"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)
This animation is about a group of 9 fabric characters who are the last survivors on earth. The earth has been destroyed by machines that have taken over the world and they are killing everything in sight. Number 9, the last of the fabric characters convinces the others to destro...( read more)
After both Timur Bekmambetov and Tim Burton had a hand in producing this I was kinda expecting some far out fantasy with dark goth elements and neat action sequences but alas its the oppersite (well the action scenes are ok), the whole plot is a very over used story of machines o...( read more)
It was only last summer that "WALL-E" told us to be kind to our fellow plants, and now we have "9" - an illustration of humanity's impending doom at the hands of our own greed and military pursuits. While "WALL-E" was a sweet film for the whole family, "9" has earned itself a PG-...( read more)
"We had such potential. Such promise. But we squandered our gifts. And so, 9, I am creating you. Our world is ending. Life must go on."

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
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's too bad the thin story didn't match the stylishly haunting visuals. full review
Exquisite visuals aside, 9 plays like a sock monkey version of Doom. full review
Every effort to expand the range of feature-length animation beyond the confines of cautious family fare is to be welcomed, and budding techno and fantasy geeks are likely to be intrigued and enthralled. full review
Here's the strangest thing of all: it works. full review
For all the Saturday-matinee heroics, the movie is dreary and monotonous, the vision junky in more ways than one. full review
Beautifully designed but short on depth or novelty. full review
A brilliantly animated and welcome treat for moviegoers searching for adventure, inspiration and complete originality. full review
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "9" !
