The story appears simple on the surface, but is revealed, especially after multiple viewings, as more multi-layered and textured than Cassavetes at his best. Ostensibly it concerns a 14-year old Catholic girl, Wynne (Agutter) growing up in this post-modern wasteland, who develops a crush on her much older adoptive brother (Marshall)- a crush which perversely deepens and grows into infatuation once she starts to believe he is the local sex killer. This is in itself an idea that makes you sit up and jolt, but as the narrative develops, it continues not necessarily along a linear path but in several confusing and fascinating directions: the family's history, (detailed effectively in chilling flashback during an improvised seance) is a chequered one, and has suffered at least one major relocation and upheaval in the last ten years. At the crux, however, it's the depiction of socialal changes that make I Start Counting so fascinating and elevate its language far beyond the confines of the standard horror film. The major subtext- that teenage girls were maturing more quickly than before, and developing full sexual and romantic appetites (even if in thought rather than deed) but were not possessed of enough discretion to make the right choices- was a step forward for a genre in which its young females had previously been portrayed as bimbo victims (Cover Girl Killer and The Night Caller spring to mind), but not one that all viewers would necessarily agree with. But most striking of all, and possibly the most enduring image which the viewer will take away with them, is of the masterful symbolism with which director Greene invests every shot. Every inch of the Kinch family's world- their house, their walls, their TV, Agutters underwear, bedroom furniture and toys, Sutcliffe's clothes, Marshalls van, the local Catholic church, their town centre, their record shop) - is painted a bright, scintillating white- a white which, by inference, is slowly becoming smudged and corrupted with the dirt of the outside world. White also symbolises, of course, purity and innocence (two qualities Catholic schoolgirls are supposed to hold dear), and it is into this world of innocence that the ever-present red bus (a symbol of violation and penetration), conducted by the lecherous yet similarly juvenile Simon Ward, makes regular journeys. The allegory is further expanded in one scene where Agutter believes she sees the Christ figure in church weeping blood: by the time we acknowledge it, its gone, but the seed has already been planted. Rarely in a genre production has the use of colour and background been so important or effective in creating a uniformity of mood. I Start Counting is as near-perfect an end to a decade as one could hope for, and exactly the kind of film people should be making now- which is, of course, exactly why they never will. A genre essential. by D.R.
