WALL*E is out today! However as part of my Birthday Weekend, I will go see it tomorrow. Judging from the ads, it looks like a good movie, a robot love story. After I see it, expect a review from me. And, this is my 9th Pixar movie, as I saw the 1st 8 starting with Toy Story in 1995.


Your thoughts?

I got to see Wall*E today because my sister's friends (they're twins) were having a birthday party. I must say, it was a great movie, and it not only breeched "robot love" but other very controversial matters such as: humans living up in space, the Earth becoming a wasteland, what happens when people have so much technology they don't need excersize ETC.

I thought it was all very interesting, and highly recommend everyone see it.

The spork scene was my favorite. 8]

Hi!

WOW! UJ, it IS your birthday weekend too!
-I'm sure a Topic will come up, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY in advance!

I haven't seen Wall-E yet, but it sounds very good.
-Both my papers gave it fantastic reviews.
-Calling it, as you said, the best Pixar movie yet.

The Chicago Tribune said "The best sci-fi movie of the year, the best romance of the year, and possibly the best American movie of the year."
-WOW!

Alas, I probably won't see it quite so soon.

Bye for now!

Wall*E looks like a good movie. I hope to see it soon, if not in theaters then on DVD. Anything Pixar makes is great. :thumbsup:

It isn't yet in this country of fail, but I imagine it will be soon in a few days, at the IMAX theater (which is right around the corner from where I live), though most likely not on the big screen itself. P:

Either way, I really want to see it. Pixar's movies have always been among my favorites. Ratatouille, for example--I think that's one of my favorite movies up to date. I'd like to see if Wall-E can best it. C:

Just got back from the movies. So, here is my review:


IT WAS INCREDIBLE! :D


It already knocked out The Incredibles as my top favorite Pixar film of all time. The story was well told without resorting to scare tactics about having technology and old fashioned stuff to help our world. But the main focus is on robot love and lending helping hands as well. It was very touching and sweet at the same time. 10/10.

Extra 10 for the short, "Presto" as well. :)

Ooh, I really want to see this movie!

I didn't originally, in fact, I was a bit scared of the voice of Wall*E. XD So were my siblings. But now, my whole family wants to see it! (Everytime the advert is on, my brother shouts "WALL*E!" it's really cute ^_^ )

The whole future idea looks awesome, so I seriously can't wait!

Which was exactly what Pixar was aiming for, I'm sure. =P

But they, admittedly, did it quite well.

I watched it yesterday. While it isn't my favorite of Pixar movies, they did a great job.

I think, apparently contrary to what others are thinking. That this one is the best one they've done to date.

I think I'm drawn in by the sweet love overtone stuff and the lack of real dialogue. It was, if nothing more, a refreshing movie to watch after being flooded by a million comic book movies.

I saw it yesterday!

Oh, MAN, was it awesome! I had a feeling I was going to like it, but I come into the theather (with my whole family trailing behind :rolleyes: ) thinking that it was going to be some Global Warning awareness movie, EVE/WALLE wasn't gonna be a ship I was gonna...yanno, ship, and the only humor was going to be slapstick, and even though I enjoy that kind, I was hoping for me.

But I was shocked.

I really loved it! It did have some points like don't litter and stuff (my dad said when we left the movie that it was gonna be the cleanest theater. XD), WALLE/EVE is now my OTP (<3) and there were some really humour parts! XD

My favorite character had to be EVE. She was jsut so powerful, and strong-willed, but she had this soft-spot for WALL*E like when she was watching her security cam. Gosh, I almost cried looking at her. ;)
I was actually expecting the ending, but, hey! I was glad because for once I guessed something right in a movie's plot! :dance:

Overall, I loved it so much. I suggest everyone to see it!

Well, it's not so much as "don't litter" as to send the message that we need to find a new way to dispose of our garbage because the way we currently have (dumping stuff in landfills) isn't going to cut it and is harmful to the environment.

Example.

And plus you, of course, have the fitness thing which is pretty obvious. *Points to things that are "humans"*

WHO WANTS CAKE AND ICE CREAM? :rolleyes: Haha.
