When 9 (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.I liked this movie alot. The animation was phenomenal. It ws super short and I'm always a fan of movies that are short and cut out all of the blah-blah-blah stuff. However, the one knock I can make against this movie is that it started really abruptly. I mean if you show up 2 minutes late for this movie you would be convinced you missed a 1/2 hour. I felt like there was a lot that could have been done or explained instead of 9 just kind of waking up. They explain how this alternate world came to be later, but it was a little bit strange how it started and could have been done better. This movie is also absolutely not for kids. Whenever animated movies come out, parents see it as a chance to do something with the kids on a rainy day. Your kids will have nightmares if you take them to see this. Its very dark and its very violent at times.
I would recommend that people check this out. Its not a mainstream movie whatsoever. Its animation on a Pixar level and you definitely enjoy the short ride.
