Last Friday I went with a friend of mine to see the movie 9. I had hopes for the movie and had been looking forward to its release since I first saw the trailer. I try to avoid most movie reviews in an effort to reduce any preconceived bias toward or against the movie.
When we sat down in the theater I had a feeling the movie hadn't done well by the fact that other than us only two people occupied the seats. The previews for the movie immediately gives you the impression that you just sat down for a serious kid flick along the lines of Bambi. The first few minutes of the movie however will correct this misconception. The movie wasn't bad and does manage to hold your attention, mainly because you assume that the story is going somewhere. The movie drops little breadcrumbs of plot information you excitedly gather up along the way. The ending however is sort of a "jokes on you" for thinking that any of the details you've collected are even remotely relevant. In the end after crafting plausable reasons and likely motivations everything is simply summed up as absolute magic. The movie was not bad, but it was definately disappointing, especially coming from Mr. Burton.
