Brief Synopsis (with no spoilers...I promise!): The setting is the distant future, and Earth has been abandoned by all human life due to the overabundance of trash build-up over the years. It hints that the Buy-N-Large (think Wal-mart on steroids) corporation is to blame. Wall-E, a garbage collecting robot and the last of his kind, and his pet cockroach are all the personality left on our desolate planet. Wall-E continues to do what he is programed to do, with occasional sidetracks as he's fascinated with all of our left-over trinkets and gadgets and has built up quite a collection of odds and ends. He has everything from an old VCR player and homemade tapes to silverware to a strapless bra (which he has no idea of the function, by the way). Life for Wall-E seems fairly lonely and mundane until the arrival of Eve, a recon robot sent from the massive space ship (think cruise ship in space) where all the overweight, lazy humans have been for hundreds of years. She's sent to see if life is sustainable once again on Earth. In the meantime she meets Wall-E before she indeed does find a sign of life. Her attraction to the quirky little robot doesn't stop her from her mission however, and she is soon heading back to the mother ship with her info....but lonely Wall-E hitches a ride, and that's where all the fun begins! Why We Went to See It: It's a Pixar movie. Period. Why You Might Want to See It: It's a Pixar movie. Period. And it's better than Ratatouille, which I didn't like near as well as most Pixars. Pixar has the best writers on the planet. They are simply amazing. Why You Might Not Want to See It: If you have very small children they might be bored at the beginning because there's little dialogue, and the plot is built through Wall-E's actions and quirky personality only. That is absolutely the only reason I can think of. Of course you don't have to see it in the theater. Will You Die if You Don't See It?: Eventually, yes. If you boycot this film, I'd say you have approximately one year to live....so plenty of time for the dvd. A Good Substitute: Well, if you haven't seen other Pixar movies, go rent them all. Other than that, there isn't one. Go see this. |
