I’ve been sitting on the second trailer for 9 (not to be confused with Rob Marshall’s Nine) for a couple of days, mostly because I can’t seem to work up any enthusiasm for it. I know a lot of you sci-fi geeks are drooling all over your fannypacks. It does look cool, and I dig the idea of a post-apocalyptic animation movie. It’s also being produced by Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov, so there’s some talent involved.

It’s difficult to get into a dark, doomsday animated film when you keep hearing the lovable voice of Elijah Wood, the goofy voice of John C. Reilly, and the toneless voice of Jennifer Connelly.
