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".
可能设定本身就是最大的原罪吧，好好地灾难片非要加入科幻元素，我就是单纯的想看月球毁灭，结果告诉我月球是人造的，空心内部亿万年前人类最后残存的家园。所以落点是让现在的人类警惕AI意识觉醒吗？灾难不够灾，科幻不够新，亲情不够煽，逻辑又太多硬伤，确实是泛善可陈，9点多亿的投资，华谊实惨！
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。。。
能吃《赘婿》的红利开个番外也是聪明，不过实在是对苏文兴这个感冒不起来。还是借鉴了网商的营销策略，不过这一次主角从宁毅变成了高甜。但是唯一的问题是没抓住这次《赘婿》改编之所以红火的原因是男女主角有CP感和郭麒麟自带的幽默气质。我还是老老实实等网剧的第二季吧
3.5；效果还是不错的，可惜大家对这种灾难套路实在审美疲劳了；难得在影视作品里看到戴森球
用脚写的剧本都能比这强，强行煽情注水，套路化工具人角色，毫无末世气质，逻辑随时随地硬伤，阴谋论又老又俗，看似特效大片其实棚拍痕迹严重，场景规模小气得要死。不过也算在意料之中，不是陪朋友我本身也不会来看这部片，只能说电影的社交意义远压过了本体质量。
像是用《后天》和《2012》废弃素材混剪，再加点无脑设定攒出来的上世纪过气科幻片，还是伪大制作，进入月球内部的反转不叫开脑洞，而是想不出来胡诌的强转折，莫名其妙的地球追车戏，莫名其妙的于文文，各种忽略逻辑与细节的设计，艾默里奇拿手绝活搞成这样，华谊究竟是从中作了什么弥天大烂梗？
教科书级别的好莱坞科幻大烂片，剧情老套、角色老套、设定老套，艾默里奇老了
虽然当月亮接近地球时，那种引力波的场景超级壮观，但是，就故事层面，感觉似乎仍旧比不上2012？
在这个片荒的阶段，能有这排面的灾难片看看也是不错了，还要什么逻辑。片尾曲不错带感。
互联网巨头拍的轻喜剧，内容自然要赞颂互联网商业模式。
从网剧衍生出网络大电影，印象中上次这种操作的还是盗墓笔记。《赘婿之吉兴高照》脱胎自网剧，但其根本内核还是《赘婿》这本书，哪怕已经改编了不少。苏文兴这个角色的喜剧感虽说很强，但要支撑起一部电影的体量还是差了些，所以编剧加上了一条感情线，让这部电影的故事推进恰到好处。这部电影不过是《赘婿2》的先锋作，也不能过于要求这部电影的质量了。
虽然跟赘婿小说完全走了两条路，但真的可以把商战继续下去，现代与古代的混搭还是笑果十足的。
这么多强大的卡司，弄这么一个简单直接胡说八道没啥逻辑的视觉大片，我还挺喜欢的。。。
脑洞很大，科幻灾难要素齐全，台词也搞笑的但略微降智。罗兰艾默里奇真的和地球有仇。光看特效就够了真的。
有些想法设定还是不错，但是这剧情也太“自我复制”了吧，剧情上的想象力全无。
月球宇宙飞船假说 终于被搬上银幕 作品前半关于月球的很多不寻常特性以及登月期间发生过的事情都是真实存在的 作为后半部科幻的理论基础 月球在早期人类跨民族的历史中也都有着相当一致的传说记载 这其中关联了人类早期的大洪水和救世传说 一切并不是偶然 所以这部电影需要储备的知识还是相当多的 至于后半部月球轨道下降后地面角色的境遇 以及想象中月球内部的描述 都可以不用太认真 娱乐而已
作为sp是合格的，简简单单也还行，但是不能算作电影，只能算加长版电视剧，而且《赘婿》第二季也会拍，那估计这部的情节第二季也会直接继承下去。
艾默里奇善用的灾难套路，可是很明显，他对这个创意的知识储备并不是很足。
哈哈，可怕的华谊投资引来无数骂声。还有尴尬突兀的中国演员，从质感到演技一无是处。其实片子本身还好，要说它纯特效无脑片的话，质量可要比狂暴巨兽之流好多了(当然有部分特效水平一般，但灾难场面在巨幕看还是很棒的)，基本就是独立日➕2012，从画面到剧情都有所拼贴，说俗套的我倒是觉得这不是问题，好电影关键不在于新俗，反而是运镜节奏演技剧情还没有这两部好，尤其是第三类接触的出现让我三观碎裂，从那以后一泻千里，所有的感情刻意牵强而虚假，连我这个科幻白痴豆惊呼扯淡。但要说是大烂片倒不至于(尼罗河惨案才叫烂穿地表吧，更不要说还有什么逐梦演艺圈之流)，作为群像电影还是很不错的，好莱坞群像商业大片在我看来只有罗兰最好了，且看且珍惜吧。
全靠特效制造奇观支持影片，现今早已经不可持续，因为特效烂大街了!要有情节，创新，创意啊？!
