Blu-Ray Review: 9

9 is an intriguing concept and one you'd have to be crazy not to love it and still be an animation fan. The end result isn't QUITE as good as you may think but still a nice 'un.

9 is a ragdoll, one of 9 of his kind. It turns out humans have been killed by large machines and the ragdolls must carry on humanity.

9 has many action pieces, most of which are intense and would make many blockbuster film makers really stand in awe. The animation is brilliant and shines in Hi-Def. The only problem is the ending that fells a little too much. Spirits come out of devices and feels just a bit like they wanted to pull the heartstrings too much.

That behind, the film is awesome. It's one great film an I see a future for Shane Acker.

Rating: 8.5 out of 10 or A-

Looks like Sam Worthington is at it again. His next action film is a remake of the 1981 film. Above is the poster for it. Watch the trailer for the March 26, 2010 flick on Youtube.

Review: Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

I think each Ice Age film represents a new genre. The first one was drama, the second comedy and this one is action. Still, this is the weakest one yet, though far better than Shrek 3.

This time, Manny and Ellie are having a baby and Sid is looking for friendships. He finds some eggs and learns they are dinosaurs!! Soon, they land in a land of dinosaurs and have to escape with Buck a 1-eyed weasel (Simon Pegg).

I think this was okay, but a little too long. Still, the voices are fun (Though Ray Ramono is a little too soft.) The animation is great but 3D seems to be intentionally placed which is anooying.

Overall, it's okay, but needs work, although it is a fun ride.

Overall: 7.7 out of 10 or B
