DVD Review "9" Score B 85%

Visually this movie is stunning, it looks like it made with stop motion puppetry but its entirely animated. The story is a bit convoluted with a basic theme that extends the MATRIX concepts. Basically a human scientist created an AI robot, the government used this to make war machines, eventually the machines targeted all humans as a threat. The scientist's last invention is a machine that split his human soul into a set of 9 fabric robot dolls, why that who knows. The last of the dolls #9 awakes to find itself in the room with the now dead scientist, he explores the destroyed world finding the other dolls, which are hunted by the machines to steal their life force or something like that. Its bleak film with a bleak look at a weird futuristic theme. Not for children at all and is more of an animators film maker movie.
