9 (PG-13, 2009)

i love this movie it is great but some intense imagrey

From K:I saw this movie with my 3 BFFFS about 1 1/2 hours ago. I guess it was good but it was dark loud and kinda disturbing. One of my BFFFS had to give me hand signals to look if there were violence and there was A LOT. From B: I luved this movie!The visual effects were amazing.It was kinda scary though,and it was SO short!But overall it's a great movie. From A: the movie could have gone alot longer. it was also alot like wall-e for the teen set From D: Well, I am 13 years old and I thought this movie was great. I am not scared easily so this movie did not bother me, but it probably will to some people. The effects were mind-blowing, the plot was great but kind of dark and the characters set a good example. Overall, I thought the movie was good but it may be disturbing for some younger kids.

Apparently human ambition and a power-hungry military will lead to doomsday technology that can and does destroy all life. All except for the ragdolls created by one now-deceased scientist to preserve the human spirit. The situation is more than grim; it is nightmarish. We "awake" with 9 to a world littered with dead humans still covered with flesh (so the holocaust isn't long past). We learn with 9 that the only "beings" in this world are ragdolls, robots and other creations of technology. The message seems to be both a warning of apocalyptic horrors awaiting us and a celebration of the triumph of the human spirit (unfortunately with the actual human). I admired the heroic ragdolls who embodied much of what's best about humanity. They forgave one another's mistakes and shortcomings, tolerated differences, repaired one another's injuries, saved one another from destruction, and, in the end, sacrificed so that other's could live. Adorable heroes, horrible villains (the machines), nearly non-stop violence and bloodless death on a bleak landscape of urban ruin. And, in the end, we're left in a ragdoll world without hope of any real life. Bit of a downer.

It's a very good movie, but if someone is too young to handle post-apocalyptic images or to even understand what post-apocalypse is, they won't fully appreciate this movie. It's very well made but kid's won't appreciate it, though they will probably enjoy it. It's more of an animated movie for teens.

Tim Burton has really done it again. His detailed backgrounds fill his dismal world. 9 is a great movie, but not that memorable. I enjoyed watching the struggle of the little robots in their world of machines and darkness, but I don't think I'll watch it again. For one thing, the cartoon was violent enough to earn a PG-13 rating-- and I actually agree with that. There are scenes frightening enough to scare my 10 year old brother, who left the room at least five times for "potty breaks." uh huh. Overall though, I enjoyed this movie. Yeah, it's a little strange, but anyone who is fascinated by brave new worlds will love this movie.

***CONTAINS SPOILERS***At first you see dead bodies, (including that of a baby on a little bike meant for infants, a mother with a child in her lap, and a scientist lying pale on the floor), and the first time the life is sucked out of someone, it is very disturbing and sad. But once you get used to the scariness, the movie is absolutley incredible. It's an ingenious creation. Not for sensitive people. There was an adult woman in the seat next to me who started crying, then a boy who was at least 7 sitting in the front seat, who walked out of the theater saying how awesome the movie was. And he was right, 9 is an awesome movie. You cant miss it.

The tagline for this film is true. 9 is a very good film, and it features breathless, intense action from start to finish, but with moments of humor and quiet as well. In a post-apocalyptic world, the only shreds of humanity left are nine ragdoll-like creatures, whose names are numbers (in the order that they were created). 1 is the ruthless elderly leader, 2 is the inventor, 3 and 4 are mute librarians, 5 is the doctor/mechanic, 6 is the crazy artist, 7 is the fearless warrior, 8 is a Frankenstein-type creature, and 9, the final one, is our protagonist. They all try to save themselves from a mechanical beast that 9 accidentally activates. I do not wish to spoil anything else. In terms of content, this is borderline PG and PG-13. Despite the fact that there's no blood or sex, the dark atmosphere and threat throughout this film will no doubt scare some kids. Some of the ragdoll creatures have their life sucked out of them by a giant robot. Also, there are a few images of dead bodies, a severed hand (no blood, though), and war imagery. Other than that, there isn't any other offensive content. Overall, see this film if you're over 11. I also recommend the short film 9 is based on, but note that it's silent and somewhat more bleak.

This movie creeped me out when i watched it in theaters. It has great roll models and messages, but intense violence with souls being taken out of the dolls.

This was a great movie. And @LissaNicky, IT IS NOT A KIDS MOVIE! ITS PG-13!
