"Some things in this world are better left where they lie."

We're still not really sure what the message of 9 was, or what all that funky business with the life forces and whatnot was, but we liked it. This was mostly because of the freaky animation and the great voice casting. It was quite visually compelling, and I do believe I didn't pick up my PSP once because I didn't want to miss any of the onscreen action. We feel like it achieved far more stylistically than it did story wise, and Brandon thought it could make an interesting video game but that the story was not expanded enough from its original short status to make a full length movie. It's not completely satisfying, but it's still short enough that it's worth a watch.
