9

Im sure anyone who actually takes to time to read this blog has seen the previews for this movie (which Im pretty sure is only 2 or 3 people in the whole world). And of those people who do read this and actually know me in real life know that I have a little thing for animated movies. Well when I saw the trailer for this movie I was instantly intrigued by the premise and the style.

Lets jump right into this and explain the plot of this movie. See the movie is all about the downfall of humanity due to the invention of the worlds most advanced machines. There is a scientist who creates and machine that is basically a self automated A.I. based on the professors intelligence. The machine turns skynet on humanity and starts creating machines that are designed to eliminate all life on earth. The machines succeed in doing this but now before the original scientist that created the A.I. goes on to create the dolls that you see in the previews and that the film revolves around.

In total there are 9 dolls that are shown in the movie, each with a number in thier back shown the order in which they are created. Each of the dolls has its own personality that comes through as the movie progresses. The movie starts with the creation of 9 and just takes off from there. Within the first few minutes of the film you meet you of the films protaganist "The Beast". The Beast is a cat like mechanical creature that has a cats skull for a face. In the beginning you have no idea why the creature is hunting the dolls, although it is explained later. As the film progresses you learn more about what happened to life on earth and what the role of the dolls in the in the fight against the machines.

By the end of the film you feel for the dolls and their plight against the constant attacks from the machines. I have to admit this is one of the more original movies I have seen and recommend it to anyone and everyone as all ages can enjoy it. I can only hope that we see more films like this and "District 9" coming out of Hollywood in the coming years instead of these high budget, big name director pieces of garbage they have been pumping out.
