9 (2009)


This is one of the many movies involving the number 9 that came out last year.  

This one is an animated film produced by Tim Burton involving a post apocalyptic world and the survival of some man made creations that each have a part of the creator's soul inside.

Visually the film was stunning, but it lacked in story.  It was very hard to follow and get invested in.  It was never clear exactly what these little robots were trying to do.  

The writing of "9" seemed like it tried to weave in good action sequences with a story that didn't quite work.  The action scenes were very nicely done.

I had a real interest in seeing "9" and it was a real let down.  On paper I suppose it had an interesting story, but the film just didn't work.  The only thing going for it was the beautiful animation.
