I saw Wall-E last night and was blown away at times with it. It is my favorite movie ever, and I do not say that lightly.

Compared to The Godfather? The Graduate? Dr. Strangelove? Star Wars? Spinal Tap? It's without a doubt up there, it may be better.

By the aesthetic climax with the fire extinguisher, I was feeling something that I have never felt before. I was delightfully choking on the fulfilled beauty of the scene and the concept.

It's magic, superlatively perfect magic, achieved.

 

I there man will either see it today or next week

wow, it must be great! Dang, you should send that in to the movie reviews!

 

That wasn't a review. This is my review.

WALL-E a genuinely good movie. The thematic nature is insightful and original. The characterization is of unsurpasseable verisimilitude. The animation is a large enough jump over the past, in terms of creativity and appearance, to be breathtaking at times. The end result is unique and priceless.

The film's main focus is on love and its relationship with the duality of human achievement. Humans in WALL-E are neutral, disgustingly aloof, and ignorantly omnipotent. The conflict and "humanity" of the movie is found entirely in the unwittingly-motivated robotic heroes and villains. The conclusion is optimistically nihilistic; life is doomed to self-destructive cycles, but can beautiful every step of the way.

The robots are juxtaposed symbols of human creation and nature; on one side they strive to educate and advance humanity, but on the other they fight to keep humanity in a comfortably-satisfied quagmire. Eve and the Axiom are pushed against each other by long-forgotten human motivation; Walle is motivated to help Eve because of the long-forgotten human concept of love. Eve and Axiom demonstrate no desires of their own; they are products of directives. Walle is a completely clueless product of love.

The gender interplay between Walle and Eve is inspired and resonant. Walle is pretty unimpressive in every way beyond his diligence; he's bumbling, none-too-smart and none-too-capable. Eve is supersonic, packs incredible firepower, possesses all of the intelligence of the pair and hardly notices Walle until the film's climax (which is a dazzlingly delightful scene featuring a fire extinguisher in space). The realism of the relationship is unprecedented.

Once united, and nudged along by the Captain (whose glimmer of intrinsic human hope is the only input contemporary humans interject into the movie), the film finds its conclusion. "Life" returns to the humans, and due to their past (forgotten) achievements (robots and computers) they are granted a long and difficult reprise-recovery from their past achievements (the rampant consumerism that destroyed the Earth to begin with). And the single plant rescued by the love of Walle for Eve grows into a tree that shelters the two.

The fatal flaw in our civilization-literature is the perfect woman who drops out of the sky onto the desperate man, and after the conflict is resolved they live happily ever after. In WALL-E, that literally happens to a "T"; and the story has never been told as eloquently.

WALL-E is the story of our civilization, wrapped with a demonstration of how our civilization came to be, will end and will be reborn. It is the best movie ever made.

 

I contest that the above post has made up words in it

 

Ok i read that again and will say your smart as a tack ! and if i was able that's exactly how i would explain it .

With my Limited education ill sum it up again ...

Its got a Realism to it that's so real you didn't even realize it .

The Story is some how not superseded by the visuals , tho the visuals make every single CG animation in existence look like a flip book in comparison .

This movie will go down in history as raising the bar to a point that cannot be reached by anyone other than its developers .

Bluntly its by far the best CG movie ever made and may just be the best movie i have ever seen

 

Just saw it Saturday and I have to agree with ya'll...One of the best movies ever bar none...Entertaining, but made you think about where we as a people are headed...

 

I watched this last night and loved it! (Had to watch it here at work, so the ... errrr, "copy" i saw wasn't the greatest in definition) The movie is a definate must see and will be a for sure purchase!

I am a pixar fan thru and thru, and they just always seem to top themselves. This movie, for all its CG glory, makes you think about our civilization and just what we are doing to ourselves and our plant, all in a subtle, yet holy sh** way... It will definatley make you think!

VERY Good - Two - Will definately buy and recommend!!!
