Quick Take: 9

I have Weaning off Vantin 200 mg of zoloft struggled for Buy Yasmin Online a while Indocin 75mg - 90 pills with writing reviews for things I don’t particularly like unless they strike an idea in my head that resonates.  Then I write more about the idea than the thing I am reviewing.  The reason for this is that I really don’t want to spend the time it would take to write a detailed review of a movie that didn’t catch my attention.  So I have come up with the “Quick Take” review.  It won’t be long but it will tell you what I think.  So here is the first “Quick Take” review of the movie 9.

Quick Take:  Interesting Premise + Lackluster Ending = Let Down

Why I saw it:

I have to say, I thought the post apocalyptic premise of this movie was interesting.  It is what drew me to this movie to begin with.  I like the idea of seeing how the world would handle it if everything reset quickly.  This was also an animated flick similar to a Pixar movie and that is always interesting to me.

The Good:

I thought the first 95% of the movie was good.  It had an interesting setting, interesting characters, and a hook that drew me in.

The basic premise of the story is humanity is gone and all that is left are these little creatures made of cloth and other materials.  They are like dolls that are alive and there are nine of them, each with their number on their bodies somewhere.  They face a mechanical foe who threatens their survival.  Pretty plain.  It was the questions that it brought up that made it interesting to me.  What was the significance with the numbers?  What are these things?  Where did they come from?  And, most importantly, what are they going to do in their situation and can they save the ones that have been captured?  All of these questions had me hooked from the get go.

The Bad:

The ending felt like it was from another movie.  It didn’t fit.  There was no foreshadowing for the events that take place.  It felt like they ran out of time to make the movie and then tacked on the ending.  And unfortunately an bad ending can ruin a good movie.  That is the case with 9.  It was fun to watch but expect a let down at the end.
