  • Summary: What if mankind had to leave Earth, and somebody forgot to turn the last robot off? After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, Wall-E discovers a new purpose in life when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. EVE comes to realize that Wall-E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet’s future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans. Meanwhile, WALL-E chases eve across the galaxy and sets into motion one of the most exciting and imaginative comedy adventures ever brought to the big screen. Joining WALL-E on his fantastic journey across a universe of never-before-imagined visions of the future is a hilarious cast of characters including a pet cockroach, and a heroic team of malfunctioning misfit robots.

    You leave WALL-E with a feeling of the rarest kind: that you've just enjoyed a close encounter with an enduring classic.

    The visual design of Wall-E is arguably Pixar's best. Stanton, who wrote the script with Jim Reardon from a story he concocted with Peter Docter, creates two fantastically imaginative, breathtakingly lit worlds.

    While I may argue with the little guy's taste in musicals, it's remarkable to see any film, in any genre, blend honest sentiment with genuine wit and a visual landscape unlike any other.

    Rotates around a rusty little robotic hero who's built, as the movie is, with such emotion, brains and humor that whole universes exist in his whirring tones and binocular eyes.

    An astonishing film in every way. First half a mixture of sweet poetry and heart warming romance; second half, rough satire. All sweetened with optimism. Wall-E represents hope in a world that has lost touch with connections. The greatest of all great Pixar films. Here's hoping there's more like this.… Expand

    WALL-E is probably their biggest gamble yet, but as always, Pixar pulls it off. There is virtually no dialogue for at least the first 15 minutes of the movie, yet the audience is suspended by the charm of a tiny little trash compacter, something that is unheard of in a modern kids movie (let alone a regular movie.) The film also contains an overt environmental message that probably wouldn't have been possible a few years ago. All in all, it's not Pixar's best, but it's still an enjoyable movie and a must see for the big screen because the visual environment is absolutely gorgeous.… Expand

    The opening act had me transfixed with amazement. The cinematography and visual realization of an abandoned dystopian Earth will take your breath away. We see who is essentially a lonely child going about his futile, grinding routine, and his funny gags add an eerie resonance to the movie, as if he was trying to distract himself from pervasive loneliness. Sadly, after the plot starts moving and Wall… Expand

    The first and last 10 minutes were good. The rest was a rehash of Robots, the Jetsons, Star Wars, and other space operas. The movie jumps the shark the moment when the dialog starts and we see the unwelcome preachy societal commentary that has nothing to do with the 'love' story. I rushed home and watched Ratatouille, relieved that Wall-E was at least preceded by some truly outstanding Pixar films. This one has nowhere near the multilevel appeal of the others.… Expand
