Summary: When 9 first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world where all humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction.
This was a beautiful moody story about a post Apocalypse world were the only "living" things left are these sock like creatures.The emotional depth and distinctiveness of these characters really drew me into this film.This is one of those rare films that I thought was a little short.There was a lot left unexplained and I felt the ending was a little rushed.Two Thumbs Up
Acker is stalwart and serious in his approach, leading to a film that is an understated grind. It's no sin when it's hard to determine exactly who a film is made for (it's easy to imagine parents pulling whimpering moppets out of theaters at the midway point, stopping off for a tense conversation with the manager before seeking out some conciliatory ice cream for their mildly traumatized offspring), but sometimes it's representative of a muddled vision in the very conception of the piece.
Storywise 9 isn't to write home about, but visually it's a joy to behold Shane Acker's grim and dark, but very detailed post-apocalyptic world. Too bad it's only 75 minutes long, since this tale of a few mechanical puppets trying to survive through the post-human world seems rushed and almost too fast to become really engaged with 9 and his numerical companions. Of those, ninja '7' is clearly the most fun to watch, while Christopher Plummer did a great voice acting job on '1'.
fantastic character design and animation, but it doesn't make up for the generally uninspired writing and plot. you can definitely tell burton had a hand in this. i'd have knocked it up a few points if the ending weren't stupid.
