Visually it's nothing special, but it's not bad either. But story is lousy... Boring, confusing, without emotion... waste of time.4/10(6/10 for the animation and 2/10 for the story)

In World obsessed with 'evolution' this movie in a quirky wonderful way confirms a sometimes vague feeling that all of us have or have once had. There is something unique about each of us but it cannot be expressed until the moment that we find in ourselves who we are truly. In this movie's desolate setting, it makes ask ourselves, because of it's seemingly benign and unassuming manner, a question to the child inside.it connects and asks whether this is or this is not a world for the purpose of selfish fulfillment and either way what this might bring.I feel this movie speaks about another level of being and warns against creating with today's vast powers (surprisingly pertinent) for the purpose of satisfying ego versus creating something within ourselves that can have a lasting value in the way it connects us to each other.I thoroughly enjoyed the quality of this picture and it's message.And i hope that each and every one of you will find the time experience it in your own manner, cheers.

Dystopia is a ricocheting friend. Should be. Or refute and plug that head up the clouds. Nonetheless, it is a curve that continues to confront daily. On the keenest of days, nature unwraps humanity's caution. Total prosperity does occur but not guaranteed. Though natural disruption is not a huge cause for worry—basic human instincts rouse the need for concern as privileges of power to the inwardly unstable are catastrophic.With the glimpse 9 offers on a such and interweaving situations, the human contend takes hold. Based on a warring period Germany, when they had superior technology, it is a contact upon animated alternate history. A transcendental scientist succeeds at making a mechanical brain with human-like capabilities—until military interference. Once seized, the mechanoid is inflected with world control and domination —a setting from which it is almost impossible detracting it from.World of havoc, war, metal, and discord—all organic life has been wiped off. It is built on a Steampunk, Futurepunk directory; this post apocalyptic world—with the old world still technologically upending— is a shot into an unyielding unfolding future with the punks following a devoid direction.Opening up to statutes in their perfect sculpt, The Mad Mane Machine retraces Wells' the time traveler arising to the same in a distant future. Much with its Star Trek allusions as Seven of Nine gets a centre-stage presence—saving a sinking ship. Another moment of Wellsian descent yields itself in the hall of retrieval and archiving, from the time traveler's escapades. Dusty, decrepit, and devoid of life—a towering structure of decaying records. Collective hands are involved in the tid-bit gathering needed to destroy the enemy gladiatorial force.From the recollected manuscripts the scientist gave his life for— much to foresee mechanical defeat—the same electric eye mechanism that gobbles and destroys is the same that takes part in disintegrating the hub of the bug hive-mind.9 is akin to degraded Steampunk with alternative Cyberpunk sheddings —or primitive Cyberpunk in its best description. Arising technology that fails to boom once the ultimate breakthrough culminates to unmitigated corruption. It purges a lot as a disaster film—once salvaged to savagery the survivors have zero option to figure out to turn the best of their fate. Spiritual aspects of transcendentalism leave an un-rooted gap on the plane of escapism but given the rushed connections to keep the story linked and running it should pass as a ground to ignore

I remember my brother and I being so stoked for this movie as kids. When it finally came out on DVD we were disappointed. Years later I watched it again, and found I was even more disappointed. 9 had a fantastic idea. I wanted to love it so much because of this. I mean, sackboys surviving in the apocalypse? That's pretty original. I've never heard of anything like it. Unfortunately, it was unable to carry out it's fantastically original idea. The story was lacking and the plot was quite formulaic, it felt like Shane Acker had a good idea and nothing more. No direction or idea of how to push these characters through 79 minutes without it getting too boring. Which brings me to the characters themselves. The characters are cliché, formulated around the average cast of characters that are used in a lot of movies. The badass female, the big strong man, the greedy king, the geek, the cripple, the neutral lead, etc. There's really not a whole lot in terms of characters, and although I found some points of peril (specifically near the end) to be rather distressing or sad at points, I never felt like I truly knew or cared about the characters. Overall, 9 was a cool movie. With a fantastic idea, an equally fantastic artistic design, and enough character development for you to care at least a little, it's worth checking out. Unfortunately it suffered from unoriginality in plot and relatively flat characters. That's not to say that formulaic movies are bad, but some just make it too obvious, and this was one of them. I give it extra points for its idea and art, but when it comes down to it, 9 is severely lacking. I would've said its nothing special but it truly is special, it just didn't know it. I'd love to see a re- imagining/reboot of this movie in the future, but chances are that won't happen. Check it out though, it's not great, but it's worth a watch.
