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.
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。
看完之后感觉很复杂……虽然音乐和画面格调极高，台词和氛围调节得极好，然而故事内核和走向则就有点简陋和荒唐了。动作戏充满槽点，逼格满满的战士感觉像是原始部落，杀人基本靠近战，而且武术指导明显不行。不说用专门的武器，就单那个用来开门的激光钻，拿着这种大杀器只用来穿墙就有点离谱——后来知道其实原作设定可以解释，虽然电影里没有。
维伦纽瓦用摄影、音乐和人物特写撑住了一个平铺直叙的故事……开头。然后你琢磨了一下，还挺好看的，不知不觉过去了两个半小时，这是得了老谋子的真传吧。（张艺谋来拍科幻大概就是这样了）
不好意思，我可以吹爆《银翼杀手2049》，却实在无法尬吹《沙丘》，庞大的故事构架树立起了高耸的观影门槛，不做功课直奔电影院的话你根本看不出感觉，本人二刷加做功课才勉强看出点好来，但依然觉得这就是一部长达156分钟的序幕，什么都讲了又什么都没讲。《沙丘》系列究竟好不好看，还有待时间的检验。作曲家汉斯季默统治全场，他的存在感太强了。最后，千万别看3D！千万别看3D！千万别看3D！
维导的特色淋漓尽致，氛围感拉满，异世界架构得很好，人物也都立住了。电影的美学与降临和银翼杀手2049一脉相承，尤其是建筑风格和飞船造型。教科书般的光影，克制的表演和台词，配合季默大师操刀的震撼配乐，太空歌剧的庄重感扑面而来，电影院观影的极致体验。还要感慨一句，选角值得一座奥斯卡。
殖民主义下起点宫斗小说的剧本水平，但这部电影属于电影院。
星际大战的风格，里面的boss是魔人布欧，男主永远一个表情。难得的在电影院看的片，就是看看特技，还算看得过瘾。就是看完之后，回想剧情很肤浅，毫无东西，不知道剧中人物到底在忙活什么。6/10
视效和原声是做的真好，杜比全景深震耳欲聋，高亮厅3D还是有点嫌暗，暗调场景很多，也很美。故事线相对简单，拍得虽慢，也能被踏实按在座位上。视觉系统和佐杜洛夫斯基那版没啥关系，和2049有点像。维伦纽瓦挺能招钱，花得也不错，期待一打续集。
鲜血与利刃划破梦境的壮美，忠诚与背叛刺穿虚伪的和平，荣耀与野心葬身无尽的沙海，仇恨与勇气开启宿命的征途。火光中的阴谋不能改变注定降临的逆转，迷惘中的先知难以预测即将成真的寓言，虚空中的恐惧无法战胜孤注一掷的勇士，冥冥中的指引不断推翻尚未定格的未来。投之亡地而后存，陷之死地而后生。维伦纽瓦兼顾了艺术与商业的平衡，但在表现力上终究还是差了点，中后段甚至有失控的迹象，节奏过渡不够平滑且过分依赖配乐，多数信息量还是用对白的方式给出，由此看来，他还没有做好充分的准备，只能选择一个最保险的方式：拍一部精致细腻的超级预告片，并且在预告中加入大量梦境，寓言，征兆，以此来稀释剧作本身的生硬与陈旧。没有人天生就是领袖，但临危受命，必将奋不顾身。厄崔迪家族的陨灭与救世主的寻梦之路，传奇才刚刚开始，期待后续的展开。
主角团的颜值是不是太高了？老爸伊萨克，老妈丽贝卡，儿子蒂莫西，女朋友赞达亚，保镖还是没胡子的海王。。。。
电影看到一半特别想点个外卖，二刷的话，一定要多带点吃的＝。＝甜茶太美味了，为什么里面是个男角色都可以上去摸他脸！我在内心振臂高呼：他应该去演GAY！！！（噢 演过了 那就再演一次 求求了）
非常疲惫，毫无快感。导演对自己的视听过于自信，以至于故事极其薄弱，不接受是否看过原著的论调，只求导演不写剧本。
Denis Villeneuve, "your pitch was too forced."
讲的是一位王子在异星球追寻春梦的故事doge求求维导了，赶快拍第二部吧。这真的是我能在21世纪看到的电影吗
好莱坞电影的本质就是要制造奇观，这一点完完全全的做到了，很多画面真的让人感到惊艳，且延续了作者性，并不突兀。剧本改编的切入点做的也非常棒，聚焦于新皇的个人成长，在预知能力和个人反抗上下足了文章，且节奏不乱，降低观影门槛，做到了雅俗共赏，真的让人惊叹。再过几年沉淀真的可以拿奥斯卡了。
恢弘壮阔，大气磅礴。实拍的质感远非绿幕所能比拟，古典主义美学风格令人叹为观止，这场倾情打造的视听盛宴堪称BDO迷恋者的福音，其诗意与震撼在IMAX2D加持下宛如神迹。作为史诗序章，张弛有度的节奏间承载着惊人的信息量，不仅成功构建起庞大复杂的世界观，还为续作埋下多处伏笔。人类文明纵然历经万年，也不过是无尽的循环，无论科技如何发达，人性永远无法改变，在欲望的驱使下争斗不止，与过往和当前一般无二。这层宿命论的外衣正是原著最为深刻隽永之处，亦是影片充满悲悯底色的缘由。此等严肃向科幻巨制如今可谓凤毛麟角，维伦纽瓦在公认的“影视化难度之最”领域交上了近乎完美的答卷。遗憾的是它生在这个流量至上、娱乐至死的快餐时代，即便观影门槛已然极低，仍不免与重映的指环王系列殊途同归，不由得感叹（没）文化（且）自信正在广泛实现。
看完满脑子都是背景嗡嗡嗡声的沙漠，非常汉斯季默+维伦纽瓦。总的来说挺看人的电影，原著粉表示满足，新观众梦境部分可能云里雾里（其实这已经是原作最不神道的部分剧情了），不过看看沙漠奇观也可以嘛；改名叫沙丘1或者沙丘上可能对路人观众好一点。凯恩斯这角色改编的挺莫名其妙的，为了zzzq么？
声音大得震耳朵，猝不及防就结束了，甜茶实在太帅了，把男生都掰弯了，看这个电影最大的收获就是知道了，这个世界上没有直男！他说，如果是甜茶这样的，可🉑！！！
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。
这样的电影应该给我大脑里安装个世界观植入功能芯片，如此这般才能让我安心镇定地欣赏它
