This was a way weird movie. I won't spoil anything from this one but the ending is totally not expected. Just know it's got Ryan Reyonlds in it and we learn that Kuala Bears are telepathic. If you want a total trip out movie, watch this.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Um... what?

A lot of this film doesn't hold together as well as I think John August thought it did, and as a result its not fully satisfying. Pretentious? Perhaps. However, it is an interesting watch and Ryan Reynolds proves the acting chops, that I always thought he had, here!

Once the 'pay-off' scene arrives, you are left with a bit of a disappointing taste in your mouth, because it doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the movie. And merely repeating the number 9 throughout the film in clever ways, isn't necessarily clever screenwriting.

The reason that The Nines gets 6 out of 10, rather than 9, is because it's not as clever as it thinks it is, and while enjoyable... doesn't really add up to much.

I liked this quite a bit for the first 85% or so of the movie, but by the end I was little unsure of what I thought about it. This is probably Ryan Reynolds' best role; he does some different things here that I have not seen him do before and I was kind of impressed. The rest of the casting was great, if not a bit unusual. The story was very interesting, but as I said, the resolution of everything left me confused and even a bit annoyed. I'll probably watch this one again as I think I could end up liking it a lot. I'm a sucker for this kind of stuff.

Not what I was expecting at all. Wasn't super taken with the film until it got to the second half, where it comes together and has some much stronger scenes. Soundtrack is a highlight and comes into it's own towards the end of the movie.

An interesting science fiction tale starring an underrated Ryan Reynolds. Sometimes too clever for it's own good though.

Super imaginative and well-thought out. John August continues to be one of my favourite screenwriters. "Pandas are an 8, they're telepathic and they control the weather!"

I kind of liked this movie for the first 50 minutes or so. Now, because of how the rest of it played out, I wish I could forget I even tried to watch it.

This is a real "mess with your head" kind of movie...and I mean that in a good way. It's as if the movie Adaptation and the Robert Heinlein story The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag got together and had a mutant love child. I genuinely had my hair standing up on my arms at a few points during this film.

A good idea, an awful movie.

Pretty good. A confusing movie that actually makes an effort to give an explanation, which can be a rare thing.

I watched this movie again, without even realizing that I had already watched it. It wasn't until the ending let me down that I remember this movie.

Ryan Reynolds is fantastic, he really spreads his wings in this movie. But otherwise it is just trying to be too ironic and too smart to be interesting.

Best line: 'Koala's! They're telepathic. Plus, they control the weather...'

Breezy meta oddity, showcasing the dramatic talent of Ryan Reynolds long before Buried. Lost Highway Lite, basically. Oh, and look out for a very young and very good Elle Fanning.
