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".
很稳健的好电影。媒体高赞新时代星战也没问题。方方面面都把控很好，原著党和完全不了解世界观去看的人都觉得看下来很舒服。选角也挺适合。我一般懒得夸寂寞汉，但这次配乐把沙漠天空下宏大苍凉的宿命感陪衬得真到位。
但凡能好好雕琢下故事，把它弄成一个完整的段落……观众也不至于叹着气离开电影院
汉斯季默的音效满分，维伦纽瓦的氛围和风格营造满分，画面震撼满分，剧本某些设定上有些拉垮，漏洞大多来自原著，譬如背景是剧烈的炮轰和爆炸，作为前景的战士却经历着冷兵器时代？对家族间的矛盾展现的不算太清楚。中世纪风格的科幻片，巨物迷恋者不容错过，保持了维神一如既往的等待，震撼的大场面，传递人类的渺小与对宇宙的敬畏感。神秘学和宗教主义在这部中拉满，系列电影的第一部往往不好拍，沙丘当中，把内容整合的很好，避免拍成了加长版预告片。作为导演，维神又一次向我们展现了他的优秀
就好像这部电影存在的唯一意义就是第二部。
对于零基础观影者非常友好，世界观构建和人物关系交代都铺垫足了，开了个好头，期待后续！
好失望呀，没想到Denis Villeneuve也会有作为导演无所适从的那一天。已经2021年了，第一世界竟然还在沉迷讲述中世纪皇权斗争故事并试图合理化殖民主义，本第三世界无产阶级女工看完只觉得不舒服。
史诗，一定要去看imax版本，否则你获得的只是沙丘的一半，沙包
C / 最大的优点是确实拍出了一些“沙之力”。沙被描述为一种流动与凝定、平面与深渊之间最高强度的融合。因而既能在寂静中蕴蓄杀戮，又能吞没浩大的喧嚣——或者说，沙不需要“身体”，因而无时无处不是它的“身体”。主人公作为与沙之力相角逐之“人”，则极度需要这种运动形态的嬗变来弥补因为剧本残缺所造成的叙事能量萎缩。但不幸的是：维伦纽瓦赋予了很多配角刹那间的姿态，却仅仅给予了主角一些过于飘忽的目光与面孔——然而最后一场戏没有身体的力量真的能成立吗？这苍白的打斗完全无法幻化为一种仪式，而仅仅沦为引入下文的一个补丁。面对沙虫那深邃的凝视，必须以同等厚重的沉默回敬之。
与其说是维伦纽瓦作品的集大成，不如说是完全丧失想象力和创造力，才尽是降临和2049的影子。
1.这个厄崔特家族说是因为势力太强大引起皇帝猜疑所以要借刀杀人，在电影里飞快被灭，没有看出势力值在哪？
与这个时代格格不入的佳作，折损多少传奇电影人物的《沙丘》，终于按照我想象的方式拍了出来。就像在这个智能手机普及的年代，终于有人做出了一部完美的大哥大一样。当然，不能强迫所有人按照当年的眼光来看待这部作品，也在观影时不时觉得，要是我，想要留住观众绝对不敢这么做。因而更加佩服导演和创作团队的勇气，这年头没有爱，不可能战胜恐惧做出这样的作品。“恐惧如风，风过无痕，惟有我依然屹立。”
如果说《边境杀手》是维伦纽瓦誉为好导演的助推器，《降临》是让他成为顶尖导演的证物，《银翼杀手2049》是他进阶为“王”的登基石，那么《沙丘》就是帮他稳住“神”这一称号的光环
我怎么看着是一个“白人高富帅如何成为塔利班”的故事？
是怎么做到既无聊又精彩的……真是奇了怪了。//Rebecca太美了！//3.5星
十三号机穿着三国的战甲出来讲了个三毛从军记的故事
怎么说呢，四星还是有的，五星有点满了，其实人们对这类电影一般都很宽容，但这次似乎苛刻了点。多少人之前说沙丘难拍，这个交卷绝对值得再拍两部！
目测至少得拍五部………视觉上的呈现非常好，是电影技术水平发展的成果，也是导演本身确实是当代最适合拍科幻史诗电影第一人。但沙丘的故事，虽然我没看过原著，仅就此序篇看起来还是略旧了。（技术和思想/叙事发展不是同步前进的，过去技术跟不上，现在故事太古典又觉得不够有惊喜。）当然总体观感还是很不错的，甜茶真是天赋异禀可现代可古典可王子可二流子瘦成这样演动作戏也不违和，一众演员都不错，谁能想到最垮是张震………
节奏缓慢，拖沓冗长。用力过猛，干拼演技。神神叨叨，无比尴尬。莫名其妙，不知所云。全片看完，不如预告。
整体美学风格不如《银翼杀手2049》夺目迷人，叙事和沉浸感也不如《降临》强烈，但极佳的摄影和剪辑足以引人入胜，Paul的每一次梦境和浮现的预言都美到窒息，或许是碍于原著的诸多陈旧设定，电影部分片段所显现的影像与整部影片所要构建的宏大叙事相悖；剧情对于未读过原著小说的观众十分友好，各种设定的介绍和展现巧妙不显刻意，但作为一部长达160分钟的电影却没有经得起深思的故事（低配版GoT）有些可惜，当然鱼和熊掌不可兼得；而Hans Zimmer的配乐可能是最拉垮的部分了，机械化的商业大片配乐毫无灵气，多人称赞的民乐和女声也都仅有猎奇，没有上升到与影像相符的高度，如果Jóhann Jóhannsson还在世的话，《降临》式的配乐想必会带来完全不一样的视听体验。
草，我居然蛮喜欢的，可能是看了2DIMAX吧，要说剧情确实是没什么剧情，搁别的片儿几分钟就能讲完的前情提要，但是这个美术和音乐真的把你带到了那个世界，沉浸感非常强。设定因为我之前了解过，所以不知道没了解的人体感怎么样，我是觉得很清楚的。虽然甜茶最近的疑似霸凌闹得沸沸扬扬，但他在这个片儿还是很符合我审美，好好看啊，气质也很符合这种贵族人设，预知梦里面有一个冷眼俯视卡拉丹的画面把我帅没了。唉，对喜好和平的少年来说，突然接受自己是要引起宇宙杀戮的“救世主”的命运确实很难接受，所以他第一反应是很痛的“我爸死了”，做先知和救世主也不是什么好差事啊，知情却无法改变是最痛苦的。
