Review of 9

9 (I) (2009)
6/10
Pieces of a Soul
6 November 2009
After an apocalyptical war between human and machines, the world is completely destroyed and without human life. The burlap doll 9 awakes without voice and finds a weird object in the middle of the debris that he brings with him. While walking through the ruins, 9 is attacked by a machine called Beast but he is saved by another doll called 2 that fixes his voice. 2 brings 9 to meet his hidden community, leaded by the coward 1. When 2 is captured by a machine, the newcomer 9 convinces the other dolls to go with him to rescue 2. However, 9 places the device that he found in a slot and activates a lethal machine called Brain. The burlap dolls are chased by Brain and despite the advices of 1 that they should hide, 9 organizes an attack to destroy Brain.

I had a great expectation with "9" and the bleak animation is really great. Unfortunately the flawed and unoriginal story is disappointing, a kind of rip-off of "WALL•E" and "Terminator" together and there are many holes and questions without answer or explanation. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "9 – A Salvação" ("9 – The Salvation")
