9

9I was undecided whether to watch this movie with the kids or not, since it was animated, but after a few scenes I realized it would have been too scary for them (especially Nicole).  The movie is correctly rated PG-13.

The Gist: 9 is a rag doll who suddenly awakens in a post apocalyptic world.  After finding others like him, he sets out to find a way to salvage whatever he can of the world as it once was.

A very different kind of animated movie, geared towards an older audience than the usual fare, 9 confronts the perils of what happens when technology and weapons get out of hand very effectively.

The Bottom Line: An original script, solid voice over work, and excellent technical work come together in an interesting film that stands apart from the many animated movies we’re accustomed to see, even though it is no masterpiece.

Grade: 7
