9 Review

“9″ is set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland that is visually inspiring, exquisitely crafted, unflinching (for an animated PG-13 movie), and frustratingly vapid.  It’s one thing to see a bloated summer blockbuster indulge in such technical indulgence at the expense of story and character (I’m looking at you “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”), but for a small movie like “9″ which was based on an animated short film and comes out of Universal’s art house distribution division, Focus Features, “9″ only cares about its technical and visual achievements and forgets its story and characters.
