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".
“find me ”给我整哭了，孤独、童心永远可以共鸣，看了预告之后故事明晰但还是想看就是如此吧。虽说新兴元素的思考都是从前出现过的，后半截成改变世界多少也有些随意。而且六岁派对的朋友们的肤色真的很政治正确，（或许是我政治敏感）奶奶的身份安排也是个比较奇怪的点。
设定新颖，画面色彩极其舒适，首尾呼应，彩蛋多且有趣。非主角的角色（家人，朋友，老师）性格刻画过少，且人物行动逻辑、故事情节和人物性格转换生硬。故事探讨的在新一轮科技革命和产业革命带来的变化下，社交和友谊的本质是什么，显然电影给出的答卷并不那么让人满意，但丝毫不影响这部电影整体的观感依旧非常舒适。
ron很可爱，反讽社交网络满分，社恐如果拿到一个正常版的Bbot真的会吓死。
结尾大可不必这样，不是有备份嘛，再搞一个空机器导入备份不就行了
每当动画片里出现高科技公司巨头时，多少会感觉这是在致敬、或恶搞、或映射乔帮主。而B-Bot小白也许就是未来AI版的Pad机器人。人类从古至今都需要社交。这种需求甚至可以上升到本能的程度。当然，社交的原始目的、本源需求到底是什么，可能也不太好说。但哪怕患有社恐，也不应该依赖机器才能完成社交。
又是一部科技对人类影响题材的电影。最终一定是美好的，不过过程也不精彩，最后去云端找数据，哪怕是动画片也太扯了。
移动互联到万物互联过渡时期诞生的社交网络科幻风格
6.2/10，《未来机器城》开场要是有个迪士尼的LOGO，那豆瓣上还不得上个8.0分？emmmm，你品，你细品。
only the true friend will show up when you need him around.
个人评分6分（主观影评、不喜勿喷）
absalom名字梗我永远也迈不过去，想起来就笑得要死，光靠这个我能笑到明年了
I AM FOR MAKING FRIENDS.好梗，可惜说不好故事。
戴着红线帽词库仅限于A开头单词尤喜欢冷吐槽的单机奔走吆喝型暖光小夜灯机器人🤖️
大数据与AI逆变的元素与概念都有些old cliché. 算是热热闹闹的温馨片吧
但大概更想给成年人一个启示
高科技公司大数据算法 个人主义典型美式故事 人类无不挂念大苏 机器人的命也是命 辛辛苦苦设计的机器一摔就变了，保护装置太差 我要成为机器人之王
看到四十分钟了，还是看不进去，太幼稚了。并且角色设计的也不可爱。忍耐着看完，还是觉得做CG动画一旦用“人类”作为角色，一般都很丑...
这是大白变成小白的故事了，应该就是批判现在的这种电子社交圈，还是走出家门和朋友约着吃吃饭喝喝酒，一起跑步爬山旅游互动才是正理。
不喜欢结局。
前半段拿人工智障开涮足够逗趣，不过凡是以怪咖为主角的动画喜剧，似乎总免不了让主角在经历一番磨难或奇遇后悟到友谊是魔法，顺便附一段冗长无聊的说教。开什么玩笑，片子里主角的“朋友们”，真的有啥非去结交不可的必要么。
