WALL-E has all the hallmarks we've come to expect from the best of the Pixar brand (excellent animation, story and humor), but this one is a standout amongst it's brethren. The creators here have managed to fill this simple tale full of genuine emotion and humor and build a believable relationship between it's main characters, all through action and without dialogue. The whole movie is charming, wondrous and fun. Not one scene falters. In addition to this, there's some brilliant social commentary about consumerism, waste management, environmental stability, and over-reliance on technology. Though, all of this is presented as easy-to-read subtext and helps serve the story. |

Wall-E is a significant departure for Pixar, utilizing pure visual storytelling and very little dialogue, and relying on some interesting themes of conservation and waste. That doesn't mean the film is devoid of the usual Pixar brand of subtle visual humor and some impressive and awe-inspiring visuals. It's a charming story that shows more than it tells and never stops being interesting. |

A great animation movie for adults. It is a little slow for children who won't understand the cuteness and themes of the film. The ending scenes almost felt like a different movie, which I think is the main reason I didn't give this 4 out of 4. I feel like I was being tested by PIXAR for how far they could take a "Child's" movie. Amazing, and a must-see for all! |

Robot Finds Love, Critic Finds Good Movie |
|
It's been years since I've seen Wall-E. I remember enjoying it, just like the rest of the Pixar bunch, so I got it via Netflix to see again. A wise choice. Wall-E is even better than I remember it.
Wall-E is an ingenious film that occurs thousands of years in the future. Humans no longer live on the Earth due to pollution, they instead live in a giant spaceship, called the Axim. The Wall-E robots are left at Earth to clean up the mess. All of the Wall-E's, however, have been wiped out over time. Only one remains. But when EVE, a robot from the Axim, comes to Earth to find life, Wall-E's life is flipped upside down.
The first half-hour of the film is performed with minimal dialogue, but still mananges to express all kinds of emotion: Laughter, loneliness, perhaps even sadness. I cr... |

"Wall-E" by Yojimbo |
|
The Earth has been abandoned by the human race and a lone robot is left behind to tend this interplanetary garbage dump. I'm fully aware that I'm not the intended audience for this kind of thing, and I'm sure kids love the character of Wall-E. But for me, he is easily the worst aspect of this film and brings nothing to the story but the usual weak slapstick and sappy sentimentality I've come to expect from cartoons. Not to mention the fact that whenever he's on the screen the dialogue is nothing but "Eva...?" Wall-E!" "EVA!" "WALL-E!!" etc etc ad nauseum. For this reason I very nearly didn't get past the first half an hour of this film as it contains nothing but. Once the story gets going however, it's quite an enjoyable little sci-fi fairytale involving a human race that has become a hor... |

Wall-E review |
|
Several WALL-E’s (Waste Allocation Load Lifter, Earth Class) were tasked to clean-up the earth from years of trash accumulated. Humans now live in a ship called Axiom where everything can be accessed with a push of a button or voice command. A robot named EVE (Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator) was tasked to look for any living organism to provide future vegetation, to bring back Earth’s natural resources to make it livable again.
A few memorable lines: Captain – “But life is sustainable now. Look at this plant. Green and growing. It's living proof he was wrong.” “I don't want to survive. I want to live.” A simple premise yet everything from the eye-catching graphics, delightful script and a myriad of themes such as humanity, love, consumerism, leisure, responsibility in our ... |
