9
I went to see the movie 9 last night because I got out of work way to late to go and cover the drift event I was supposed to cover. I went with the grilfriend and another couple. We all had said we wanted to see the movie based on the trailers we saw for it. It seemed to be so bad ass and had a pg-13 label so it couldn’t have been all bad right? It was produced by Tim burton as well and I don’t think there is a person out there who doesnt love The Nightmare Before Christmas or Corpse Bride.
All in all it was a good movie but I just left with this unfulfilled feeling. It wasn’t an adult movie but to scary at times for children. I was wowed by the graphics but just underwhelmed over all. The movie was another one of those no name movies of this summer like District 9 that just kinda popped up out of nowhere but this was nowhere near asenveloping as district 9. This could be due to the fact it was a kids movie or it was only 1 hour 12 minutes long.
At the extent of being labeled a bigget I feel this movie had a very world war II Nazi/Jew-esque feel. The machines that have taken over the world and killed all the humans were created buy a very Nazi influence regime and so they themsleves marched around with the red and black banners and had no heart and exterminated everything. The Stistchpunk or main characters were generally timid and always hiding from the persecution of the machines. Being hunted and unable to fight back for most of the movie. I left kind of having the feeling I had just watched the nightmare of a jewish person who lived in Europe during WWII.
All in all I say its a movie you should definitely see but don’t pay money to see it. If you have an 8-10 year old kid its a cool movie to take them too, its not a movie to go on a first date too haha. Wait for it to come out on dvd and rent it. If you have a Blue Ray possibly even buy it because the animation and color in this movie are amazing. In Blue ray on a 42″ LCD or bigger this movie would be 1000x better, mind blowing even.
