The Nines

Let me say this first- I googled this movie to read other reviews of it and see if there were any good articles on it, and none of them said much beyond "I can't tell you what this movie is about, but its awesome and you should see it.". So, I'll try and do a better job of it.

This sci-fi movie (ooh, that's a clue) starring Ryan Reynolds, a critically underrated actor who can play both comedic and serious roles, is a mind-bending, thought-inducing, trippy in the best way indie flick. You will be confused for most of the movie. You won't really understand it all until the end, and you will still have to think about it after that. You have to pay attention, and you'll either love it or hate it. For me, it was a definite love it, this was a fantastic film in the vein of classic "Twilight Zones" that had an amazing cast, good setup, and a satisfying end.

Of the plot, I will say this: The film involves three parallel stories of three men, all played by Ryan Reynolds. And it's definitely a fantasy/sci-fi.

Sorry, that's all I'm going to say. It's really really worth it if I don't ruin it for you. But if you like your mind getting bent, and if you like a serious sci-fi movie that doesn't rely on cheap tricks or special effects (not too many in here), then please go see this. In the name of Rod Serling, prepare to enter a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of the imagination, the twilight zone.
