Cricket Movie Review: 9 (Also Up and District 9)

So, 9 came out a couple days ago. It's a movie I've been fairly excited about, for a few reasons--

1) I like sci-fi.
2) In addition liking sci-fi, I like the specific niches of dystopian and post-apocalypse sci-fi.
3) I'm a fan of (good) animation, and this certainly didn't look disappointing in that regard.
4) The character designs seemed interesting.
5) A really, really well-put-together trailer is usually a good sign.

So, I wasn't expecting anything earth-shaking--just a good, quality, for-a-slightly-older-audience piece of post-apocalyptic animation.

I'm going to be pretty frank and brief, because I haven't been keeping up on my movie reviews.
