This was an Awesome story and the anamation was great!
The movie felt like it was more a short film than a whole movie. It had a lot of plot holes. But, the plain terminator/matrix theme was a win for me.
'9' is an exceptional movie that has stepped out of the preverbeal darkness and has stolen my heart. In fact, I would even go as far as to say that if this movie was a women then, I would ask for its hand in marriage!
Set in a post apocalyptic world, shortly after the huma...( read more)
A fantastic movie. Went in expecting nothing, but walked out very pleased. Seriously a must-see movie.
I like all tim burton movies and tis one was defenitly good. WARNING not for childeren under 10
I really enjoyed this movie and thought it was the cutest thing. I loved all the character and the animation which makes up for the standard plot.
Decent little animation, nothing special but watchable. The characters were a little bit samey and predictable (feisty female character that doesnt take any crap from anyone, anyone?) and it's all a little bit obvious but its nicely put together and the inconclusive ending made...( read more)
When you watch this film, you can see that the people who made this had spent alot of time and hard work on this, the CGI is absolutely Brilliant, it is a real joy to watch.
The visual is outstanding but the plot has some serious problems. Nevertheless is from Tim Burton, you should see it!
This looks like a cross between The Matrix and The Nightmare Before Christmas. Creepy-assed animation. Looks intriguing, but might wait for the DVD.
While the story may seem familiar, classic even, the amount of creativity on display here is astounding.
good concept based on short, the cast is good. the ending felt anti-climatic after all the action and incomplete story.
A very dark but enjoyable animated movie about a group of puppets trying to survive in a post apocalyptic wasteland whilst being hunted doen by giant robotic beasts! It's quite scary at times and there are some pretty sad moments. Not sure if children would appreciate it but ad...( read more)
They sure do know how to make dead bodies look real like it was filmed in real life that's for sure, I like it. The story was great, I liked the movie but I guess I was in the wrong movie theater were a kid screaming was right in front of me and a baby crying right behind me with...( read more)
As a film aimed for adults, it's flawed. The storyline has a lot of interesting potential, but it's plotting is very straight forward, too straight forward actually. The film only grabs the most necessary details, but this is a problem as the film goes on, as it makes some safe t...( read more)
I had hight expectations to this movie. Probably too high, without knowing anything about it. So I was disappointed. But not because it is a bad movie, but because it was more symbolic and less available than I prefer.
Pinocchio meets Terminator in this well-animated, but rather mediocre CGI flick. You'd think a movie produced by a creative genius like Tim Burton would be really amazing, but it seems his contribution to this has been meagre in reality. An advertisting trick, to lure more people...( read more)
Amazing animation, somewhat interesting story but they could have done more. Seemed more like a video game. Worth checking out on DVD
"9" is an ambitious film with extraordinary visuals that unfortunately just doesn't quite gel into a cohesive whole. The plot and characters are extremely thin and forgettable, but as a visual feast "9" excels. On that one strength alone, the film works just enough to be recommen...( read more)
A visually charged meditation on religion, science, war, technology, and faith (as in faith in others and such). It's short, moves quickly, and the fact that sheer innocence and curiousity sets off the main plot is interesting. It's also telling that one of the major sequences he...( read more)
although other animation may have been previous Bekmambetov and Burton had delivered an incredibly mastered CG film not to be discredited for it's behind the scenes talent
9 pieces of one's soul to save humanity. A simple concept and easy to grasp. Within the first 10 minutes the characters are introduced and the action starts. At first i thought it might be too short but no it's just right. A fast paced animation movie with the magic and why not e...( read more)
It was a pretty decent movie, not that crazy about it but it was okay..
I was actually expecting more from this movie since Tim Burton is involved in this movie...
It's a little dull throughout, but I give it points for being original in concept.
The characters are awkwardly adorable too.
9: Why do you listen to 1?
#5: A group must have a leader.
9: But what if he's wrong?
I totally love this movie... very innovative and compelling!! Tells a teriffic story and in such a uniquely new way!!
Interesting way of saying: "What makes us human is our souls."
Has a nice touch when is comes to creativity and style.
Post-apocalyptic animated fairy-tale with a whole bag of Tim Burton-ness. Charming characters and cool monsters. Perfect voice actors. Nothing bad to say about this one as long as you know its a fairy-tale.
Pretty darn good. Had elements that could be found in Burton movies, post-apocolyptic action flicks, and stories of heroism. Awesome alround... very few offsetting segments. Enjoyable and visually stimulating.
Average flick with little emotional engagement inspired from me. Brilliant premise, but ultimately a largely dull and flat cartoon that takes itself very seriously. Unremarkable. Kept the kids happy.
Not as great as I thought it would be. I think 9 had a lot of potential to be an awesome movie, but the story seemed lacking. The details were rich, and the acting was good. 9 is pretty and extremely creative, but without the story, the movie falls short.
great animation, great idea. has that little bit of imagination and magic to it.
