It's called "9" and it's movie that Tim Burton had quite heavy influence in developing. Danny Elfman is also to credit for composing the music. Normally with this duo, it is hard to go wrong.
And once again in my opinion they did not disappoint.
9 is a completely CG movie, as a matter of fact, it's the 4th CG movie ever made to receive a PG13 rating ahead of Beowulf, Final fantasy - spirits within and Kaena: the prophecy. It is also the second animated film released by Focus Features after Coraline (Which, we all know, was bloody brilliant too!)
So basic plot overview for you people without giving anything away.
"When 9 first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world where all humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction. Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good. They must take the offensive if they are to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place. As they'll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them." - Written by Focus Features
I LOVED it. It explored basic human fears and tendencies, such as the pursuit of discovery how far we can go with machinery and technology before it gets too much out of our hands and brings about total world destruction. The voice actors were brilliant, using the talents of actors such as Elijah Wood, John C Reilly and Christopher Plummer. The art and specil effects are completely unrivalled, using the cutting edge of digital graphics and high definition imaging to create a crisp clear image. The move was not too long, running at 79 minutes long and it even seemed to invoke my own personal feelings and opinions about the issues it was bringing forward.
Overall, a most enjoyable experience and one I would throroughly recommend.
