as far as i saw the only thing they where trying to do was survive, and then help release his trapped friends, i didn't see any hints or even any way that they could repopulate. , or that it was ever their goal.


if you mean the old man, i think his only plan was to leave behind a little of humanity, before it all disappeared.

The dolls were just the means to an end.

Their personalities were all just aspects of the old man, but not understanding their purpose.

I'm a bit foggy on the movie, as it's been a while now, but I don't even think they needed to activate the monster, but was just their misunderstanding of what to do with the key.

At the end, the entire point of their existence was something in their genetic code introduced into the atmosphere that made it rain again, as well as introduced the bateria/enzymes/amino acids for evolution to start again.

Unless someone left early or went to the bathroom at the end, they couldn't have missed seeing it swimming around in the rain.

hmmm i completely missed what your describing in the end, I'll have to check it out, though i didn't watch it in the theaters, the copy i had might have had that part taken out.


also i was unaware that the poison the robots released was so devastating that it would destroy every living thing including micro organisms.

Yeah it says it kills every living thing. The end was just rain falling onto the screen then the focus switches and you see green microscopic life floating around in the drops.

I think the scientist died before being able to tell 9 what needed to be done. When he returned to the lab towards the end he found the movie box that told him what he needed to know. If he had found it earlier I'm sure things would've turned out much different, lol.
