Wall-E

[B4UTRUST]

Alright, first off this movie was very good. I enjoyed it very much and thought it was quite adorable actually. The animation was top notch, easily what we've come to expect from a Pixar production and the voice acting and general interactions of the charaters were very well done IMHO. So yeah, great movie, very cute movie, loved it, will most definatly buy it on blu-ray when it comes out.



Now for the spoilers and bits I had a few negative thoughts towards:
[spoilers]So there were a lot of mixed messages and subtle/not-so-subtle remarks about American culture, consumerism, corporate power, polution, exercise, dieting, etc. You've got a ship full of people who have willingly confined themselves to chairs and spend their entire lives on their asses with no exercise and constant eating in front of a screen where their every demand and desire is instantly filled by a loyal robot staff. These robots are brought to you by BNL (Buy N Large) a megacorp that has global world-wide power on a very real level. My immediate thought when they showed the "mega shopping center" was Oh hey...it's Wal-Mart. 700 years in the future we have all become fat lazy uneducated assholes who are so self-absorbed that we don't even notice our own surroundings. 700 years of living in the artificial gravity of space where our bone density has shrunk down to apparently nil according to the graphics shown. And yet we suddenly are able to walk and survive in Earth's normal gravity? Hell, I would have figured they would have been crushed to a fatty paste fairly soon after disembarking the ship. But oh well. The lessons learned from this firm are this - mass consumerism=bad, exercise=good, man giving total control to technology=bad. That's it in a nutshell, really. Otherwise a damned good movie all the hidden message shit aside. Oh and one last thing to walk away with from this movie, robot love = cuteness. [/spoilers]

So yeah, great movie overall and definately worth going to see on the big screen...

Totally adorable, totally worth the Big Screen Experience. Nitram and I loved it. The animation is flawless, the music choices priceless, and the action wavers perfectly between comedy and threat.

[spoilers]The scenes on Earth were the best kind of 'show, don't tell' that I've seen in a movie in a long time. Wall-E simply won my heart over with the simple scenes of doing his job. Add Eve (Eva?) and you have the start of an adorable love story, complete with a Very Pissed Off Female for a time. Later, when the Captain has Eva playing back the Earth footage, you can see her realizing all that Wall-E has done for her. In the end, love does conquer all. Kawaaaaaiiiii![/spoilers]

Stay through all the credits. The first part is lovely artistic work, the actual credit scroll has adorable 8-bit characters in a chase scene all around the screen (basic recap of the plot).
