Wall-E

So Pixar has come out with another movie. These are always great to see in theaters, for they are always good. Wall-E is no exception. A fun enjoyable movie about a love sick robot, left on earth to clean it up. Complete with a delightful cameo by Fred Willard(in the flesh) this movie is great.

The first 3rd of the the movie is virtually dialogue free(think of what THE ONE would be without the dog) Unless you count the words Wall-E and EVA. Even though the beginning is a tad slow it still works great to develop the two robot characters(and one lone cockroach) and helps to make the ending more enjoyable.

Once things go to space the movie steps up in typical Pixar fashion(like when the entire family gets in the mix in The Incredibles) more delightful characters are introduced, and mayhem and plot ensues.

(rant and minor spoilers follow.. consider yourself warned)

One thing I was really worried about, was PIXAR going political in a kids movie. Earth in shambles, a bunch of overweight humans, and a mega corp that runs everyones lives, there is a lot of statements there that could of been turned into some moralistic movie message that Hollywood just loves. Me however I am frankly sick of having some rich Hollywood idiots try to tell me how I should live my life. Pixar however dials it way down. The moralistic messages are not brought to the foreground, instead the love story stays the main focus, and when all is said and done the movie doesn't really bash humans, instead we are turned into co-heroes of the film, which was quite nice.

(rant over sorry)

Wall-E is defiantly a must see movie, even if you don't have a kid to drag with you to the theater
