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".
可能是期待放低所以看完反而觉得还好，尤其是要给华纳鼓掌，真是一家开明公司，允许导演在自己出钱拍摄的片子里疯狂吐槽自己~续集的意义可能更多在女性意识觉醒上，Trinity醒来后状态恢复可比Neo强太多了，主旨嘛确实就还是第一部的东西，到底做哪个选择，每个人心里其实一直有答案，所以为什么重拍呢，导演在片子里已经吐槽过了。之前看过三部曲的观感会更好。能看到年轻的Keanu真好，而看到现在的Keanu和二十多年前的自己同框，更好~就是升级版子弹时间的发波真的太雷了啦！两星半，吐槽好笑再加半星~
续拍不如原作没关系，但原班人马回来这样毁原作也是有点一言难尽；吐槽因为子弹时间之类的花里胡哨，让人民群众get不到你们的先进思想，所以动作场面就可以完全不顾了？整部片也就最后都市人类雨好笑了一下。玩的概念也远没有二十多年前有趣，bot trolling 啊，左右撕裂不如一起满天空画彩虹啊。结尾曲直接性转 Rage Against Machine ，还有个极其无聊的 Catrix 彩蛋。对龌龊司机的爱坚持了那么多年，终于到尽头了 : (
怎样创造世界？方法一，金风玉露一相逢；方法二，拿到再来一次的机会…
纵观云图（我家提克威是好的）到木星，她们要真正融合艺术商业，做到老少咸宜，达到她们想追求的高度，怕还是要很长时间的，是不是华纳等不得了，所以毁自己手里比毁别人手里好啊？[苦涩][苦涩][苦涩]
当我看到它开始频繁引用前作镜头我就知道这片完蛋了。仿佛看了两个半小时snl，就是我知道你的在讽刺什么，你知道我知道你在讽刺什么，我也知道你知道我知道你在讽刺什么，但除了短暂地逗乐儿，这样做的必要性和有效性在哪里？还是那句话，主人的武器不能用来捣毁主人的房子。又及，向沃卓斯基倾情推荐 Asian Future Without Asians 系列讲座——2021年了，就算主角之一有亚裔血统也不能消解掉日本丧尸新干线和水上亭台练功房的 cringiness。
闪回、场景再现和台词梗的滥用到了令人发指的地步；服化道、动作设计、画面质感和特效效果（至少是Matrix内部的那部分）堪比劣质网剧。导演不应该是这水平啊！明明剧情里有值得深挖的亮点，可以建构一整套全新的Matrix宇宙，现在生生拍成了《环大西洋》式的山寨剧。前半段的官方吐槽和最后的彩蛋让人不禁怀疑整部影片可能就是一场大型行为艺术，导演就是为了反抗片场才刻意把它拍烂，好让这个IP彻底凉凉，以后再无任何续集的可能。
陷入虚拟世界的尼奥和崔妮蒂（前三部曲的男女主）在众人的劝说和营救下返回现实世界的故事。整体上不仅枯燥无聊，而且自我重复。各种特效和打斗勉强加一星。PS：通过meta的方式揭露了“是华纳公司逼我们拍续集的”，这个idea有点意思。
今夜的月明如溪，我俩在堤上同行，让我问梦中的你啊，这究竟是梦是真
Neo的颓废感很重，片子有些提不起劲的感觉！女权不女权到无所谓了！会议室里的调侃已定下基调了！“the Catrix”【捂脸cry】导演是真没当回事拍着玩呢
这个故事是讲给影视圈听的，也是导演对社会当下的隐晦表达。被规训多年的人们，靠着卖人设伪装，早已默认甚至享受了各色子民的身份（大不了销号重练），它需要一次kick，发动群众，原动力就是爱，问题是：Neo既然有情感，为啥每次抉择拍得都特别生硬？群众是怎么得到响应的？都没交代。能看得出来，剧组穷了很多，跟个二流美剧一样（远不如《超感猎杀》爽快），小小摄影棚里根本不够表现如此宏大的主题。这还只是文戏，武戏就全程奥特曼化了，所以为数不多的特效场景反而挺带感的。
肉眼可见的“导演告诉观众我真的不想拍这一部你们将就看一下就好了”，很多关键角色都被省略或替代，加上时不时闪回的镜头，直接破坏了回忆和现有叙事，当然，最主要还是故事的讲述和动作的设计上相比三部曲没有新意了，更多是给情怀影迷的一种安慰大餐吧。
不明觉厉，只为凯莉-安·摩斯风采依旧，老尼奥学会八极拳了。
爱你老去依然美丽的容颜，拼长度反正超过《Before Sunrise》三部曲了（还挺感人）
123早都忘了
在电影院看的。也不知放了多少条《黑客帝国》第一部的片段，故事也基本和第一部差不多的模式，只是基努里维斯和凯瑞安莫斯都老了。
这次似乎过去所有呈现的一切都被镜像了 尼奥成为那个选择相信的人而崔尼蒂则成为那个做出选择的人 电影试图培育的怀疑的种子好像也没能够成功发芽 大概是因为制作本身的目的与之前不同 被拯救的是导演本人//倒是开始相信 电影的成功是玄学意义上的天时地利人和
Memoria or Alice in Wonderland. 名为「闪回」的猫！如何确定是回忆还是梦境？嵌套式的结构落到具象性的拯救动作就无趣了，于是叙事的张力大减。后设之解构还可以再彻底一点。进入剧院一场是自反解构的最高点，借助「镜像」的概念调侃电影及基努李维斯本身：你们看现实的他已经是个衰老迟缓的肉身，却依然要借助影像（矩阵）去重现你们想象中的尼奥，这是电影的魔法还是悲哀？黑客4之于黑客系列，如同〈大话西游〉之于〈西游记〉，差别在于创作者亲身上阵以自己的辉煌旧作做实例，调侃「电影叙事完蛋了」
纯粹感觉这个片名充满了适合
相信我，难看归难看，但是华纳肯定还会拍下去，黑客帝国5678……
大白天的场次，睡得很熟，一醒来剧情没多大进展，结果还想看出点花来，就结束了
