Tim Burton's 9

This was a movie made in 2009, directed by Tim Burton. The movie was an animation but had a different feeling than Nightmare Before Christmas. The shots were much smoother, and felt 3Dish. To be honest, I had high expectations going into the theater. The commercials looked good and intriguing, but the movie itself turned out to be a disappointment. The synopsis of the story is that humans have created machines that turned on the humans and destroyed them. The scientist that made these machines left behind 9 doll like figures to destroy the machines. Many parts of the movie were very strange and mysterious, which is very much likely for Tim Burton's movies. I think the story was good, but in my honest opinion, there were many loops in the story that made the plot confusing. I liked how the characters were developed and their relationship with others. A little bit more explaining, and I think the movie would have been great. I also think the movie played too much with the audience's emotions. Just when you think there's closure, more events keep happening that makes you feel empty. As for visuals, the movie was very well made. The explosions and the character designs were very very good. It felt like Burton made this movie out of obligation. I didn't feel much depth to it. The script had a good potential, but the presentation was just not thorough enough.
