Is “9” just an excuse to make a movie or something more?

By Erin Blatney
Staff Writer

On Sept. 9, the Tim Burton movie 9 was released. I was skeptical when I watched the commercial and saw the release date. It seemed to me like someone just wanted to make a movie on that particular day.

Surpirsingly, many people I’ve talked to told me the movie was much more than a gimmick. 9 is actually based off of a short-film directed by Shane Acker that won an Academy Award.

I have now challenged myself to see this movie before I judge it on its opening day. Hopefully, I will be surprised.
