Plot | Cast | Goofs | Synopsis

Mentre esplora lo spazio per nuovi mondi abitabili, un'astronave appartenente alla società di bioingegneria Life Foundation scopre quattro forme di vita aliene e le riporta sulla Terra. Uno di questi fugge in transito, causando il crollo della nave in Malaysia, ma la Life Foundation recupera gli altri tre e li trasporta nel proprio centro di ricerca a San Francisco. Il capo della fondazione, Carlton Drake, diventa ossessionato dal legame dei simbionti con gli umani, per preparare l'umanità all'inevitabile collasso ecologico della Terra, e inizia a fare esperimenti illegali su vagabondi, provocando numerosi morti (tra cui uno dei rimanenti simbionti), e attirando l'attenzione del giornalista investigativo Eddie Brock, che organizza un'intervista con Drake attraverso la sua ragazza Anne Weying, un avvocato affiliato alla Life Foundation. Disubbidendo alle istruzioni, Eddie affronta Drake con materiale confidenziale che indica la trasgressione che ha rubato dall'e-mail di Anne, portando a licenziare sia Eddie che Anne dai loro rispettivi posti di lavoro e a far finire la loro relazione. <br>Sei mesi dopo, Eddie viene avvicinato da uno degli scienziati di Drake, Dora Skirth, che non è d'accordo con i metodi di Drake e vuole aiutare Eddie a denunciarlo. Con il suo aiuto, Brock irrompe nel centro di ricerca di Drake per acquisire prove dai suoi crimini e, nella perquisizione dell'edificio, scopre che una sua conoscente, Maria, è diventata una delle cavie di Drake. Eddie tenta di salvarla, ma la donna lo attacca e il simbionte in suo possesso, si trasferisce dal suo corpo a quello di Eddie, uccidendola nel processo. Brock riesce a scappare, ma presto inizia a mostrare strani sintomi e si rivolge a Anne per chiedere aiuto. Il suo nuovo fidanzato, il dottor Dan Lewis, esamina Eddie, scoprendo il simbionte e apprendendo che è vulnerabile al fuoco e alle frequenze sopra i 4000 Hz. <br>Nel frattempo, Drake punisce Skirth per il suo tradimento esponendola a uno dei rimanenti simbionti, lasciando il simbionte di Brock come l'unico esemplare sopravvissuto. Eddie viene attaccato dai mercenari impiegati da Drake per recuperare il simbionte, ma esso si impossessa del corpo di Eddie, trasformandolo in una creatura mostruosa e altamente letale per respingere gli attaccanti. Prendendo rifugio in un vicino faro, il simbionte comunica con Eddie, presentandosi come Venom, e lo convince a formare un'alleanza, in modo che possa sperimentare la vita attraverso Brock, mentre Eddie si gode gli attributi superumani che il simbionte gli offre. Eddie usa le sue nuove abilità per irrompere nel suo vecchio posto di lavoro per rivelare i crimini di Drake, ma viene intercettato dai mercenari mentre esce e allora si trasforma ancora una volta in Venom riuscendo quindi a scappare. Anne lo chiama nell'ufficio di Lewis, dove Eddie scopre che il simbionte sta lentamente marcendo i suoi organi interni. Anche se il simbionte afferma che fa parte della loro simbiosi e che può ripararli, Anne usa una macchina di risonanza magnetica per indebolire il simbionte abbastanza a lungo da separarsi da Eddie, ma quest'ultimo viene poi catturato dagli uomini di Drake. <br>Alla sede della Life Foundation, Brock scopre che Drake si è unito al simbionte fuggitivo, "Riot", e che stanno progettando di lanciare una sonda nello spazio e riportare sulla Terra una legione di simbionti per assimilare il genere umano. Nel frattempo, Anne si lega a malincuore con Venom e irrompe nella Life Foundation per salvare Eddie, trasferendogli il simbionte con un bacio. Eddie e Venom si fondono ancora una volta e partono per fermare Drake e Riot, combattendo contro loro sulla piattaforma di lancio della sonda. Nel violentissimo scontro Riot si dimostra ancora più potente di Venom, riuscendo infine a staccarlo dal corpo di Eddie e trafiggere mortalmente quest'ultimo. Venom, però, si riunisce all'uomo salvandolo. Mentre la sonda decolla, Venom riesce a danneggiarla, facendola esplodere, uccidendo Drake e Riot e sventando il loro piano. Poco dopo, Brock ha riparato la sua relazione con Anne ed è tornato al giornalismo, mentre lavora segretamente al fianco del simbionte redento per proteggere la città dai criminali. <br>In una scena a metà dei titoli di coda, Eddie si prepara a intervistare il serial killer Cletus Kasady in carcere.

