Synopsis
When 9 (voice of Elijah Wood) 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. –Focus Features

the script was rather monosyllabic and the pacing was pretty off, the storytelling was that of a trailer, but i quite enjoyed it. nice feeling and world design.

I liked it but I can't see myself watching it again. The characters felt very two-dimensional (was that a pun?) and the story was a little stale but the overall experience wasn't unpleasant. I just think that the original short film worked much better.

A great vision derails towards the end and becomes a victim of the Hollywood entertainment machine

A prime example of how a great talent is grinded down by idiot and talentless screenwrites and Hollywood people to become another generic family adventure film. Yes, the tone might be darker than your… read review

Everyone has seen a film where their expectations were either pretty low or nonexistent. Mine were bordering on pretty low/nonexistent; I thought the machines looked pretty cool but other than that… read review

You know, after watching the Coheed and Cambria filled trailer and the awe inspiring animation I was just very disappointed with this film. The story was severely flawed and the characters have no… read review

Ok so the majority of the people in the theater with me didn’t like it which I can’t argue with because it had a flawed and cliched story. Also, the voice acting was very disappointing, probably the… read review
