A scientist created a robot known as B.R.A.I.N, which would serve mankind and help it evolve and thus improve society. The machine, however, went against the humans which eventually led to a war of machines versus humans. The scientist realising his mistake, built miniature human-like robots out of cloth known as 'Stitchpunks' and gave each of them a unique number from 1 to 9. Humankind is destroyed and the machines rule over Earth. Each of these 9 Stitchpunks come to life and form an alliance to protect themselves. They are led by 1 (Plummer) the eldest of them all who has been evading the machines and keeping the Stitchpunks safe. 9 (Wood) comes to life and joins the clan. He is not satisfied with 1's defensive approach and wishes to take on a more aggressive role. 2 (Landau) is kidnapped by a machine and 9 is determined to save him. 2's close friend, 5 (Reiley) accompanies him on this quest. They meet a warrior 7 (Connelly) who helps them save 2 but 9 accidentally brings to life a dangerous machine manufacturing factory. The Stitchpunks are now in a worse condition than what they were earlier and are faced with a do or die situation. The story progresses at a very rapid face for the first half, which is slightly disturbing but manages to collect itself together and end on a high note. The graphics are superb and are almost life-like. The fundamental plot is nothing new but the entire concept of Stitchpunks is indeed innovative. A nice watch for all age groups and the lack of humour in bits and pieces was sorely missed.
Thumbs up: Graphics, entertaining watch
Thumbs down: Lack of humour
Rating: 6.9/10
