Movie synopsis

Elijah Wood and Jennifer Connelly lend their voices to this animated fantasy directed by Shane Acker, a veteran of Spike and Mike's film festival. In 9, Acker turns his Oscar-nominated short into a full-length fantasy about a world where humanity has been annihilated by machines. In this post-apocalyptic earth, a group of sewn creations bands together to battle the few remaining machines. Produced by visionary directors Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov, this film also features the voices of Christopher Plummer, Martin Landau, John C. Reilly, Crispin Glover, and Fred Tatasciore.

Movie trailer and editorial reviews

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "9 is a brilliantly animated and welcome treat for moviegoers searching for adventure, inspiration and complete originality."
Box Office - Pete Hammond (08/19/2009)

"The visuals have been expanded and the characters have been given greater depth....The aesthetic wavelength of producer Tim Burton was clearly in sync with Acker's."
Film Comment - Chris Chang (09/01/2009)

3 stars out of 4 -- "[T]he best reason to see it is simply because of the creativity of its visuals. They're entrancing."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (09/09/2009)

"The latest achievement in art direction with an end-of-humanity theme belongs to the CG-animated fantasy-adventure 9, a tale of trust, bravery, and cooperation..." -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (09/18/2009)

“Acker’s visual gifts are undeniable. He uses CGI to simulate the look of stop-motion, and his rendering of texture -- from grimy fiber to yellowed paper -- is a wonder.”
Washington Post (09/11/2009)

3 stars out of 5 -- "9 takes the extra time to expand its characters....Dialogue is added and monster quotient upped."
Total Film - Total Film Staff (10/22/2009)

Included in Chicago Sun-Times's "The Ten Best Animated Films Of 2009" -- "[With] delicate artistry by filmmaker Shane Acker..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (12/24/2009)

"The visuals are beautifully planned and executed, and they draw viewers deep into a terrifying post-apocalyptic world..."
A.V. Club - A.V. Club (01/06/2010)

3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he film itself is visually impressive -- you can, perhaps, detect Burton and Bekmambetov's influence in the eldritchian landscape and twisted dieselpunk designs."
Uncut - Michael Bonner (10/26/2009)

3 stars out of 5 -- "The eerie visuals are inspired -- they've clearly been swilling around the director's head for years..."
Empire - Nick De Semlyen (05/01/2010)

Great animation, weak plot, slow movement, basically looks good but its boring. I had higher hopes for this film, I'm surprised Tim Burton put his name on it, more like wrote a check to make it happen. I'm not saying you shouldn't see it, but don't expect much. I also could have done without the political statements that are an underlying theme that prevail throughout the film.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Here's why: The characters were voiced by such well known and popular actors and this movie barely got any press at all. Good story-line and great animation. However, I don't recommend this movie for very small children, as there are several scenes showing dead humans/body parts..(due to the end of the world, and such). Note: My youngest (aged 5), didn't pay much attention to those parts.

A piece of brilliance, both in originality and visuals. Although short, it felt right at 80 minutes. Do we really need the 2-3 hour epics to get the whole story? This film gets straight to the point. Harrowing and haunting totally got me into this movie. I feel the story treats the audience with respect, both young and old. This is possible a favorite for years to come.
