9

Alright, so let me think this one through. There are nine dolls, created by the scientist who also creates the machine that destroys mankind as we know it, that contain nine pieces of the scientist's soul. There's some hoodoo voodoo behind-the-curtain stuff that leads to the technology of soul slicing and removing (Harry Potter anyone?) but after the ninth doll is animated the scientist dies. The dolls have one major enemy, a small cat like robot that tries to steal their technology to reanimate the "evil" machine that once ruled the world (and killed all the humans) but after one pretty short fight scene the cat robot is taken out. So...that's the end right? No. The doll #9 reanimates the evil machine...on purpose...to see what will happen... What?

The rest of the movie is the evil machine coming back into power and kicking the shit out of the dolls in various creepy ways, and the dolls trying to turn the machine back off. Five of the nine dolls die but the #9, the one that causes the problem in the first place gets to live! And then in the end it rains and I thought of Wall-E. It's Tim Burton does Wall-E and War of the Worlds with rag dolls. A must miss for sure.
