About this movie

From visionary filmmakers Tim Burton (The Nightmare Before Christmas) and Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) and Academy Award-nominated director Shane Acker comes this visually stunning and original epic adventure. In the final days of humanity, a dedicated scientist gives the spark of life to nine of his creations. The world has turned into an unrecognizable landscape of machines and spare parts, but this group of nine finds that if they band together, their small community might just be able to change the course of history. Featuring the voice talents of Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly and Crispin Glover, it's a thrilling, suspenseful story critics call "richly imaginative." (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone)

(A few spoilers for parents' sake). It was definitely interesting. Kind of scary in parts (let's just say I wouldn't let any kid younger than 12 watch it). I think it was certainly thought provoking, maybe even slightly controversial about the idea of "Dark Science" and the micro-organisms in the end that hint at some form of evolution. It has some dark themes, but if you get past them it's a cool story and it features the concept of a loving Creator in the character of the Scientist. Although, the movie can seem slow in parts, but I think we can chuck that up to the "artsy independent film" feel that the whole thing has.

I don't know hpw to react. This movie has seens that are graphic in ways that society is not used to. It is very dramatic. The part the scares me most is that there are discarded human bodies lying around. This movie is seriously thrilling. I was mist shocked about a scene where is shows a mother holding a baby. Both are dead, and it is shocking. I think they took it a bit too far when it came to details like that. The movie could have done with out. I don't know wheayher to recomend or not. If you like dra

I'm usually not into scary films, but this one's an exception. Its dull-yet-calm colors make it very mystifying to look at, & very lonely (which fits, since its setting's a post-apocalyptic Earth). Each main character's unique & easy to sympathize w/, & I really like the design in general. The film tends to be rather quiet, like something could jump out at any second, which I think greatly adds to the experience. I even remember being in the theater, leaping back in surprise after leaning in!😅
