自然是争议连连。好的方面是给人耳目一新的观感，各种肤色性向的人物都可以是超级英雄。诟病之处是人物过多，剧本在多条线索之间难以兼顾，节奏感不佳。
MCU26。本片完成度不低，10名永恒族的能力都有体现，外星飞船质感很好，全面充满苍凉和压迫感，但烂番茄评分47、中国大陆未能公映，可以说奥斯卡最佳导演这次从内到外输的很惨。好莱坞大厂的政治正确，让人有些疲惫，在这样的一个十人团体里，各种族（白人、拉丁裔、非洲裔、华人、印度人、朝鲜族）、各性别取向（Straight、LBGT）、各弱势群体（女人、小孩、残障人士）都安排的明明白白，（假装一团和气的、实际被撕裂的）世界人民大团结万岁！剧情方面，一是这样的一个大战哥斯拉的故事显然不符合漫威观众的预期，二是永恒族设定偏弱，能力也都类似于超人和X战警，三是这些永恒族对之前的无限战争冷眼旁观，对MCU前三阶段参与度甚至不如普通的影迷，然后突然就出现了当主角，影迷也不能答应啊。疑惑本片为什么可以立项。2022年3月观影
太冗长了，一个半小时即可，节奏掌控有问题 ，唯一亮点就是男女主角都很性感。
打一星的可能是被纸拿征服教育的没有爱了吧，体会不到赵婷想传递的东西，可怕
好看。啥时候第二部(˶‾᷄ ⁻̫ ‾᷅˵)
我还是认为克洛伊赵作为导演来说，能力不强。
