Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

dissident320 I'm starting to dread watching movies that are under 90 minutes. They almost always are stretching out a story that doesn't have enough to it to justify a feature. The voice work is all fine but the story just drags on with no real villain or pacing. The visuals sadly look extremely dated already with real-time rendering in video games already surpassing it.It probably should have just stayed as a short because 70 some minutes of this felt like 3 hours. Nothing much to recommend here other than some neat ideas that unfortunately get over-explained.

Tweekums Set in a world where humanity has been destroyed by the machines it created. Before his death a scientist has created nine 'stitchpunk' little dolls, that we later learn contain aspects of his soul. As the film opens the last of these, 9, awakens. He picks up a device that he feels is important then goes exploring. He soon meets 2 who provides him with a voice before explaining a little of what is going on. Moments later a mechanical beast attacks and captures 2, it also takes the device. Soon afterwards 9 is rescued by 5 who takes him back to the Sanctuary where others of their kind, led by 1 live. 9 believes they must try to rescue 2 and against 1's orders, he and 5 head out into the wasteland. They find 2 but are soon attacked by the beast. 7, who was assumed dead turns up and defeats the beast but things get much worse when 9 plugs the device into a machine. It turns on 2 and takes his soul. The others get away but the problems are far from over; this machine makes more machines; the survivors must decide what to do; do they flee, destroy the machine or try to deactivate it and free the souls of those it has captured?I really enjoyed this film; it looked great with fantastic backgrounds, menacing mechanical monsters and most importantly the protagonists were delightfully imaginative and had a design that gave then a melancholy feel. The story is relatively simple but that didn't bother me; not everything needs to be full of twists and surprises. There is a good sense of threat throughout; some moments may be a little scary for younger viewers… especially if it is made clear that the machines can and do kill the 'Stitchpunks'. Writer/director Shane Acker does a fine job bringing his story to the screen and the voice cast impresses as they bring the characters to life with distinctive personalities. Overall I'd say this won't be ideal for younger viewers but I'd certainly recommend this to fans of darker toned animation.

Michael Loughrie Nine was just awful, critics thought it was OKAT, I thought it was probably one of the worst movies of all time, and it doesn't seem to catch my attention.The biggest problem is something a rookie director would make, and I don't mind the outstanding visuals.The huge problem is it is Horribly fast paced. At the beginning, you are shown a clip of 9 being created, and then it shows the creator dying. After that, he goes out in the streets and already meets a new member, and only 5 minutes in, there is an action scene when the monster comes and takes the other guy he met, and then he leaves. That's just 5 minutes, now, the movie shows a telescope of 9 walking forward and then he falls, he wakes up in a room and he is being stitched together by a new friend. (and only 10 minutes in) He meets number 8 and number 1. Also, there is poor character development, you only see that he is a total wiener. And quite old. Then you meet what I believe is 6, and he's really addicted to the source. Now what about 7? 7 was believed to be dead and they meet 7 while they looked for the guy the monster took, and 7 appears while they're being attacked, how could you meet a friend after 10,000 years after they were believed to be dead? Wow, how stupid.But, the movie is so bad, and so poorly crafted, it has that so-bad-its-good kind of feeling that makes you want to keeping on watching the awfulness. One final note: Voice acting was cancer, and so was the dialog.

Python Hyena Nine (2009): Dir: Shane Acker / Voices: Elijah Wood, Christopher Plummer, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly, Martin Landau: Unique futuristic animation about completion. It regards the earth in a ruin after mankind loses the war against machines and little dolls that emerge numbered from one to nine. Nine is adventurous and seeks to help the other eight to win the battle against machines. Directed by Shane Acker with creative screenplay but the characters never really emerge as personalities. Another issue is that the violence may be too intense for children. Featuring voices from Elijah Wood as Nine, the only role in the film that contains any depth. The supporting roles are a long assortment of stereotypes. Christopher Plummer plays this old guy who is overly traditional and has a stick up his ass. He is always debating with Nine and encouraging him to be a self centred ass. John C. Reilly voices a healer but the only thing needing healing here is the screenplay. Jennifer Connelly is way too lovely not to be seen but in any case, her role is also cardboard. She plays a female ninja who kicks ass but she has no personality. Martin Landau also provides the voice of a type, and in this case, the creative area of the mind. The special effects and digital content is impressive but the screenplay is basic silly string intelligent. With a theme regarding mankind's legacy, or lack of it. Score: 5 ½ / 10
