But yeah, this was awesome. It takes an extremely simple concept: a post-apocalyptic scenario with robots ruling the roost, and it manages to build an entire world around that is so few words, just through visuals. Plus you have the general idea of these little sack people trying to survive in a world designed for people ten times bigger than them. Thats always intriguing. Its just a visually stunning movie with a solid plot that doesnt try to push too far and go overboard on what its creating. Snake: Feels like one of the darkest worlds ever put to animation but inbued with light thanks to its compelling cast of characters. The post-apocalyptic setting really set it apart from other animated fare and theres even elements of horror and mystery that keep you glued to your seat and ready to learn more. It doesnt pull its punches either when it comes to death and sacrifice. Genny: 9 is one of those movies that is better in concept than execution. That's not to say it's not good, because it still is. The thought that went into every facet of every detail, and every pixel in the animation is amazing to behold. I just wish more effort went into making the characters unique and memorable. It really blows that one of the two I got attached to went out in a dumb way and there's no way to bring any of them back, but that's the point: that death is final because the soul isn't infinite like a machine. Still what a downer ending. Johnbobb: Im not going to pretend to not have issues with 9. I think theres definitely some confusing logic behind the science/magic/faith of souls, which are somehow the basis of life (but from a scientific perspective, because they actually create bacteria?). The film seems to want to make you think just not too hard. That being said, its still a visual triumph. While the story is sometimes lacking, the detail in the environments, the machines, and the action sequences are all pretty incredible. The creators got a little unlucky with its release putting it out in the same year as three other darker-themed animated movies came out that year (Fantastic Mr. Fox, Coraline and Mary & Max [Up came out this year too, damn good year for animation]), the first two of which had far superior marketing behind them. Its easy to forget about 9, but that doesnt stop it from being a thrilling experience. scarlet: Conceptually phenomenal. But, like its protagonists, full of no real substance. A lot of fluff without meat and bone. A grand journey that reveals no purpose. Rating: 55/100 --- :> Truly smilin' <cite>v_charon posted [p:900020998] in Gauntlet C...
