9 Review

| Leave a comment

9, of course, is the animated film from 2009 set in a post-apocalyptic world where humans are all but extinct and its remaining inhabitants battle for their lives. The movie featured the voices of prominent actors and actresses such as Christopher Plummer, Martin Landau, John C. Reilly, Crispin Glover, Jennifer Connelly, Fred Tatasciore, and Elijah Wood.

A brief rundown of things discussed by Adorable Andrew:

  • Andrew criticizes the fact that Coheed & Cambria was used in the trailers, but not featured prominently in the movie. Andrew argues the fact that it set us up with false impressions.
  • Andrew likens the movie to Terminator or The Matrix, in the sense that the movie is about humans versus machines. He argues that they weren't able to present this idea in a fresh and new way.
  • Andrew discusses the stereotypical nature of the characters. You pretty much get what you see, and the characters are lacking depth.
  • Andrew also criticizes the movie for being too predictable and straightforward, citing that more mystery and intrigue would have fit the tone of the movie better. He also references the fact that there were more battle scenes in the movie than there were interesting plot points and back story.

Overall Rating: 6 - 7/10
