The animation was evidently done (or at least supervised) by Starz Animation, and it has a consistent look and feel to it, as original as The Nightmare before Christmas.
Animation can give you all the time and space in the world, but this final drama on Earth is cramped, taking place in about a day in a ruined cityscape within about 2 klicks of the house where 9 first wakes up.
The film had an interesting plot that got a bit more complex in the end; part of the complexity had a spiritual vibe to it… it just seemed almost out of place and like the director was stretching for something that would make the film more “sophisticated.”
We were not disappointed in the movie by any means, it was a visually striking piece of film.
It was action-packed and fun without dumbing down the story or sacrificing it.
If you’re into sci-fi, apocalyptic thrillers, and animation this is for you!.
When 9 first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world where 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.
enjoy!
