Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

An interesting film based on an award winning college short, in this the world was destroyed in the 1930's (thinly veiled blaming of Hitler) after a scientist creates a fantastic machine that can create anything. This leads to a robot revolution, all kinds of nasty warfare and the end of humanity. But the scientist had foresight, and created 9 stitchpunks, who's mission is to revive the earth. An interesting an different little film with some beautiful animation, it's well worth seeing.

Nine was just awful, critics thought it was OKAT, I thought it was probably one of the worst movies of all time, and it doesn't seem to catch my attention.The biggest problem is something a rookie director would make, and I don't mind the outstanding visuals.The huge problem is it is Horribly fast paced. At the beginning, you are shown a clip of 9 being created, and then it shows the creator dying. After that, he goes out in the streets and already meets a new member, and only 5 minutes in, there is an action scene when the monster comes and takes the other guy he met, and then he leaves. That's just 5 minutes, now, the movie shows a telescope of 9 walking forward and then he falls, he wakes up in a room and he is being stitched together by a new friend. (and only 10 minutes in) He meets number 8 and number 1. Also, there is poor character development, you only see that he is a total wiener. And quite old. Then you meet what I believe is 6, and he's really addicted to the source. Now what about 7? 7 was believed to be dead and they meet 7 while they looked for the guy the monster took, and 7 appears while they're being attacked, how could you meet a friend after 10,000 years after they were believed to be dead? Wow, how stupid.But, the movie is so bad, and so poorly crafted, it has that so-bad-its-good kind of feeling that makes you want to keeping on watching the awfulness. One final note: Voice acting was cancer, and so was the dialog.

I remember my brother and I being so stoked for this movie as kids. When it finally came out on DVD we were disappointed. Years later I watched it again, and found I was even more disappointed. 9 had a fantastic idea. I wanted to love it so much because of this. I mean, sackboys surviving in the apocalypse? That's pretty original. I've never heard of anything like it. Unfortunately, it was unable to carry out it's fantastically original idea. The story was lacking and the plot was quite formulaic, it felt like Shane Acker had a good idea and nothing more. No direction or idea of how to push these characters through 79 minutes without it getting too boring. Which brings me to the characters themselves. The characters are cliché, formulated around the average cast of characters that are used in a lot of movies. The badass female, the big strong man, the greedy king, the geek, the cripple, the neutral lead, etc. There's really not a whole lot in terms of characters, and although I found some points of peril (specifically near the end) to be rather distressing or sad at points, I never felt like I truly knew or cared about the characters. Overall, 9 was a cool movie. With a fantastic idea, an equally fantastic artistic design, and enough character development for you to care at least a little, it's worth checking out. Unfortunately it suffered from unoriginality in plot and relatively flat characters. That's not to say that formulaic movies are bad, but some just make it too obvious, and this was one of them. I give it extra points for its idea and art, but when it comes down to it, 9 is severely lacking. I would've said its nothing special but it truly is special, it just didn't know it. I'd love to see a re- imagining/reboot of this movie in the future, but chances are that won't happen. Check it out though, it's not great, but it's worth a watch.

I'll start by saying nothing other then wow. When i sat down and watched this movie i had no knowledge of what it was. I had not seen any trailers, read any info about it or even heard of it.9, i thought. Well it's animated and i'm not really a fan of that category.. whatever. Let's just see what it is. From the first opening scene to the last of the end credits i could not take my eyes of the screen.This movie had absolutely everything. Visuals, story, music, atmosphere and above all, an unimaginable epic way of delivering. There is really not much to say about it other then four letters. EPIC!When you watch this movie, don't read up. Come in unprepared and let the story just unfold before you. There is really nothing bad to say about this masterpiece. If you have not seen this yet, go ahead and watch it now!This movie scores: 10/10.
