Too much of everything

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

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.

In World obsessed with 'evolution' this movie in a quirky wonderful way confirms a sometimes vague feeling that all of us have or have once had. There is something unique about each of us but it cannot be expressed until the moment that we find in ourselves who we are truly. In this movie's desolate setting, it makes ask ourselves, because of it's seemingly benign and unassuming manner, a question to the child inside.it connects and asks whether this is or this is not a world for the purpose of selfish fulfillment and either way what this might bring.I feel this movie speaks about another level of being and warns against creating with today's vast powers (surprisingly pertinent) for the purpose of satisfying ego versus creating something within ourselves that can have a lasting value in the way it connects us to each other.I thoroughly enjoyed the quality of this picture and it's message.And i hope that each and every one of you will find the time experience it in your own manner, cheers.

This film at it's core explores the idea of humanity and what it means to be human. It does this by exploring themes such as friendship, curiosity and discovery, family and the fundamental question we all ask "why am I here and what is my purpose?" What makes the film so unique is that it projects these onto the main characters which are small ragdoll like automatons who have been set with the task of undoing the wrongdoings of their creator. This film has heart and on a first viewing the core themes and story may be lost by the stunning visuals of the characters and the environment they interact within. So I recommend at least watching this film twice to really appreciate all it has to offer. This film is set In a post apocalyptic setting yet it still manages to feel so unique. The closest I can think as far as cinematography is The Book of Eli, yet this is much more menacing and darker. Although wrapped up like a children's film with the animation, it definitely is for a more mature audience.

I'll start by saying nothing other then wow. When i sat down and watched this movie i had no knowledge of what it was. I had not seen any trailers, read any info about it or even heard of it.9, i thought. Well it's animated and i'm not really a fan of that category.. whatever. Let's just see what it is. From the first opening scene to the last of the end credits i could not take my eyes of the screen.This movie had absolutely everything. Visuals, story, music, atmosphere and above all, an unimaginable epic way of delivering. There is really not much to say about it other then four letters. EPIC!When you watch this movie, don't read up. Come in unprepared and let the story just unfold before you. There is really nothing bad to say about this masterpiece. If you have not seen this yet, go ahead and watch it now!This movie scores: 10/10.
