9

[fruckert]

Aww...

[SaiKar]

Thank you Valiere, for making the slightly minor choice of not seeing 9 even easier. It looked bad and it's nice to know it is bad. Saves me ten bucks.

Also, am I the only one that's never really been a fan of the Tim Burton style?

Pixar's "Up"

Tim Burton is awesome, and Im still going to see 9. If I can find it that, there isnt a stupid theatre near that has the damn thing. I'm prolly gonn wind up driving 2-2 1/2 hours to see it. And yes "Up" was really awesome.

[fruckert]

You guy do know that Burton didn't direct this, right?
He was the producer, and the short movie actually looked exactly like this.

[Rahl]

Yeah I watched it a few days ago.

I was disappointed when I read this thread because I'd already made comitments to see 9. But I was really surprised. While I admit that the characters were fairly cliche, and the plot was formulaic, I really enjoyed this movie. It was engaging (and except for a few lines taking me out of it) I was glued to the screen. The cinematography, animation, and sound editing were done in such a precise way that it allowed for complete immersion. There were also moments which moved me, though they were not the ones you might expect. Elitism and snarkiness aside, this movie served its purpose and entertained.
Also, though this might not necessarily be the case, the clicheness of the characters may have been fully intentional, either to relate the mechanical characters to a human audience, or else to add the childish element which comes with a lot of these animations- they take stories which could be for children and alter and twist them so that they're for an older audience. The characters themselves might be found in a children's cartoon, but the darkness and graphic nature of the world wouldn't. It makes you uneasy as you grasp a new and terrible world through the eyes of familiar archetypes.

(There were some lines which were pretty funny though...like the newspaper headline reading "The Machines Have Turned Against Us!' XD)

Hey guys I just watched this movie and I really thought it was pretty awesome, it wasn't as great as I had hope but I still loved it. I did feel really short. I really liked the big guy, don't remember his number 8 or somthing.

[Mr.Dark666]

I saw this with my brother. I really liked it  The graphics was amazing

You need to use twenty two smilies in a row, not two. And don't bump, man. I don't think we're all that interested in talking about 9 or whatever anymores.

[Mr.Dark666]

Sorry 

[Archem]

Guys, I think we found out where all the smileys went.

Another mystery solved.
