Review – 9

This would have been a lot more fun as a video game than it was as a movie. The plot – to the extent there is one – pits sentient rag dolls against a sinister cybernetic brain out to get them and thus complete the destruction of the last remnants of human society. Their various adventures suggest no end of interactive amusement, but just sitting back and watching them was more like, well, watching someone else play a TPS. The animation is good, but it can’t overcome a story this pointless. And of course the whole end-of-the-world thing (not to mention plentiful doll death) makes this the ideal bring-me-down for any child with too much joy in her life. Mildly amusing
