Movie Story
A new era in animated storytelling begins on 9.9.09. Visionary filmmakers Tim Burton (The Corpse Bride, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory) and Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Nightwatch) join forces to produce wunderkind director Shane Acker's distinctively original and thrilling tale. 9 stars Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly, Martin Landau, Christopher Plummer and Crispin Glover and features the music of Danny Elfman.
When 9 (The Lord of the Ring's Elijah Wood) first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world. 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.

posted by fernandes911 on Jan 28, 2009This movie looks fantastic! The symbolisim is so strong even in the trailer! Music is good too haha. But I have high expectations!
posted by Anony on Feb 27, 2009It looks really cool! The cast is great, the music makes the movie look intriguing (if I spelled it correctly.), and i like the plot very much. It looks like the best Tim Burton movie of all time. Good work, Shane Acker!

posted by coheedlover on Jul 31, 2009I'm so unbelievably excited for this movie, aaaah! Not only does it tickle my unhealthy obsession with steampunk, it's something unique, unlike anything I've seen before. My overactive imagination has been sated; I can only hope that the movie will be as breathtaking as its previews.

posted by vamphyri74 on Sep 12, 2009I had just seen the movie, and it was everything the short was and then some. Wonderfully amazing, I would just advise not to bring the kids. It is rated PG-13. And to greeneyedgemini75, the opening song in the trailer is the beginning of the song 'The Captain' by The Knife.
posted by dremmare on Sep 13, 2009the characters were adorable! i was sad that there was no coheed in the whole soundtrack...the movie overall? i didnt quite get it.