When Eddie is surrounded in his apartment and escapes out the window to another apartment below, he is shot at continuously and Venom creates a shield to stop the incoming bullets. When the shield dissipates, the bullets fall to the floor, creating a tinkling sound commonly associated with the sound of bullet casings hitting the floor, instead of the correct thud of heavier, lead bullets. <br>------------------------<br><br>In the chase scene with the Ducati scrambler, it at certain times sounds like a real Ducati with a twin-cylinder engine. But then most of the time during the chase the sound is edited to a 4-cylinder bike. <br>------------------------<br><br>After Anne was fired she walked out of the building holding a box full of her stuff. While arguing with Eddie she dropped the box and a few things fell out. However, when she picked the box up nothing was on the ground. <br>------------------------<br><br>When Eddie leaves his phone on the MNBN desk, the desk is in the penthouse of the building which is 48 storeys. When leaving the office building via the elevator the elevator banks distinctly indicate that he is on floor 8. <br>------------------------<br><br>A drone crashes into the back of a Chrysler sedan and explodes, but when the flames dissipate there is no damage to the body of the sedan (i.e., no impact damage on the trunk lid). <br>------------------------<br><br>When Maria rolls off of Eddie and collapses on the lab floor, her head turns to her right, facing away from him, but when Eddie looks at her a moment later, her head is to her left, facing him. <br>------------------------<br><br>Carlton Drake gives his lapel pin to the little girl who wanted to ask a question, but in the next scene as he is walking with Eddie, it is back on his jacket. <br>------------------------<br><br>During the chase scene, Eddie/Venom turns left up a side street, which is a one-way, as there is a 'do not enter' sign at the bottom of the hill, and it is a one lane street; as Eddie/Venom is seen from behind, going uphill, it is now a two lane street with a double yellow line down the middle, with a traffic sign at the top of the hill facing him. <br>------------------------<br><br>When the Malaysian EMT was walking towards a Chinese market from the crashed ambulance, autumn leaves could be seen at the roadside. Malaysia is a tropical country, there should not be any seasonal changes in even the place is at Sibu, Sarawak, Borneo island. <br>------------------------<br><br>Anne picks up Eddie/Venom at the Transamerica Pyramid then heads to a hospital by driving along the Embarcadero (the street that goes along the waterfront). This street is out of the way to go to any hospital in the city with numerous other streets offering more direct and quicker routes. <br>------------------------<br><br>The scenes with the Malaysian ambulance shows the vehicle driving on the right hand side of the road, and the steering wheel on the left-hand side of the vehicle. Malaysia drives on the left side of the road (like in the UK & Australia), and the steering wheel should be on the right-hand side of the vehicle. <br>------------------------<br><br>When Brock is in the MRI, the sound frequency emitted by the machine huts the symbiote. MRIs do not use sound frequencies. There is a loud knocking noise when a test is performed, but is not a sound that emits a high frequency. It is the equivalent of someone knocking loudly on a door. MRIs use high powered magnets when they perform their tests. An ultrasound, on the other hand, would probably produce the high frequency sound that would hurt the symbiote.<br><br>And, speaking of magnets, the room in which the MRI is installed has metal objects all over the place. You can not have metal objects in a room with an MRI installed, unless said objects are tightly fastened down. There have been deaths from metal being "sucked" into the machine with a patient being tested. A young boy was recently killed from a fire extinguisher being "sucked" into the machine at high velocity and striking the boy in the head. <br>------------------------<br><br>When Eddie Brock is in the kitchen of his San Francisco apartment, the grocery bags on the counter are from Ralph's. Ralph's is a grocery chain from Southern California that does not have locations in the San Francisco Bay Area where the movie takes place. <br>------------------------<br><br>During the chase scene at around 56 minutes the security team leader says "Target is now East-bound on Grant" but Grant Avenue in San Francisco runs North/South not East/West. <br>------------------------<br><br>In the MRI lab, the device used to deliver sound to the test subject (46:16) is a first generation Mackie Big Knob studio monitor controller (originally produced in 2005), with the model name on the top right corner covered with black tape. However, only a power cable is shown connected - there are no audio output cables connected to the controller, which would normally be seen anywhere on the rear from the centre "big knob" to the power connector on the right, including below the three volume controls beside the power cable. <br>------------------------<br><br>The Ducati Scrambler has no mirror in the first scene. In the chase scene there is one on the left side. <br>------------------------<br><br>When Dan performs tests on Eddie, he calls Ann to get reach Eddie and also tells her what he found. This directly violates patient Dr./Patient confidentiality as regulated by the Health Privacy Information Act. Dan could lose his medical license if it was discovered he was sharing medical diagnosis information with someone other than the patient. <br>------------------------<br><br>In a scene where Eddie is crouched inside Mrs. Chen's Grocery Store, he leans up