Can little Sackboys really save all of humanity? 9 is a bleak little story, and while animated, it does carry many mature themes such as darkness, death, and sacrifice. However, the more the story moves along, the more you realize how much it plays out like a mediocre video game rather than a movie. And like most video games, the resolution of the characters is extremely poor, the writing generally sucks (some may even argue downright pathetic), and the quality of presentation is pretty much on par with that of an art student movie. If it were a video game, perhaps I would deem this all acceptable. But a feature film? That's just a recipe for disaster. 6.8/10.
