The story is set in Tokyo, after bubbles that broke the laws of gravity rained down upon the world. Cut off from the outside world, Tokyo has become a playground for a group of young people who have lost their families, acting as a battlefield for parkour team battles as they leap from building to building. Hibiki, a young ace known for his dangerous play style, makes a reckless move one day and plummets into the gravity-bending sea. His life is saved by Uta, a girl with mysterious powers who appears suddenly. The pair then hear a unique sound audible only to them. Why did Uta appear before Hibiki? Their encounter leads to a revelation that will change the world.

When this character study is pushed more to the forefront, all the film’s elements dovetail perfectly -- the post-apocalypse drama, the fantasy romance, and the extreme sports.

I didn’t think I’d experience boredom while watching a film about a team of acrobatic teenagers who compete in life-threatening parkour competitions, all set in a gorgeous yet dystopian version of Tokyo no less.

Rated: 1/4

Little White Lies

A competent film that plays things safe while containing just enough crowd pleasing moments to tide over the majority of viewers.

A dazzling new take on the apocalypse genre that usually resides in a world of blood, mud, and crumbling humanity.

Bubble is a film with a myriad of fantasy and sci-fi concepts but fails to rise above them to create truly compelling character relationships, a death knell for what is, at its core supposed to be a romance.

Rated: B

“Bubble” definitely deserves a watch for its gorgeous visuals, but apart from that, there is very little for anyone to like here.

As a retelling of The Little Mermaid, this movie gets to develop the message. But, as an original production, it misses some development on character depth, on movie structure. And the writers really need a lesson in avoiding info dump. I know that we need to understand The Little Mermaid and the events that happened with the bubbles, but I'm sure there are better ways to deliver them.

It was refreshing and yet sad. The movie left me speechless and the plot was thought through and well put. It had a good start off and hook.

Sometimes you gotta just sit back and enjoy some gorgeous animation. The parkour aspect needs its own show that dives deep into parkour I'd watch it.

Beautiful visuals. A different type of dystopian future, loved the paralelism with a folklore romantic tale with a twist.
