Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

 Based on 9 short film I am left with a bit of confusion mixed with a hint of clarity.  My first impression of the short film version is a 5/10. The plot only showed fear and determination from the characters. At best, the character development was weak as it gave the protagonist more confidence in their rate of survival. With weaknesses come strong points such as the special effects. The machine that both the protagonist and antagonist both  had these effects that left me, the viewer, to wonder what was so special about it. It was not until I witnessed the powerful machine produce prior protagonists who had the same goal of beating the antagonist to collect the tiny machine. On a more important note, the conventions were right on as the setting, theme, and plot all make it identifiable to the genre.

Now that I have watched the full movie, I am now enlightened on the full plot. The protagonist is picked very early on. Voices and speech are included to establish companionship between characters. The plot is chronologically organized as friendship between the main character whose name is 9, an a fellow characters named after numbers. The monster then destroys that by taking the friend. The hero informs others and is warned to rather stay away from the beast. 9 does not accept that and gathers groups from tribes to restore life on the planet of wiped out humans. The directorial style of providing a backstory of the shallow planet gave an understanding to the planet. The director then included one human to give 9 hope on why he created them to restore humanity. 

To compare, both short and full film share many of the same qualities. These can be listed as having a main character with an overall set goal, and the monster that disrupts the process. The deaths between close friends hinder the protagonist to collect the machine which is identified as an orb. To differ, the full film did a better job at the plot with an understand on why the characters were troubled by the beast. On the other hand, the short film gave a great understanding of what the movie intends of the ending. From a selection of the best qualities, I would agree that the full movie is much more enjoyable.  The movie was ahead of its time based on the little views I stumbled upon research. It showed wisdom, deaths, and determination to achieving an end goal.  Not only that the full version was not based on survival but it also included more personal details that shape's 9 morals. I got the chance to be provided a backstory on why the setting went from a territory of characters down to the surviving few.
