9 (2009)
Pretty much going to echo V and Urge on this one, only I think I might have enjoyed it a bit more. Some of the visuals are amazing, but the plot and characterization are way too weak. Nothing really happens, and you don;t really have any reason to get attached to the characters...but Goddamn there is some cool shit going on visually. Some moments are genuinely creepy, and even though I wasn't overly interested in the events going on, I couldn't bring myself to look away for a second.
Definitely a good movie, but it could have been significantly better if as much effort was put into the story as there was in the visuals. Still - if you intend to intend to see it, make sure you catch it in theatres...can't get over how gorgeous this was, and I think it might lose a little on a small screen.
