New Movie Review: 9

This last Saturday, I had the opportunity to see the new animated film 9.

First thing first: The art design and animation was beautiful. It really draws you into this dark, sad, lifeless world. The film was very detailed in the art department. The colors were very vivid and it was just a wonderful feast for the eyes to behold.

The plot was very interesting. Not a bad plot, and there was definitely one there, but a plot that is very metaphorical. I have heard so many people tell me that they did not like it because they "didn't get it". It has a very definite plot. I really liked the movie very much.

The voice acting was great from all accounts. Most notably John C. Reilly as 5. I love this guy's voice. He has such an innocent sound with this character that it really makes you feel for him.

Also, Christopher Plummer as 1, was also very exceptional. He just has that voice of an over controlling character. Perfect voice casting all-in-all. No complaints here.

Overall, I believe the movie was a success. Very intelligent, visually stunning, great story.

My rating:
[4/5]
