If any of you were curious, yes, I have a Twitter.
I've been toying with the idea of setting up a Twitter feed on my blog, but I can't seem to make it work. Maybe it's a sign.

9 Review - Sans the Spoilers

First, let us start with the trailer, as it seems a good place to begin.
The trailer suggests 9 is a post-apocalyptic, intensely dark, action-filled animated drama, even using Coheed and Cambria as a soundtrack to the clip.
I find the trailer to be very misleading.
Yes, it is post-apocalyptic, and it is dark in a very beautiful way, but I feel the trailer does no justice to what the movie is. The best way I can find to relay it is to say it's sort of sweet and wholesome, and the darkness is in its own way cute. The plot and pacing move slower than you'd expect from the trailer. 9 moves and has the same feel as Nightmare Before Christmas, but without the musical numbers.
The group of people I saw the movie with were sorely disappointed, and I believe this is because of how misleading the trailer was. It is a very well-done movie, and I would like to own it, but I think it is very disappointing if you're not going to see a sweet film about humanity with morals (no, it doesn't beat you over the head with them Wall-E).
The more I think about it, the more I liked it, knowing what it is as opposed to what it was advertised as. It was cuddly and eccentric as I remember Tim Burton to be from my childhood. Of course, I would like to see the movie that was in the trailer, but I can appreciate 9 for being well-done; well-written, well-animated, visually stunning, and a gentle, all-ages-appropriate film.
I'm confident more audiences will enjoy it knowing its soft qualities beforehand so they don't also feel mislead.

I had so much more to say, but it's late, I'm tired, so I'll just add when I remember later.
