An important film. Entertaining with all its simple and complex themes, some jaw-dropping animation, lives to its promise. Watch it for the grip on the technique, some grand orchestrated sequences, a road-film-adventure, and a sci-fi core that exposes it’s intentions often gloriously at times.
definately not sci-fi
Has got a 61% rating so far on RT, James Berardinelli has liked it, have yet to read Ebert’s review on this. But all the critics agree that visually the movie is stunning, though the script could have been better. Raja Sen has given it around 4 stars.
RT rating now is 56%.. and Critical Consensus says: Although its story is perhaps too familiar and less complex than some might wish, 9 is visually spectacular, and director Shane Acker’s attention to detail succeeds in drawing viewers into the film’s universe.
It’s definitely a dissappointment for me after so much hype :(
Hi, Time Out’s Jaideep sen managed to get an interview with Shane Acker. See the last question for his comment on Indian animation! http://www.timeoutmumbai.net/film/film_details.asp?code=263&source=5
Pure cinematic brilliance, beautiful execution, but incosistency, mediocre writing and stereotypical characters doesnt make it all that stunning, the substance doesnt match the style!
he’d definately dumbed the film down from the short… but like i said.. two seperate entities.. fun with the landscape and all that.. but the movie justs zips past at times.. would have loved it even more if it had slowed down for a second.. thank god for evil machines that wanna take over the earth.. and one of them is in a drag outfit… you have to give credit for that
Amazing visuals!! But overall just an average fare.. It should have remained just a short only..
The film was so unsubstantial.. And the animation was good, but guys have you seen Coraline…… The stop motion animation used in Coraline was much more a treat than 9…. Please see the opening sequence of Coraline, where a human hand deftly makes a doll.. It was so rythmic and a feast for the eyes..
i watched the movie after a heavy lunch that drew all the blood from the brain to my stomach. could be the reason i thought
the plot lacked emotional connect. the animation was great though.
watch it on a diet now.
