i be not sure what drag me into the cinema to watch this movie and but few minute after it start and i want to leave the theater . for a while i hop at least the story will surprise me and but then realize it a waste of time and there be just nothing there . i stay only because i have another show after it . design represent some design where quite beautiful and mostly of the environment and but the character be terrible both in term of animation and design . they look great while still on poster and screenshots and but not when they have to come to life . they just do not work and mostly because the very same mistake most 3d company make represent technically it be very hard to create really natural material in 3d and that would make you feel that the character be alive . you need a lot of effort and knowledge ( hence money ) to create something that really feel like hair and skin and fabric and etc . those character in the movie be make out of cloth and and that just do not work . so they have this ugly cold feeling of the computer artificiality and where the cloth stretch or squeeze like a piece of plastic . it just do not have the feel of a material and that doll be make of ( that what those character mean to be ) . i think it be a big mistake choose this style for the character . it just have a feeling of a 3d shootnrun computer game . i do not want to go to cinema to have a computer game on my screen and do not know about you . animation be also a disgrace . i be a professional animator and be terribly disappoint at the low level of animation in 9. it be stiff and boring and almost lack any imagination or mood . it be just a little bit above most average 3d animation i saw and and that doesn not add to it any good . and all that the bad character design and bad animation could be solve with a good story and right . that be not the case here . actually the story be the bad thing in that movie . it be below any level . it start straight forward and it go straight forward and it end the same . there be no twist and no surprise and no good dialog and even no development . we have hear and saw story of machine overtake the humankind thousand of time and 9 be just one of them and and we know how it end at the very first minute of that movie . the character do not even have time to get into the story they be just there and show themselves almost immediately and and immediately some of them take action without even get to know what go on . it just do not work . there be also many repetitive action sequence and that look a if they be make to fill in the time for the lack of a story . act and sound and script oh my gosh and what can i tell and it be pathetic . bad story have a bad script and and except dialog like no and do not do it . i will do it . but . you can not do it alone . we can do it together . but there be rule . but we have to save him . etc etc and so on and and repeat itself all the time and so besides those terribly pathetic dialog and there be those non stop ahh and ohhh andehh and and oooh and and whatchout and and run . and ohohh . that be follow almost every jump and run and or fall of the character and it even sound a if they be out of sync or even unrehearsed . conclusion represent bad acting and bad animation and bad sound and bad story and bad script and bad character and everything expect and no surprise and no twist and nothing . only some good design be not worth the time . big no .
