Nine Movie Review

So I've been waiting for this movie Nine to come out for some time and finally it did.


To be frank, I was a little disappointed but let me go through the positives and negatives to give it a proper movie review so I don't sound like I'm ranting about something trivial like light placement or a bad choice of music.

I walked into the theater with a smile on my face, mainly because I found a large tub of popcorn in the trashcan and just dumped it out and got it refilled. It was sitting on top of the trash so it was sanitary, trust me. Anyways, the first 30-40 minutes roll by with a little bit of action and suspense to hold my attention. But I'm sitting there thinking," this plot is kinda stupid...and really generic..."

Here's what happens, Sac Boy number 9 wakes up, his reaction to the world," AHHHHH."
He walks out of the building and finds fellow Sac person," AHHHH."
They confront a machine. Fellow Sac person gets captured and 9 just watches," AHHHH."
9 finds civilization, convinces them they should save him. Why? He was taken to the Machine Stronghold.
They go and rescue him, fail, the prisoner dies in the process.
They go back to base and 9 convinces them to go back because they awakened a computer monster who carries the ability to make monsters from parts it finds in its surroundings.
Sound familiar? Jesus just watch the Matrix.

Long story short, 5 people die at the end. Bad guy dies. Big surprise LUL.

I can't help but feel the movie was trying to be one big metaphor for humans to try and better themselves and to be careful with technology because it could inevitably be our demise.

One of the cool things in the movie was the ending. The monster eats the Sac people's souls which are parts of their creators soul that he split into 9 parts thus making the final Sac Boy,9, the one with the most complex and thought out character because he contains characteristics from all the other sac people. But about the souls, after they defeat the monster, the 5 souls he consumed disperse and the earth is covered in rain. The camera zooms into the rain and inside is bacteria, signs of life. This indicated the cycle of evolution is going to start all over again. Yay.

Okay, you probably thought that was stupid and cheesy but whatev.
