Tim Burton's 9

9 takes place in a desolate waste land after a war waged between humans and robots. The robots defeated the humans then went to a warehouse "to die". The only survivors are a creature called The Beast and 9 creatures made out of cloth and machinery. A scientist that's name is never learned transports his life force into the nine creatures. Each of the creatures has some part of the scientists personality.The antagonist is a very large robot that is out of control and capable of thought. The main protagonist is the ninth creature to be created by the scientist, his name is 9. 9 is a very curios character he can also be adventurous and inventive at times. . 1 is the self proclaimed leader of the 9 creatures, 1 is very controlling and believes the only way to avoid death is to hide.. 2 is the most inventive of all the creatures, he can invent something out of almost anything. 3 and 4 are the smart twins that don't talk, their job is to study and gain knowledge about everything they come in contact with. 3 and 4 are not under the leadership of 1. 5 is very timid, but he goes out on a journey with 9. 5 and 2 are also very good friends. 6 acts like he is crazy but it seems that he has a better understanding of what is going on than any of the other creatures. 7 acts very much like a freedom fighter and is the only women. She also isn't under the leadership of 1. 8 is the stereotypical dumb but strong henchmen of 1. He gets some enjoyment out of pushing the other creatures around. The story 9 documents the quest of the creatures to destroy the thinking robot and all the monsters it creates.
9 is rated pg-13 for animated violence and scary images. I don't recommend this movie for little kids. I give the movie a 7 out of 10. I think that you should go see it, tell me what you think in the comments section.
