{3.5\/5} “Some things in this world are better left where they lie. But if you know where to look, these ruins are full of riches.”<\/p>\n
There’s been an apocalypse, and all the humans are dead. 9 is a doll-like creature, somehow given life by a scientist. He finds a small group of creatures like himself, led by 1, who are mostly hiding from a mechanical beast. 9 doesn’t want to hide, though, he wants to rescue 2 — who has been captured by the beast. He convinces 5 to go with him, even though 1 forbids them to go.<\/p>\n
9<\/strong> was released in 2009. It’s an animated movie.<\/p>\n The animation is beautiful, in the way that the first part of WALL-E<\/strong> is beautiful.<\/p>\n The world is a dangerous place, even with all the humans gone. Some machines are left, and the machines don’t like little creatures.<\/p>\n The creatures are very clever at making things out of the junk that surrounds them. The group led by 1 lives in Notre Dame Cathedral.<\/p>\n The setting and characters had potential but the story wasn’t as interesting as it should have been — there were too many things that didn’t make sense and too much time spent on good guys vs. bad guys.<\/p>\n Deborah Lurie (Imaginary Heroes<\/strong>) composed the music.<\/p>\n Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings<\/strong>) provides the voice of 9. Alan Oppenheimer (Mighty Mouse in the TV show The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse and Heckle and Jeckle<\/strong>) provides the voice of the scientist.<\/p>\n Christopher Plummer (The Sound of Music<\/strong><\/a>), Martin Landau (Frankenweenie<\/strong><\/a>), John C. Reilly (Wreck-It Ralph<\/strong><\/a>), Crispin Glover (Back to the Future<\/strong>), and Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind<\/strong>) also provide voices.<\/p>\n The movie was directed by Shane Acker (animator on The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King<\/strong>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" {3.5\/5} “Some things in this world are better left where they lie.
