Certificate: 12A

Genre:

The time is the too-near future. Powered and enabled by the invention known as the Great Machine, the world's machines have turned on mankind and sparked social unrest, decimating the human population before being largely shut down. But, as our world fell to pieces, a mission began to salvage the legacy of civilization; a group of small creations was given the spark of life by a scientist in the final days of humanity, and they continue to exist post-apocalypse. One of these creations, 9, emerges to display leadership qualities that may help them survive and possibly even thrive. It is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like himself taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction. Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good. They must take the offensive if they are to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place. As they'll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them.

    It breaks my heart to only give 3 stars to a film that while absolutely beautiful to look at but so obviously half-baked in story. Worth seeing just for the fantastic imagery.

    The animation of 9 was lovely, Shane Acker did a lovely job with the visuals and Tim Burton's character designs were as always a treat to see. Unfortunately for the film the narrative was poor, the plot fragmented and the character development limited. Though I quite enjoyed this film I did feel it was lacking key structural points that would of made it a great story.
