Yep, folks, I’ve just returned from seeing Tim Burton’s (and co.) “9”. Ever since I first saw his “Nightmare Before Christmas” as a wee little one, I’ve been an eager fan of his work (though admittedly never saw much else from him until much later). So as you can imagine, I was hyped up as hell when I heard of his list of movies to be released for the next handful of years, which included “9”. I was interested in it when I first read about it, but after seeing the trailer in theaters my interest levels in it peaked out all the way to the top. And I wasn’t disappointed: The movie is grim, dark, and sharp on the edges (literally), but action-packed with stunning visual graphics for everything, right down to the tiniest little speck of detail. The character voices were… well, moderate to me (but then I’m never the best judge when it comes to voice work), but the characters themselves were extremely well-made, being fleshed out stitch-by-stitch, each possessing a personality different and unique from the last. The story was well-crafted, deep, and perhaps not even that far off from what our own future will be like. And as for the machines, well… let’s just say that their rendered, realistic design was enough for me to nearly jump out of my seat in terror.

So, to anyone who is a fan of Tim Burton, whether a newcomer or a devotee (or someone who likes dark, pitch-black machine monsters that terrorize a forlorn world), I highly recommend this movie to you, as it possibly could become one of his best stop-motion films.

_{…ZOMG, this makes me want to do some 9 fanart now.}
