New Movie- "9"

[Carth]

[quote]The time is the too-near future. Powered and enabled by the invention known as the Great Machine, the world’s machines have turned on mankind and sparked social unrest, decimating the human population before being largely shut down.

But as our world fell to pieces, a mission began to salvage the legacy of civilization; a group of small creations was given the spark of life by a scientist in the final days of humanity, and they continue to exist post-apocalypse. Another of their own, #9 (voiced by Elijah Wood), emerges and displays leadership qualities that may help them survive and possibly even thrive. The conflicted but resilient tribe already includes #1 (Christopher Plummer), a domineering war veteran and the group’s longtime leader; #2 (Martin Landau), a kindly but now-frail inventor; #3 and #4, scholarly twins who communicate nonverbally and mostly with each other; #5 (John C. Reilly), a stalwart and nurturing engineer; #6 (Crispin Glover), an erratic artist beset by visions; #7 (Jennifer Connelly), a brave and self-sufficient warrior; and #8 (Fred Tatasciore), the none-too-bright muscle and enforcer for #1.

With their group so few, these “stitchpunkâ€

Doesn't look like my kind of thing, but I'll go see it anyway to support more adult-oriented animation that isn't a mishmash of meaningless chaos.

It does look like the kind of movie that's got a huge twist somewhere in there that the trailers don't point to, though.

That looks really interesting, I think it's somewhere up my alley. It is showing in the US, right? idk the comments on Youtube confused me...

It reminds me of the Matrix.

Evil computers trying to destroy all of humanity and a group of young beings attempting to take down the demonic intelligence that is the enemy? Where have I heard that before?

Looks like a good movie. I think i have seen something like it before though.

Looks pretty awesome. More of something I'd wait to see on DVD, though.

It's based on an Oscar-winning short film from a few years back.

I went to go see it.

It wasn't what I expected.

... They could've done so much more with it! But it was alright, the stitchpunks were too adorable for their own good. D:<

Mm, man, it's sort of frustrating me that the plot had so much potential but the whole thing seemed sort of rushed.

I want a stitchpunk sock monkey, darn it!
