9 (2009)

9 is a film by Shane Acker produced by Tim Burton.  It is the spawn of a 2005 short of the same name.

This movie was really childish.  Tim Burton associated his name with it and it had a PG-13 rating, so I expected a little more of an adult theme.  I don’t love Tim Burton’s animations, but I definitely don’t usually mind watching them.  Other than being awkwardly dark as to make me squint, I don’t understand the rating.  Visually the film had a painted sort of look to it that was different.  It was better looking than most animated movies.  The story, however, was very weak and not something I enjoyed.  Overall, I couldn’t help but feel like this film was disappointing and just more of the same lame cliches packaged in a Saturday morning cartoon thing.

    One night I started to watch this movie, but it was late and I felt like I was going to pass out. Started watching another night and I did fall asleep. Came back the next day and tried to watch the end I’d missed by dozing off. Still don’t remember how this movie ended and don’t care.

    The animation made me wanted to like this movie, but the story put me to sleep several times.

    Has some beautiful animation, but that’s all—03-10
