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".
很癫狂，很飞，很天马行空，很自由，玩得很开心，一路狂奔，拍一部顶十部，剪辑和表演的空间很大，很遗憾的是在情感上，尽管它打动了很多人，但并能完全没打动我，如果更聚焦在秀莲的个人挣扎上可能会更有力量吧，对我来说。这可能就是不加节制的副作用吧。
就像官方中文片名一样，天马行空，脑洞非常大，无厘头，但又讲了一个何为爱的故事。居然有两段拉拉恋情！杨姐演技厉害
不是很满意，主要是主题太浅薄，所以感觉是高高抬起轻轻放下，看个热闹吧。
132分钟穿梭无数个多元宇宙（or平行宇宙）寻找解决中年夫妻问题，父女问题，母女问题以及和自己的问题。问题都是老问题，但天马行空无厘头最后还能串成一个cycle，我拍手叫绝！最后我要说，杨紫琼才是真的文武双全，打戏看得太舒服了。
整整两个半小时啊！翻转全宇宙，球球了Evelyn和Joy在一起吧，有Becky什么事儿啊！有内老公什么事儿啊，还没她爹重要。眼花缭乱的剪辑贡献了很多可以做GIF的冥场面，如果每个人做的梦可以全息投影，应该就是这样吧
台词和动作一样密，留白空间太少；每个平行宇宙都像贵价方便面，高奢的定位速食的内核；每个你都一样，每个你们都不一样，脸谱化的频繁穿越，花拳绣腿的功夫真的精神分裂.PS.海报和漫画很喜欢.
因为满脑子都是瑞克和莫蒂，对本片就没那么惊喜。
喜欢剪辑和镜头语言，但叙事很乱，不过它乱有乱的逻辑。最受不了的是凭什么我要把沙子揉碎在眼睛里笑着活着？难道这个世界的底层还不够温顺吗？我可以慈悲的活着，不代表我需要承担过错，放弃改变的权利。说到底，世界变成今天这样，不正是因为白莲盛放。
天呐，这就是我梦想中的电影啊，这是属于女性的“超级英雄主义”，我看到了三四十年后我的生活依然会有美好的希望，好羡慕杨紫琼，在这个年纪拥有了属于自己的宇宙，那些迷影的回忆，也是她的精彩人生，好剧本好设定好角色，当然她也值得。
拍得太松了，并没有获得预想的快感。华裔标签疯狂贴在皮肉上，内核表达却与“华”“亚”二字都不搭界。对“多元宇宙”这个概念的想象力很贫乏，全靠风格找补，用自我解构请求观众放弃追问。还有很可惜的一点是，杨紫琼演技不能做到演什么像什么，虽然她很努力了。这几天大家都有点捧过了吧。
家庭中微妙的情感本就是最难以抒发的，特别是抒发到被别人所理解并且亲身感受到。这一切的情绪爆炸，值得这个绚烂的形式来承载。特意回家用大彩电来观赏最佳观影体验。通过这几个月的窒息亲情体验，我十分能产生共鸣，可以代入女儿 、妈妈、外公和那位爸爸。
尽管看过上万部影视，这部备受我期待的《瞬息全宇宙》里那些应接不暇、脑洞大开、天马行空的想象画面依然让我感到惊艳，为眼花缭乱的特效与剪辑点赞，通过电影体验非比寻常的超现实是我喜闻乐见的观影趣味。片中还有一些不只是把我逗乐而是令我哈哈大笑的段落：1.抢塞肛门的情节（前面看到奖杯的外形就邪恶了下，没想到后续竟延伸出如此设计）；2.真人版“料理浣熊王”的亮相；3.SM戏码；4.杨紫琼亲自模仿“料理鼠王”；……P.S.：男主角竟然是曾经观看《夺宝奇兵2》《七宝奇谋》时惊喜过我的关继威！& 虽然略显杂乱的故事剧情有些影响爽度，但我个人整体观感还是胜过《瑞士军刀男》。—— 搜啊找啊，总算知道片中石头段落让我联想起的动画短片了，是《轮盘记》。
喜欢剪辑和镜头语言，但叙事很乱，不过它乱有乱的逻辑。最受不了的是凭什么我要把沙子揉碎在眼睛里笑着活着？难道这个世界的底层还不够温顺吗？我可以慈悲的活着，不代表我需要承担过错，放弃改变的权利。说到底，世界变成今天这样，不正是因为白莲盛放。
说真的，这部电影如果结束在石头那里，会要好很多。
本来是个喜剧片却哭得稀里哗啦。我们总是后悔如果当初……但当下的选择也许并不是最坏的选择，过好我们的自己的每一天，爱我们该爱的人……
我愿意一遍一遍，不厌其烦，生生世世和你一起遭遇百千万劫。像最温柔的那个，地藏王菩萨，共复一形、涕泪哀恋。
一个ABC一家三代其乐融融的搞笑片竟然被定为R级，下三路真没必要。
It's not your fault. Sometimes it came too late.
讲的还是老话题，东亚家庭的爱、矛盾与和解，但是拍出了完全不一样的感觉。相比起turning red，谈论同样的主题，这个的诠释会让我更加能够理解和接受。（同场的西人总在我不太能理解的地方笑出来……在笑声中哭得稀里哗啦的我如此深刻地感受到文化差异……） 冲着琼姐来看的，但是每一位主演的表演，镜头语言和表达方式都很喜欢……（就是看的时候会小小疑惑一下这是得磕了几斤才能有这种……奇思妙想）还有joy的造型！每一个都！喜欢！！！
内核是家庭故事，愛和包容，雖然這樣的老公換我我就不和解了······母女關係的描繪好精彩。
