My review of 9 is now available at Moving Pictures.
| Quote: |
| Under the guidance of directors Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov ("Wanted"), who produced this feature, director Shane Acker, with the aide of screenwriter Pamela Pettler ("The Corpse Bride"), expanded his 2005 CGI animated short "9" into the disappointing 79-minute movie "9." |
| Quote: |
| The steampunk-like feel featuring undead creatures formed by metallic skeletons, hand-stitched sock puppets in various states of disrepair, and bleak, burnt-out destruction combine for an unusual and exceptional animated world. |

| The early explorations of this world by the just-awoken 9 offers most of the story’s interesting and exciting moments. Sadly, after the first 10 minutes, the film quickly degenerates into a mish-mash of metaphysical quandaries interposed with some mindless action. |
