9
I just saw 9, and it’s always a little disconcerting when you feel empathy for sock puppets (even if they have each been granted 1/9 a human soul). I certainly didn’t expect to get misty-eyed during that film.
The voice-acting was about average, although the script during action scenes (“9!” “2!” “7!”) sometimes bordered on inane - perhaps they would have been better off cutting the dialogue, picking up the slack with the score, and just let the audience revel in the intensity of sock puppets vs. the machines. The movie was over quicker than you wanted it to be, but you didn’t leave feeling disappointed; like an expensive meal that doesn’t truly fill you up, but you still enjoyed every brief second of it.
I’d recommend it for anyone who doesn’t mind their fantasy saddening them.