Cinema! 阿拉伯世界寓言。非常2049，十分降临，有点边境杀手，实则焦土之城。镜头毫不吝惜对黄沙这种流动的喜爱。（只是马力克式广角逆光特写Zendaya给🍵整出戏了，妈妈看着多着急啊（不是。
需要看说明书的电影都不是好电影
很惊喜这是一部“反好莱坞科幻大片”式的好莱坞科幻大片，从《降临》到《银翼》再到《沙丘》，很喜欢瓦导一贯的调调，宏大的格局，细腻的人物线，古典，浪漫。影像太沉浸了，随时感觉嘴里要进沙子，汉斯季默年度音乐大赏，这是绝对不能错过的。
在三星与四星徘徊。故事确实浅显易懂，依旧是关于男性救世主的故事。前面三分之二扑面而来的设定确实引人入胜，后面一度我拿出手机看了下时间。打斗只要是特写就有点拉跨，导致会偶尔出戏。没看过原著，但确实能够看懂，说明改编还是很成功的，当然我自己也有做功课。唯一bother me的是故事中的东方主义，服化道和故事直指中东和伊斯兰教，令人不适的是本片依旧建立了中东意向和帝国极权原始宗教粗鲁等意指的连接，而带着德国符号的白人家族在“类中东北非”的土地上遭遇的背叛围剿和危机乃至于之后理所应当的成功，让我不由自主地确定了文本中的西方中心主义。我的不适感大概也来自于意识到这片子与现实的过于亲近，基本就是现实世界的拼贴重组。看到人形“计算机”打着日本伞的那一幕，我的心情真的非常复杂，这个道具出现在这里的意义是什么
这么多年过去中东依旧是好莱坞叙事中异族奇观的象征。插入的那几句中文什么鬼…………
离家，面临危机，力量觉醒，这成为后世许多科幻电影的叙事框架。甜茶+张震的组合很惊喜，汉斯·季默依旧宝刀不老，年度神作预定。
维导的作品，果真只有在银幕上才能感受出完全的魅力。视听效果是满意的，只可惜本片终究只是半部电影，看完有些不够尽兴，预见部分的各种插入也确乎拖慢了影片节奏，甚至比bvs做梦还要频繁得多。
没看过原著的情况下，觉得作为一个前传前篇的，四星有。视效演员都不丢分。“恐惧是思想的敌人”，我对外星咖啡的恐惧超过了沙虫獠牙。
太美了视觉之美带来的强烈的震撼与命运感，甜茶也太美了，瞳色和光影辉映就是让人捂胸口的艺术感。设定也美啊，总比一直探索星际宇宙来得新鲜，喜欢这种高文明高科技下荒蛮干涸的环境，怪兽和异象，族群与政权，极度发达和极度荒芜能够很好的统一在设定中。
进一步加深了对维伦纽瓦的喜爱，这部电影还原度极高地延续了《降临》的美学风格，我敢打包票配乐师肯定没换。漫茫到近乎瘆人的沙漠，蕴藏其中的神秘和恐怖，在此中的无垠感，维伦纽瓦的镜头表现的太好了，也似乎只有拍出《降临》和《银翼杀手2046》的他能做到这些，想必，《沙丘》系列在维伦纽瓦执掌下必然是往史诗那个方向迈步的。
完全是，我近几年看过的综合水准最高的电影！！！极致浪漫又刺激的感官和情绪享受，又很有感悟！
宏大的世界观，第二部还要等多久？配乐非常出彩。甜茶可真俊！大沙虫子的设定以前看过，但这么巨型的还是第一次看到。
你可以永遠對Denis Villeneuve抱有期待。鮮有臉譜化的人物，幾乎每一個角色都含蓄而内斂。獨特的光線搭配小景深的臉部特寫，傳來一種柔和的壓迫感。影片中時常掠過的慢鏡，并不爲了炫技動作，而是帶有一種無比莊嚴的史詩感。巨物場景相當震撼且散發著恐懼，無論是巨型母艦和飛行器還是沙蟲，甚至是Baron本人浮空的畫面也是如此令人發怵。影片的故事沒有特別出衆的地方，但是搭配異域風格的打擊樂和吟唱，總有一些場景和畫面令人印象深刻過目難忘。你可以發現，Denis在耐心地講一個故事，它并非洶湧的滔天巨浪，而似山澗的涓涓細流，神秘而雋永。
比遮遮掩掩的《银翼杀手2049》好。全片弥漫New Age Sentimentality，越过创痛直通拯救，这是由Malick的《新世界》所确立的。
好看。视觉意义上的好看，也是故事节奏上的好看，如果能少一点神神叨叨和赞达亚的闪回就更好看了。
人类的宏大叙事，绝大多数逃不开陈旧的世界观，哪怕面对的是浩瀚的宇宙，终归是那些柴米油盐酱醋茶。走出影院，越发觉得立意很像是阿拉伯的劳伦斯，而跳脱基督教世界的角度，绿教或多或少，肯定不会是现在呈现在我们眼前的样子或者至少以前不是。退一步讲，作为异域风情的观光片，也是值回Imax票价。一段长达两个半小时的预告片，希望糟糕的疫情和线上同步发行，也不会阻止续集的进度。
I wish someday i could see a movie where love isn’t the ultimate save😅
没有读过原著，看之前稍微做了些功课，不然要被开头那些长的陌生名词搞晕，其实是很简单的殖民主义文学架构。看的时候有《哈利波特》的即视感。无论是BDO美术、汉斯季默的音乐，还是音言(The Voice)的呈现，这部片都属于要不去好影院看，要不就不用看的类型。 眼盲没认出邓肯就是海王，还觉得“哇，这就是我心目中刺客信条里的刺客真人啊！” :D 看碟中谍的时候就很喜欢丽贝卡·弗格森，这部里也是很有戏。比较不喜欢的是邓肯护主那段，感觉拍得有点儿低端；还有，不喜欢台词一直在聊高温的时候，画面呈现出来毫无暴晒感，甚至是极度冷调的（但是想了一下，基于故事氛围，确实是有点儿难表现）。另外没看懂岳医生和保罗的交易，准备补补原著的部分。既《降临》后，维伦纽瓦又突出关注了“语言”。强烈期待瓦伦纽尔版的Cleopatra（IMAX 2D

未登场的皇帝像中世纪君主制帝国般左右角色命运，摄入香料後主角预见可能现实的能力成为一种自觉，逐渐领悟所有生命体，它们一切所做所为都是生存，而“生态学最高境界就是理解因果关系。”沙丘是群星的救星，因为它是个有良知有意识的行星。行星涌向宇宙，沙丘放着光芒，在银河系中穿梭。
