9 trailer – An animated film I actually want to see!

January 12, 2009 By Jon Stephens 7 Comments

9 - An animated film I am looking forward to!

9 is a film that has been getting a lot of attention lately.  I was initially turned on to this film by our friends over at MoviesForNobodies.  Their discussion got my attention, so I decided to take a look.  The trailer, that most of you probably watched before reading this, was beautiful.  The animation is great.  Normally, I am hesitant to see animated films.  I have two small children, however, that often force me to see them.  But this is one I am actually looking forward to.  Of course,  I may need to see this first without them to determine if it is even appropriate for their age group.  But right now, I don’t really mind.  Check out this plot synopsis, courtesy of IMDb.  

9 takes place in a world parallel to our own, in which the very legacy of humanity is threatened. A group of sapient rag dolls, living a post-apocalyptic existence find one of their own, 9 , who displays leadership qualities that may help them to survive.  The conflicted, but resilient group includes 1 , a domineering war veteran; 2, an aged inventor; 5 , a stalwart mechanic;  6, a visionary and artist; and 7, a brave warrior.  There are at least several malevolent creatures up against this group; namely, the cat-skulled creature from the short film, a split-headed flying being that resembles both a bat and a manta ray in wing shape, and an insectoid creature with jointed legs and a pod-like body.

The film stars Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Martin Landau, Jennifer Connelly, Christopher Plummer and Crispin Glover.  Personally, the cast of this is not a big draw, but the visuals are.  I maintain that  The Spirit was enjoyable because of it’s beautiful visuals.  I may be the only one.  What do you guys think?  Is there a reason to see this, or is it destined for the bargain bin?
