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".
此外多说一句，一旦剧情模板和人物塑造很常见，那剧情的节奏把握就会更重要这次电影STAFF表里面有三个编剧，老虚具体做了啥，抱着咋样的心态写的，估计只有他自己知道了。
技术力是有了，作画很漂亮，但就是一点也喜欢不起来。很多看了像吃苍蝇一样的桥段，看内核的话根本就是落后于时代的作品。
6.5/10。画面真的好看，虽不及新海诚细节丰富但我竟更吃这部的画风。跑酷题材带来了流动感，表现力是电影化的。故事化用《海的女儿》，螺纹与地球关联的概念想到《海兽之子》，脚本在我这还行，我不满的点是浪费了一个好的世界观，跑酷与泡泡搭不上边。像小红书推的星空软糖（我编的），吃完后就落寞了。
奈何剧情跟不上
密集恐惧不要看//场面很大 设定越看到后面越hmmm 女主好像洗着洗着就没了的肥皂（这是可以说的吗//女主是谁配的 棒读//这么牛的班底团队 想想都知道大家期待值有多高 但作画、配乐、配音、剧作 我也不愣比了 只能说有些几百亿大神是真的在领域里杀死了比赛…搞奇异设定也要尊重基本法//斐波那契看了都想流泪…这个主题升华让我不知该说什么…//男主露脐装很潮啊//越想越气…是不是几位大哥攒局骗Netflix钱啊？？这是老虚应该有的水平吗//一年至少看东京塔爆炸五次 那个泡真的没有neta akira吗//现在作画都是一张几帧啊 前半段是真的有点不行//亚当和夏娃 海的女儿 罗密欧与朱丽叶
正如标题，泡泡很美，但泡泡再美始终还是泡泡，一戳就破。
比新海诚还美的画面，比新海诚还烂的故事。每次拉特写男女主的眼睛都变得pikapika，长长睫毛眼波盈盈，脸蛋上一抹欲说还休的红晕就真的……好恶心啊！用马戏的话说，porn filter又来了！PS. 天气之子我觉得已经很烂了，竟然还有人要学，不可能吧！
你们咋这么能双标呢？漫威超英看爽了就给高分，日本爽片就吐槽剧情给低分，旺达幻视有几分这片就有几分。
画面和动作都好看得不行，但不管爱情多美，男人都请别再这么感动自己了好吗
荒木哲郎+虚渊玄+泽野弘之+小畑健+wit studio，只能说buff越满越让人失望。
所以为什么临到世界末日一群年轻人却在天天跑酷啊——我完全是出于对这叠buff一样的卡司表的包容才把这个问题忽视过去，我看我才是爱的战士
从色彩到人设都土。本身小畑健的画风因为更偏写实在一众二次元里就显得有点地味，这次土在女主身上更是得到集中体现，连土味jk都不会买的改良校服以及仿佛颜料不要钱一样五彩缤纷的配色让女主像十年前的晋江玛丽苏。从零开始的三无人外养成也是退环境老土人设。和《天气之子》一样不敢描写真正的末世，片中的废墟东京更像世外桃源，一帮中二靠跑酷能决定几乎所有事，更加让观众看不出生存的压力。
虽然看似是一干业界大佬为表“我们也能抢新海诚生意！”而做的奇幻世界系boy meet girl青春恋爱故事，但其实还算放了老虚又或者N+系剧作常加的残酷辅料，看到最后女主半身化为洗洁精泡沫确实有种……《沙耶之歌》的感觉？但剧本上的根本缺陷就是铺垫不足，理应好好做出来的日常戏码变成蒙太奇，认识90分钟(以内)就要生要死，反派刚露脸就光速洗白，情感难以维继。作画方面大部分时间也比较平平，小畑健原设不特写加重线条就越发像是田中将贺脸，只有几处动作戏比较好，但就是细致的镜头不太流畅，流畅的镜头不够细致(也欠缺“即使不细致也能够牢牢抓住人的”魄力)。整3星。
虚无缥缈不知所云的内核加上莫名其妙的跑酷加上神魔恋的戏份，欣赏无能。
这么说吧，《泡泡》叠的 buff 从来不是什么什么荒木哲郎虚渊玄泽野弘之小畑健，而是：“后你名”时代的拙劣模仿印记 + 网飞典型噱头 + 商业至上的东宝嫡系 STORY. 制作体制 + 没有一个是稳定要素、空有名气的主创 + 演员配音已经无法满足引流、直接请 TikTok 网红为主角配音，可谓集齐了当今日本动画几大最新最 in 的投机取巧，酿造年度最大的车祸。顺便，开头从宇宙拉近到城市、结尾再反拉回去的片，我只记得还有一部叫《超强台风》。
6.0
除了跑酷和美术，其他都好烂（bgm算一般吧），剧情硬伤啥都救不回来，真的土到&突兀到无语了
泥潭还有人说像沙耶之歌，emmmmm不予置评
wit制作可圈可点。但是剧情好赶好赶，前期情感铺垫完全没到位啊……而且中间浇花之后那段有点尬。加一点，如果想要表现生命的渺小与伟大的话，你这也没怎么讲啊
逻辑啊科学啊已经不重要了，反正就是借着这个设定把故事改头换面再讲一遍。我唯一在意的是为何女主总是袜子和内裤都一长一短。