against a stack of MILLVILLE cereal, which is an exclusive brand of ALDI grocery stores. While there are Aldi locations in Southern California, it's unlikely she would be buying from a retailer instead of a wholesaler. <br>------------------------<br><br>At the end, when Eddie is walking to Mrs. Chen's store, it's daytime, but when he exits the store it's night time. Actually, when Eddie enters the store it's clearly dark outside. When he starts walking to the store it's right around sunset (judging by sky color and lighting of the buildings). If it took him 20-30 minutes to reach the store (which is reasonable, since he was walking slowly), it may well be dark. <br>------------------------<br><br>When newly formed 'Venom' breaks out of the Life foundation (which looks like a hi-tech research facility) they don't know who stole the organism. Why not just check the security cam feed? Why waste time interrogating the doctor at all? However it is possible that they don't keep cameras around the facility. The facility is secret and doing some pretty unethical stuff. They intentionally don't have cameras hanging around recording all the illegal activity. Especially in the location they are testing humans. Or else Dr. Skirth wouldn't have needed Eddie to take the photos for evidence, just take the security camera footage. <br>------------------------<br><br>Some assume that the crash site is in Cebu, which is in the Philippines, not Malaysia. However, it's not Cebu, but Sibu, which is indeed in the Malaysian state of Sarawak. The map on the computer in the control center shows the states of Sabah and Sarawak, in east Malaysia. The medical technician actually speaks Malay. <br>------------------------<br><br>The symbiotes at the lab are shown to reject and kill most hosts, yet Venom and Riot change hosts repeatedly throughout the film whenever they want or need to with no ill effects. Dr. Skirth explains that hosts must be compatible to survive, but the nature of this compatibility is never explained, so it can be intricate enough to explain all the host-symbiot interactions in the movie. Also, it appears that symbiotes can sense compatibility from afar, so they choose the hosts they need (the symbiotes in the lab aren't given a choice). It is also possible that Dr. Skirth was wrong and symbiotes can assimilate or kill a host at will. Indeed, Venom was killing Eddie at first simply because he was hungry. It is also possible that symbiotes learn from experience and become better at assimilation. Indeed, it seems that as time goes on more and more hosts survive in the lab experiments. <br>------------------------<br><br>The movie establishes that the symbiotes are hurt by loud sounds between 4000 and 6000 hertz, even though hertz are a measure of frequency, not volume. But it's not a mistake. For a sound to affect the symbiotes it has to be both in this specific frequency range, which apparently resonates with this life form, and loud enough to make this resonance harmful. In particular, higher frequencies would have no such effect regardless of the volume, and even sounds in the 4-6 KHz range would have minimal effect if they're not loud enough (otherwise Venom would be under constant pain, because such frequencies are quite common, well within human auditory range). <br>------------------------<br><br>When the little girl wants to speaks to Drake during the factory tour the other kids shush her. Drake explains the girl not to let others silence her, then gives her his badge and leaves the group without letting her ask a question, essentially silencing the girl. Actually when Drake is leaving for his interview, he tells the girl that another scientist will answer her question. <br>------------------------<br><br>Before the mercs knocked on Eddie's door Venom sensed them. When Anne was taking Eddie to the hospital later on in the movie Venom didn't sense the drone flying behind Anne's car. However, we don't know how Venom's senses work. It is possible that he senses living beings much better than machines. Besides, hearing approaching humans from a quiet apartment is much easier than hearing a drone from inside a moving car on a loud street. <br>------------------------<br><br>When Carlton Drake is giving a tour to the school children, he gives his lapel pin to one of the school children. In the next scene, after Carlton excuses himself to interview with Eddie, Carlton is, again, wearing the pin he just gave away. However his assistant Dr. Skirth said he needed to get changed for his interview so he could've gotten a new pin while changing. <br>------------------------<br><br>People's breath can be seen at the crash site that's supposed to be in Malaysia. It doesn't get cold enough there to see your breath. <br>------------------------<br><br>The African American test subject is strapped to an upright xray film holder and has a portable xray machine pointed at him, neither of which can do any of the imaging that shows up on the monitors. Same items are seen in the room during the first test subjects exposure session. These two items are not normally used together for diagnostic xrays anyway. <br>------------------------<br><br>Eddie wears a ring on his left forefinger. When he's watering his plant and when he's walking to Drake's rocket while talking to Venom there are a few shots where his ring is on his right forefinger. It's because the camera is mirrored. His hairstyle is different too. <br>------------------------<br><br>During the end scene when Eddie/Venom is walking out of the convenience store, no torso or blood can be seen on the floor behind him despite him just killing off a criminal. Apparently, Venom didn't just bite the criminal's head off, but devoured him whole. <br>------------------------<br><br>
