Producers Tim Burton & Timur Bekmambetov lend a hand in adapting director Shane Acker's award-winning animated short film 9 into a feature length production.
It follows the story of bizarre little ragdoll beings brought to life in a post-apocalyptic world run by terrifying machines, so as you can guess, the film is heavy on imagination and design. However it falls completely flat on character development and boring voice acting, which doesn't leave a whole lot to care about by the time the third act comes around. To be fair I was enjoying it quite a bit but found myself becoming restless and waiting for it to end by the one hour mark after the wow-factor from the unique imagination wore off.

Nicely Nutted. I agree completely. The character development and voice acting bring it down.
I’m guessing you watched the short that inspired the feature? It’s not as technically advanced but it’s much better in every other dept.
5 for the short.
3 for the film.
