"9" is an ambitious film with extraordinary visuals that unfortunately just doesn't quite gel into a cohesive whole. The plot and characters are extremely thin and forgettable, but as a visual feast "9" excels. On that one strength alone, the film works just enough to be recommen...( read more)

It's too bad the thin story didn't match the stylishly haunting visuals. full review
Exquisite visuals aside, 9 plays like a sock monkey version of Doom. full review
Every effort to expand the range of feature-length animation beyond the confines of cautious family fare is to be welcomed, and budding techno and fantasy geeks are likely to be intrigued and enthralled. full review
Here's the strangest thing of all: it works. full review
For all the Saturday-matinee heroics, the movie is dreary and monotonous, the vision junky in more ways than one. full review
Beautifully designed but short on depth or novelty. full review
A brilliantly animated and welcome treat for moviegoers searching for adventure, inspiration and complete originality. full review
