Nine humans are transformed into cyborgs with astounding powers. They restore world peace and disappear until a faceless menace bombs cities around the world.

We are treated to superb city landscapes but so much minor detail that you never know who is doing what to whom, or even why.

It's beautifully animated - the climactic sequence in Earth orbit is breathtaking - and its philosophical digressions are fascinating, if completely bananas.

We're in a post-9/11 world plagued with terror attacks. Is it an American corporate conspiracy? Or the work of a deity? Cue the obligatory second-half metaphysical blather.

Despite its good looks, there's no escaping 009 Re: Cyborg's tiresome and hollow script.

It's overlong and, for an animated film, there's too much windy philosophical talk of an ontological kind, dropping the names of Freud and the religious historian Mircea Eliade.

A whole lotta WTF folded into a derivative, misogynist, and just plain incoherent mess.

Push too far in the theological with the concept of His Voice resulting in something boring and confusing. Disappointing, I was expecting better from the Cyborgs.

Ah... Story was too smart and complicated... So it was really hard to understand it... Beautiful animation and nice 3D effects... Message was good. But movie ended suddenly... Japanese people makes great anime series and only 25 minutes. But they can't make great movies... Too long... So I kinda disappointed...
