9 was released in theaters today (no, not District 9 which came out – just 9) so I am sure that all the Tim Burton fans will be heading out to see it. The film takes place in a post-apocalyptic world and “9” comes to life and discovers that all of the humans are gone and machines rule the earth.
While seeking refuge, 9 finds a groups of other beings like himself who are trying to stave off extinction. The small community is in hiding but 9 convinces them that the only way to truly survive is to rise up, face the adversity and find out why they are being targeted. Naturally, the answers make them realize that the future depends on what they are able to accomplish.
Tim Burton is a genius when it comes to these strange, often dark films. He doesn’t make a lot of movies but the ones that he does produce are usually memorable. Some of my favorites include Edward Scissorhands, Batman and The Nightmare Before Christmas. He’s also producing the upcoming remake of Alice in Wonderland.
The pictures are pretty creepy but you’ll get a better idea if you check out the trailer:
