The animation was incredible, I just didn't get into the story at all.

A beautifully animated film with a wonderful atmosphere, let down by its formulaic script and characters.

Average.

A small animated movie that isn't sure what it wants to be, sure it doesn't try to be a Pixar movie or anything, but it is oddly depressing, never really being a fun journey.
The voice acting also at times is not so great, even though it has like the best cast ever.
I liked the somber tone and its originality (in terms of computer animated films), but the total lack of fun, heavy handed
themes and horrible pacing kind of killed it for me."We had such potential. Such promise. But we squandered our gifts, our intelligence. Our blind pursuit of technology only sped us quicker to our doom. Our world is ending. But life must go on."

Well what a rather dark family film that was. A great concept and really brilliant animation, but the plot felt a little lacking, often skipping over parts to drag out others. I'm just a little disappointed that it wasn't ever exciting or entertaining, it was just quite thought provoking and not quite the children's animation you would imagine.

Acker fails to explore the details and characters of his original world, leaving the full-length expansion of his short feeling rather thin.

Still good enough. Some of the animation is great and other bits not so much. Still original and fun though.

It's gorgeous and creates a great mood, but they forgot to put a movie of any substance around all these great visuals.

It’s basically Toy Story meets The Matrix. the visuals are amazing. I’d say it’s one of the best-looking animated movies to hit in a while. Beyond that though, 9 is a pretty thin, weak, and uninteresting story.
