Research 9, the feature film

 After i watched the short film called 9, it was time for the full thing. I had watched the movie , along time ago , when i was around like 7. When i thought about it before i rewatched it , it's just a faint lucid memory. having said this, when i rewatched it over the like 8 year gap i last watched it, it was a nostalgia trip. To get back into the critique, I have mixed feeling about the film. My impressions that this movie felt rushed. The animation was pretty good for the time. it didn't have that good resolution though, some of the close ups looked like it was from a video game. That was the only parts that didn't feel rushed, I feel like the creator had to many ideas that he wanted to implement, but not enough time and budget. The pacing was very fast. Story beats happen one after another, after another with out a moment of rest. It felt like there was like 5 different mini climaxes, back to back to back during the later half of the film. To continue on, the plot was okay. I really liked the concept and the hidden backstory revealed in the end, and what all the green stuff was. The end is where i really believed it got bad. That's where the plot felt rushed, and where they had to fulfil a time quotah. The characters were probably one of the best parts of the movie. I liked how they were all different, and there personalities were unique. They really did not  develop though. Characters died before they could really change besides like 3 of the main numbers. Some of the characters didn't need to die too. It was like ten minutes ago were we got introduced to them, and then they died. We had no time to get invested into there actual motivations and who they really were. The special effects were cool too, nothing that really stand out. Lasty, the directorial style was just ehh. It felt like it was his first real movie, which it was, but it is good for his first time. In the end, I do like the movie, but it did have a lot of problems.
