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".
Reboot的全面回忆，到底是自我剽窃重复摹仿，还是全盘解构崭新纪元？Neo本是毁灭旧制后新世界的黎明喻体，元叙述怀旧自嘲的故事续写却落入茧缚的loop，如Rey重走Luke银河救世主之路，任何层面都是媚粉保守的无奈叹息，承载深厚期盼的Matrix因而处在商业使命和创新策略夹缝间沦为了影像风格、动作设计、皮囊继承处处暮气沉沉的拙劣产物。人类总在循环错误历史泥泞跋涉，像虚拟程序周而复始。Lilly+Lana才是the Wachowskis，回顾蜕变重生的旧日映射，也是片段闪回和卡司沿用的回首留恋自白。Neo和Trinity超越瞬间永恒，肉身幻象的触碰和对视，才能诠释宇宙最初和最后的爱，日出和黄昏的守候，彩彻区明的希望。叙事已死，媒介尽是废墟，觉醒的女性一跃而飞，似曾相识的心理分析不如看看猫片。
和综艺上多了演什么都十分综艺感的人一样，电视剧&音乐剧卡司再就业的违和感也一样重，更别提是要当经典角色的代餐了。根本代不动，而且什么都搞得像星战增加了恶心程度……艰难地看完了，槽点太多
打破第四面墙，用爱发电！！！牛逼到爆了，看不懂的人就别来看浪费时间了，给低分图什么？？
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。
基努里维斯的演技在坞内可以和星爵争倒数第一的水平，想想还是他第一吧，50岁的老花瓶也是独此一家了，怎么能这么烂啊蹩脚的路人
叛逆儿童被逼写作业草草敷衍，像极了full load被硬塞加急新项目所以开始报复性搞文件的我（不是
换做你是尼奥，你敢赌Trinity 的自由意志吗？
在原3部曲已经完美闭环的基础上，要不破坏原著又要重启故事，并且科技已经发展到现今这个程度，确实难度不小。华纳也是疯批了，重启这个项目还给这么大的预算，烧钱程度可以和复联媲美，在全球疫情大大影响票房的环境下，不知是对2位年老色衰的主演号召力太有信心，还是对这个项目太有信心。蛮好的一个故事，但拍的七零八落的，靠故事解读才能理解。基努甚至连John Wick过来的造型都懒得换一下。
在日本看的，让我有点confused因为感觉有点被拍成了恋爱电影，性转版第一部with a lot of therapies（）不过另一方面又是对Trinity Syndrome的纠正，但又没有纠正；如果要是有第五部并且Trinity regains her full agency的话就才合理。以及我看到了至少7个超感猎杀的卡司，是两姐妹御用演员吗哈哈哈哈哈哈哈 Lexy和Bugs绝对是一对u cant convince me otherwise！喊政治正确的看你x的黑客帝国呢人家99年上映的时候就是很政治正确哈男主literally就是亚裔血统的基努里维斯哈😅
整个文本是对经典三部曲折射到当下的现实性自反，然而节奏太便秘感。这种直白、啰嗦乃至臃肿地刻奇使得以往叙事的哲学思辨大大消解。或许也是老气横秋、始终一脸“what”的老码农们对过往辉煌IT业的祭奠。吐槽华纳部分当属本片最佳。7.1
官方自制佳片有约，当年的核心主创悉数到场，让我们回味经典，再续前缘
从剧本到表演都摆明了主创「我不想拍/演」的情绪，都这样了，还需要眨眼吗？
For Neo! For Trinity!
这代人的年龄仿佛经历了bullet time总还停留在世纪初的少年阶段，致使大叔和辣妈的纯爱屡屡搬上银幕，尤其对于昔日叱咤风云的黑客来说这会不会太肤浅小清新了，简直没眼看… 以及所谓矩阵世界应许的自由政体到底是什么似乎也很模糊，仍处于乌托邦的理想之中，既然克苏鲁的现实世界与数字虚拟世界的dictatorship都不能令人满意，那么靠两个中年人纯爱的情动就能超级英雄拯救世界了嘛… 回到现实才能组织抵抗拟像和想象的力量，这种怀旧的二元对抗似乎确实证明Neo is getting old
你的脑海，庞大又疲惫，无法摆脱的暮年气质引力。60年后，在餐桌的对面再与你饮一杯咖啡，是否可以，所有我们的羁绊停留在这个体面时刻。预告片还真挺好看的
按正常理解，2-3星，很失望；按我的另类理解，5星神作。我的长影评近日贴出。
全片唯一的亮点来自第121分钟，尼奥一个标志性的帅动作没飞起来。
救活尼奥和崔妮蒂的动机最后也没搞清楚。你用爱发电，我种我的蔬菜，大家相安无事不是挺好吗？难道仅仅是因为年轻人爱磕cp，就折腾这对老人家？
突然得知要出续作，而且还是原来的导演，特别期待。这年头期待啥就失望啥。其实故事还是很通顺的，虽然台词很多而且听着很复杂很有哲理，又拍了2个半小时，妥妥的商业大制作片长，但其实讲的就是把前作的男女主角救回现实世界的简单故事，穿插了很多三部曲的画面勾回忆。Neo救出来后也没有什么贡献，Trinity也是如此，感觉救不救问题也不大，救出来反而喂我一嘴狗粮，看他们超人附体满天飞，何必呢？主创也不想恰烂钱，所以直接在电影里吐槽华纳兄弟，也不知道这是怎么没被要求重拍的。看着基努的长发和胡子，我一直串戏到John Wick，他的面瘫表演也没什么不同，还好中途有光头造型，不至于太单调。结尾高潮大战拍得不差，但以这个系列的要求来说还是弱爆了。如果老版Agent Smith和Morpheus能参演还能多加一星。
喜欢Lana姐姐把一部电影当成了她疗伤的游乐场，肆意的嘲笑，讽刺，煽情，毁灭。我喜欢长发Anderson虽然已经是胡子拉碴的老头，剃了头的Neo一觉醒来，还是那个20年前的少年。虽然少了妹妹，少了一点灵气，但不管怎么说，Neo和Trinity复活了，就是最好的不是吗。
