NINE THEORY: The Entire Timeline of the Apocalypse!

NOTE: I realize that this movie was released September 9th 2009. When discussing the posters, I was simply considering the fact that the date might mean more within the movie's universe :D

the movie would have been REALLY SHORT if the scientist would have put a sticky note on the talisman and died

[thesurvivalist]

Scientist: Don't do that

Dictator: hehe machine goes

[ultraslye]

Every disaster movie ever

Scientist person:
Don't do that

Government person:

"I don't really want to explain the whole movie"

'Stitchpunk' is my new favorite word.

I personally have a theory that the events of the movie 9 could have taken many years of time for the dolls to even get to places. Considering how small they are and how they can’t physically die because they are like robots, it is possible that the events of this movie could have taken hundreds of years.

Actually 6 has the most soul.
Since of what the Scientist said in a Facebook post, "6 took the most out of me. I need to rest"
That makes sense due to his visions and 6s intelligence

The amount of lore in this movie is ridiculous when compared to how popular it was.

[tallmyster]

One detail you'll notice too about the numbers is the materials used to make them over time becoming increasingly better. From about 1 to 4 the materials are cloths and coarse textiles, their eyes more like worn out camera lenses, while from 5 onwards they're made of slowly more Kevlar and sandbag cloth, and their eyes are more metal and more refined, the high end materials one would find be used mostly in military properties.

i thought this was just a fever dream when i was 7, i pissed my pants and cried because of it.

[snowbear]

You left out a key point. Each doll represents a specific part of the doctor's soul that we tend to perceive that which makes us human. One is fear, another curiosity, courage, determination, and so on. The final doll 9 represents our sense of reason, which is a part that most believe is the very thing that makes us human. If the human race was doomed it'd make sense for the doctor to leave behind everything that makes a human a human. And he did so in the form of the dolls, so humanity would not be erased from the world that was doomed. As penance for his part played in the end of the world he sacrificed his life so that humanity would still live on.

Ah, Nine (9).


The show that scared the _shit_ out of me during my childhood.

[jayjaybruce]

Its been 3 years no second movie and I’m pissed because ‘9’ was a great movie and what do all good movies need theory’s and you did this movie justice

[IXCproductions]

I loved this movie as a kid, because it gives you this heavy gloomy feeling and just makes you feel a certain way, and I love that feeling for some reason like how people watch creepy videos on youtube or people watch violent and gorey stuff. Beautfiully made animated movie.

So creative and unique.

[fiona]

So, Nine was in germany.
More like NEIN!

[nvoom]

In the scene where the chancellor takes brain (the machine) it trys to grab onto the scientist and i think the scientist is the only thing brain cared about which is why he's the only one left alive at the begining

[sundless]

I was so scared of this movie was i when younger, and it always triggered my anxiety lmao

[shotie_]

Coraline was creepy and I loved everything about it, but this movie is so underrated. This scared me more as a child than Coraline did. Everything about it was just creepy and triggered anxiety. Maybe because it depicts real people and imagine seeing someone actually die?
