I’ve been blogging about 9 for some time. It’s a brilliant tale within a rich and imaginative artistic presentation. You need to have 9 in your library!

From visionary filmmakers Tim Burton (The Nightmare Before Christmas), Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) and Academy Award-nominated director Shane Acker comes this visually stunning and original epic adventure. 

In the final days of humanity, a dedicated scientist gives the spark of life to nine of his creations. The world has turned into an unrecognizable landscape of machines and spare parts, but this group of nine finds that if they band together, their small community might just be able to change the course of history. Featuring the voice talents of Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly and Crispin Glover, it’s a thrilling, suspenseful story.
