Best last few seconds of a movie since Iron Man.
Life was in the raindrops. That was awesome.
sharesorry that sucks
don't listen to critics. say no to rankings.
No, it doesn't suck.
It simply requires appriciation for how life on earth began.
PINKill, pretty sure the current theory involves primordial soup and not rain.
Of course, I could be wrong. I wasn't there.
yeah rain falling on a planet where everything is dead is AWESOME. Now we have a wet dead world - yipppeeee!

I think you rather missed the point by about a million miles;)
shareThats right Doctor T, the planet has never once been dead and wet... moron...

Interesting.
"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void."
So yeah, it WAS once dead and wet.
I won't comment on the Genesis quote ("you can't win with these people") but rather on the significance of the scene that enthralled the OP so much. Had they added a few more seconds, this epilogue could have been less naive and far fetched than it really looks like as it is now. Yes, for people with a simple mind who don't care much for science, anything would go, and you might as well have got spermatozoa swimming in those droplets for all they care... As long as it evokes LIFE !
I don't buy that, of course, but allegories rarely stick to the realm of science and proven facts. They dwell on symbols, and the idea that life would pour out from the sky just like that -thanks to the sacrificial death of five rag dolls and whose soul ascends to heaven - smells of evangelic preaching. But hey! selling an idea to many people in order to get funding involves whore behavior, and infusing a few safe, typically judeo-christian symbols here and there is a sure crowd-pleaser. I doubt that the more scientific approach (such as just showing the rain, period) would have been so mystically exciting.
But for my money, the film's conclusion would have been less irritating if they had imagined something else than the self-sacrificial-death-in-the name-of-humanity-followed-by-redemption-and-ascension thing, which is far too obvious. Not that I have anything against the idea, but the fact that it is juxtaposed with the depiction of how evil it is to want to create life for humans is... enough said.
Too much moralizing can ruin a movie. But I liked "9" so much for the absolutely fascinating and incredibly effective animation and graphics that they could have added scientology ideas in the movie to seduce potential members that I would not have even cared...
