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.
7分。片子的概念还是不错的。只是梁子很简单，这么大（高）概念的片子配一个这样的梁子就会给人一种如《大鱼》一样的“不真实感”。介绍世界观的方式就和当年的《绿灯侠》一样不讨喜，也经不住进一步架构。
仨人中的俩人都至少很久没有经过什么培训就这么一拍屁股就进太空了，是不是有点太儿戏了。
要不是因为杰克吉伦哈尔，我是肯定看不下去的…虽然杰克主导这次银行抢劫，但是看完我一点都不喜欢女主和男二，一个圣母脑残，一个伪善白眼狼。
看了60分钟实在太无趣了，这个框架我也没法接受，看了看导演是谁，更是大失所望 抬屁股就从电影院走了
1.5 Childish kids playing with CGI toys. At least they are not stupid enough to blow up the new World Trade Center. Seriously they should have stopped him ten years ago . Who let him do it again? Oh Chinese money. Fine, don’t look up and keep your head down.
又是一部美利坚拯救地球，拯救全人类的影片。虽然美军在一个城堡里（德什么里什么克堡）企图捣毁月球，但最后还是被英勇的航天人挽回了。
挺爽的 结局也不错 很多东西可太现实了 两人感情刻画的也很好，就是电影院那个1080放那么大的屏幕，太糊了hhh，最开始那一段骑车突突突的那一段，特别震撼，然后后面几个小反转也挺有意思，大晚上看的挺爽的。
前半段简直灾难，后续反转不错，笑点也可
其实还算符合预期 刨去在车上做手术的桥段 剩下的还挺精彩的 这不就是迈克尔贝么 视觉和场面都挺大饱眼福 看完也没觉得无聊 工业程度合格了 就是没弄懂 一个cop的命 就这么珍贵到可以耗费一百个别的cop么 吃奇多的sir也是完全搞笑的存在 让人有点哭笑不得 然后 Jake最近都接咆哮角色啊
嗯 是的 我疯了 这片子满足我所有期待 我就要给五星
三星半，斯德哥尔摩症类型电影（我定的）。其实没太看明白影片核心内容想表达啥？黑白友谊万岁？
是灾难片的老前辈马失前蹄？小人物拯救地球的套路满满，科幻片的基础还是科幻，不然就是玄幻了，格局看似很大，但是展开讲讲，又没讲到什么。如果想看特效，这方面还是在线的，但是你要说剧情方面，其实就有点乏善可陈了。还算及格，真想回到看《后天》时，收到的那种震撼。
Literally a disaster 当然是指电影本身。Jesus，RE导演是怎么把灾难电影拍成真灾难的啊？！（damn尤其考虑到他以前的classic灾难片，就…..无语了），不过想了想，毕竟是独立日2的导演，不奇怪，晚节不保了，早点收手吧，真的。考虑到钱和时间，别看，当然了，要是说“我不带脑子，就想去看看特效大制作balhblah，而且我还比较失眠”，那当然推荐了
爆破贝不行啊，镜头晃得厉害，枪战还没有盗火线来的厉害，康曼德大叔竟然便当了，还以为会和那后勤姑娘滚个床单
看到一群傻屌抢完银行连出门都要走错路，劫匪被被自己司机轧残，我就看不下去了
但实在是有太多没什么道理的剧情点
你以为它是灾难片，其实它是科幻片；你以为它是科幻片，其实它是恐怖片；你以为它是恐怖片，其实它是科教片。所以它到底是什么片？家庭为大，地下飙车太空飙飞船，俊男靓女……没错，它就是速度与激情番外篇之我炸月球救地球！
不愧是爆炸贝，中间大段的追车爆炸戏看的确实挺无聊的，无人机镜头晃来晃去，偶尔几次还行，太多了真有点晕头转向。好在节奏一直在线，两个多小时的片长也撑得过去，并且最后结尾扳回一城，对人性善恶的挣扎使得本片还并不只是纯纯的“爽片”而已。总而言之，也是近期来比较可看的了。吉伦哈尔真的帅啊。
理论过于疯狂，等于是抛弃了常识，凭空虚构，地球不是人类的起源，月球是个巨型结构体，是人类祖先保存火种的最后防御，人工智能要把人类赶尽杀绝，信息过于庞杂，现实被无情推翻，KC听着哈珀的解释一脸懵，观众直接就懵到冒烟儿了。
迈克尔贝依旧让剧中人哔哔个不停，极度让人神烦！
