Proof positive that originality doesn’t necessarily equal quality, this unusual slice of digitally animated apocalypse throws up some intriguing ideas but ultimately fails to impress. 9 is a stuffed toy who comes to life in a post-human future of giant...

It doesn't bode well: an unprepossessing title, an unheard-of production team, a synopsis – a portrait of the Ross brothers' hometown of Sidney, Ohio – which seems to promise little more than downhome self-indulgence served with warm apple pie. And perhaps...

Taking its cue from Frank Miller’s comic-book version of Greek history rather than the 1962 vintage swords-and-sandals epic ‘The 300 Spartans’, the latest Hollywood take on the heroics of Thermopylae brings us Gerard Butler’s hammy Scots-accented Spartan...
