Steve Reviews: 9

This week Steve Reviews 9. A dark and creepy CGI movie which released in 2009. Rated a 12, this is definitely not a movie you want kids to be watching!

[wheeeeeeeeeee]

Minions: Remembered as one of the highest grossing animated films of all time.

9: Forgotten in time

Reality is often disappointing

[Korvo.]

"For something that looks like your typical CG kids film..."
*centipede with a red eye baby head crawls across screen*

9 was probably the most underrated movie of 2009. It's a shame that it never got the recognition and box office that it deserved.

[ihategoo]

The reason why I love this film when I was a kid, is because it didn’t treat me like I was a kid, like the Batman animated series. I wish more animated kid films were like this nowadays

[Finnthecreature]

I just realised that the romance between 7 and 9 is basically the seven ate nine joke

[rayventakacs]

"...Because unlike Minions, this film is actually good."
Me: *gives standing ovation.*

[サム-qe]

This is one of these films of which you thought it just was a dream but years later it turns out, it was real after all...

[nukahyatt]

I cosplayed 9 once and literally someone said “are you a minion?” I- 😭

[lennykiller]

9 is a underated film but a sad one. Plus the fandom wasn’t that bad they actually came up with great theories and how the sequel would be even though the idea of the sequel got canceled.

[carumsarene]

I totally get the confusion with the character development. Here's what's given:

1 is Fear
2 is Inspiration
3 and 4 are Memory (Long Term and Short Term)
5 is Insecurity
6 is Faith
7 is Spirit
8 is Power
9 is Empathy

7 doesn't solely represent rebellion since we see 9, 5, 3, and 4 do the same.

9 doesn't solely represent courage since we see 1, 7, 6, and 8 have as well.

This was PG 13?!...

*WAS MY PARENTS TRYING TO TRAUMATIZE ME? THEY MADE ME WATCH THIS WHEN I WAS LIKE 5*

[cancertourmaline]

After Coraline, 9 was the next 'horror' my mom showed me. I think these two really gave me a good look into psychological and sometimes bittersweet horror. Gave me a lot of appreciation for these shows. Even if 9 seems wonky with characters and animation, it still remains a fav!

[MCslender]

I saw 9 on an airplane when I was 5 thinking it was The Little Big Planet Movie. Biggest mistake of my life...

[bush_kit]

And the main character is..
**drumroll**
Ad: *Pampers keep babies skin-*

[irrelevantperson]

Further proof that animation is nOT just for kids.
Be it Flash animation, CGI or hand drawn.

"Kids movie" Bruh I'm 22 and still in love with this masterpiece lmao, like all this world is so chaotic and bizarre. I've never seen something similar else, love it so much!

[syarnorkl]

“And the main character is...”
*drumroll*
Ad: “My Anxiety got really bad after I started vaping-“

[madsvigan]

My personal thing, is the whole idea of how the humans died, and the machine wanted the professors soul, is because it was incomplete, and that drives it insane to gas the human race. Then killing the small dolls, so it's own soul can be complete when the human element to its design finally is there.

"And the main character we follow is..."

"New airflow mega mascara."

[dustygalaxy]

I remember watching 9 as a kid and being absolutely obsessed with it. I remember drawing the characters because of this and my mom found it kind of strange that a 4 year old was into such a dark movie.
