My review of the new animated film: 9
Okie dokie
The movie "9" came out today on 9/9/09 (i see what you did thar)
Basically a quick run down, its an alternate future where a scientist creates an advanced brain machine, and implants his intellegence, via a talisman, into it.
Military gets involved yada yada, machines revolt, same old same old.
The scientist creates 9 sack people things to using the talisman, and withers away.
Thats the basic back story.
I DID NOT LIKE THIS MOVIE.
Theres really not alot to this movie, it just throws you in, tells you some stuff, then they repeat the same scene about 5 times, and then its over.
Then there comes the argument:
What garbage, i hate when people look to deep into things.
Yes, some of that could very well be true...
However, take this example:
I drew the earth with a big pile of poo ontop of it.
If i was to show this to people at like...say an art gallery
Im certain you would get remarks like
When the truth is, i just wanted to draw a pile of poo on the earth.
There is such a thing as looking to much into something.
Heres the things that ruin this movie for me.
SPOLIERS AHEAD
In the end, theres only 4 sack people left, they defeat the main brain machine, and then theres nothing.
All of humanity is dead at the beginning of this movie. Which begs the question of why am i watching this movie.
Weather they defeat the machine or not, nothing will change.
The end line is essentially "The worlds what we make it".

Its 4 sack people, theres nothing you CAN make it into, eventually you'll run out of energy, die off, and then the world will be silent and empty. Its so pointless.
The next thing that urks me, is the key to the movie.
Throughout the movie #9 flip flops at every turn. He continually is either told to go back to the house he was born in, or he announces that he's going back to the house he was born in. (in order to look for clues or whatever)
But not until the VERY end of the movie, does he actually do it.
Near the beginning when he meets the others, he says: "i should go back" and then not even a minute later, as if he had ADD or short term memory loss, he says "lets go to the big scary factory to save #2" its stupid.
And guess what, when he finally goes to the house, low and behold, theres a recorded 3D projector message box right out of star wars, that the scientist recorded, and what does he do? Tells him EVERYTHING he needs to do, down to the T.
To be honest, this movie is essentially the same thing on loop.
They hide somewhere, mechanical beast attacks, one dies/gets captured, they go to a new hiding spot.
Repeat 5 times, changing the beast and the sackperson each time.
:facewall:
The only positive/good/enjoyable part of this was the animation/modeling. It was brilliant and well done.
But even that is no where near enough to make me like this.
So that ends my rant/review.
Take it for what you will, in honesty maybe im just a negative nancy and this movie is the greatest thing to hit the modern world.
Personally, i just thought it sucked.
