Scientist: We had such potential. Such promise. But we squandered our gifts, our intelligence. Our blind pursuit of technology only sped us quicker to our doom. Our world is ending. But life must go on.

Add a CommentNot great, but not terrible either.
This is a 2009 American adult computer animated post-apocalyptic science fantasy directed by Shane Acker.
Although superb is its animation with nice and sophisticated visuals, the story doesn't appear well-developed.
Actually the end isn't really its end, which is the starting point of the future the audience really would like to see after all the struggles.
In any case, the film looks visually spectacular.
However, the film seems long on imaginative design but less substantial in narrative.
CG garbage that's only worth the lowest rating possible.
awesome
Unmemorable is the word I would use to describe 9. I saw it in theatres several years back and it's as if I hadn't seen it at all. I remember not liking it. And looking back at what I wrote back then when it was fresh in my mind, I described the film as bleak and boring with no conclusion, as if the writers didn't know how to finish their own script. I don't intend to watch it again, so I suppose I don't recommend it.
When I saw the trailer for this, I knew I was going to be in for a ride. And wow, did I get what I asked for!
9 was a movie I've never watched before. It kept me asking questions, wondering what the characters were going to do and how all of this was tied to what happened to the world.
This movie was absolutely fabulous and I will definitely watch this again!
I've been waiting to watch it for quite some time, and when I did, it was much better than I expected.
The characters were beautifully developed and the story was intriguing.
I enjoyed this movie a TON!
5 stars.
It was pretty dark for me watching characters who I weirdly deeply cared about get their souls sucked out of them when I was a kid. 3 out of 5.
I enjoyed this film, but it had the feeling of a sketch to me. I felt that some of its story elements were not developed enough.
I thought when 9 inserted the magic circle, which he knew nothing about, he didn't think at all about the consequences and was stupid for doing so because of what happens in the rest of the movie. I don't think he should be cheered on for saving the rest of the "community" and the souls. A little too witchcrafty for me. I guess the line between witchcraft and science blurs sometimes nowadays.
Don't get me wrong, I thought the movie was creative and original nonetheless. But I couldn't help but have mixed feelings.
