I'm definitely appreciating the art direction in this. I'd love to go see the movie just because I haven't been to the theaters in a few months.

I do not understand either of those last two posts...

Arpy is posting that in everyone's blog, and Cags doubts that 9 rocked.

 

As do I. It looked kind of... over-hyped, if you know what I mean. That, and this movie review site that I pretty much always agree with gave it a bleh rating of 50 something percent.

 

Not saying you can't like it, just didn't look like my cup o tea.

I can understand where you're coming from. That's also a reason I don't really like giving (movie(/CD/set)) reviews, because I tend to be slightly biased and "whoa!" and I don't really like saying things were bad (until I watched Transformers 2).

 

Now you got me curious, so I checked a movie site I know of and this is what they say:

Although its story is perhaps too familiar and less complex than some might wish, 9 is visually spectacular, and director Shane Acker's attention to detail succeeds in drawing viewers into the film's universe.

Sounds about right.

Cags doubts that 9 rocked.

Doubt? Pfaugh. I know.

Luckily I don't care about Cags' opinion.

(Slight tads of tidbits are welcome in MOCing though...because I pay attention to your MOCs.)

But seriously, does anyone have something to say about the movie? Who's seen it? Who's liked/disliked it?

I saw it.

 

AND OMG LOOOOOOOOOOVED IT.

 

What was very, very cool about it to me was... well, everything. =P All the nods to the short film made me want to squeal with delight, the steampunk/apoc feel of the world was incredibly realized, the creatures were spectacularly designed and very original, the characters had a lot of personality (could've seen more development, though), the plot was basic and yet deep at the same time... Like I said, everything.

 

But, yeah, it should've been longer. The shortness was almost criminal. I was like, "C'mon! I wanna see more!"

Movie critics are non-cool dudes. If they like a movie, it's rated R and far too gory for me. If I'm interested, they say it's lame and for simple-minded folks who would chew on their own eardrums if they could. (Um... okay, that maybe be a hyperboli)

 

I haven't seen 9. I think it's been overhyped (mostly from you. ) but I wouldn't mind seeing it at some point... but I'm far too lazy to bother going to the theater. Maybe some other time. (As I've been saying for pretty much every cool movie that's opened this year)

 

 

 

How bout

Thanks Lepaka, but what I'm really looking for are some full body pictures of him probably towering over 2 and 9. Plus, those are small--not wallpaper sized.

 

Cool though.

I'm going to the movie as a class excursion.

Bless my school.

The ending killed it for me. Everything was cool and original up until thenend and then it was alll buhhuhwhuh?

I didn't mind it. I think it made sense, at least in their senses of their world that Acker created. Definitely leaves a "now what?" feeling though.

7/10 roughly.

Needed more story, more character developement and a better ending, but the visual style was great and I liked that soundtrack.

 

Also, did anyone else feel like it was Terminator but with a wonderfully dark and quirky coat of paint? Man vs. Machine has ben done to death people!

I'm just easy to please, I guess.

(Not counting TF2 though.)
