Research 9: Feature Film

     This movie started with a man building the future main character of the movie. There is a voice over that gives a brief explanation of the plot. When 9 comes to life, they find themselves in a post-apocalyptic world where humans died out. The only signs of life are rag dolls like 9 and the machines that hunt them. 9 convinces the others that the only way to survive against the machines is to stop hiding, and fight the machine. As 9 and the group learn, civilization is relying on their success or failure. 

    1 seems to be the leader, who is very defensive and willing to sacrifice  the few for the many. 2 is the first one 9 meets while they are in the middle of rubbish, and both end up fighting off one of these robots. We don't get to learn much about two because they were taken by the robot early and killed shortly after the others go to rescue them. 3 and 4, we learn, are twins. They don't speak much, they like to catalogue everything and are able to recall what they saw through projection. They are mostly cheerful the entire time. 5 and 6 both seemed to be friends, they were both willing to fight for their friends and do whatever it took to rescue and protect each other. 7 was a fighter, they were more rogue than the others. the dolls in 1's group were all about staying in hiding while 7 was traveling and fighting the robots when they crossed paths. They seemed to be protecting the twins. 8 seemed to be the bodyguard of 1. They had no problem doing what 1 said, and eventually got taken by a robot while on lookout for 1 and the others. 9 was the youngest, but worked their way to being the leader of the group. The were very ambitious and all about fighting for their friends. 

    The film consisted of many camera angles and edits that contributed. There was a lot of suspenseful and action packed music in the background as the numbers were hiding or fighting for their lives. There were many tracking shots as we watched many chasing scenes. There were also shot reverse shots when someone was in trouble and someone else was trying to figure out what to do.
