Theater Review: 9

Saw this movie last night and was quite pleased with it. The film is a visual stunner, all the way through, unlike any animation I've seen before... Incredible dark and artistic scenery in the backdrop of some intense special effects and action... It takes place in a very dark post-apocalyptic world, where humanity has been destroyed by machines, and a group of 9 artificial-intelligent stitch-dolls are hiding from these machines... One in particular, 9, comes across the source of their life, and unites the others to solve the mystery of their existence. The story is quite unique, and keeps you on the edge of your seat, yet the real sell is the visuals... This is definitely a film that will keep your eyes glued to the screen. It's actually pretty short, only 80 minutes, and is over before you know it... Yet other than that I have no complains about the movie, and recommend to go see it... Great voice-overs from Elijah Wood, Jennifer Connelly, John C Riley, and Christopher Plummer... The only thing I might change would be the title...
