9 DVD and Blu-Ray Release Date

Get ready to own your very own copy of 9… the post-apocalyptic CGI spectacle that wowed theater-goers earlier this year. The film will be released on December 29, 2009, a day that’s shaping up to be one hell of a DVD release day.

The film will come in standard DVD and Blu-Ray version, but details are sketchy beyond that. I suspect there will be a single-disc barebones edition and a two-disc special edition in standard formats, while there will be a single-disc Blu-Ray version with all the bells and whistles.

If you don't know what 9 is, here is the synopsis from my review: “The film follows the tale of 9 ragdolls who are alive in a destroyed world. They live in fear of “The Beast,” a machine that seems intent on collecting and killing all life. 9, one of the ragdolls who has just woken up, is discovering himself in the new world. His fresh approach collides with the leader of the ragdolls, 1, which leads to some ragdeath and the awakening of an even more dangerous machine. 9 must get his fellow ragdolls to eschew tradition and fear and fight back to recover the world that has been destroyed. It’s actually a fairly simple tell, and there is little in the way of complexity in the film, which is kind of disappointing because the premise never reaches its full potential.”
