W00T! Geek Movie Weekend!
Ever since we saw the trailer, the entire Geek household has been anxiously awaiting the release of Shane Acker’s animated movie, 9. It appears to be dark, visually stunning and thought-provoking. Awesome! An animated flick that isn’t all Disney and shnizit! Not that I have anything against Disney. It’s just nice to have some animation that isn’t targeted to the Pull-ups demographic.
I try not to read reviews before going to see movies. I find that most critics don’t get it, often being too snooty or trying to make every movie into Driving Miss Daisy – the last movie they truly loved. </snark> I did skim the reviews this morning and based on what I read, this is going to be a great flick although it is clearly not for young children. It is rated PG-13 for the violence and strong imagery that may be disturbing for children under 11.
In case you haven’t heard about 9, check out the trailer.
